Los Alamitos Dental Care: Where Dental Implants Shape Beautiful Smiles

What are the advantages of dental implants?

• Strong and durable. Los Alamitos, California, patients considering dental implants will find they are much more durable and long-lasting than alternative solutions. Dental implants, when cared for and monitored properly over time, will often last patients a lifetime
• Natural-looking. Because dental implants are restored with porcelain restorations or full cosmetic dentures, they remain natural-looking in the smile and blend in for a beautiful and fully functional solution to any tooth loss you may experience.
• Maintain bone structure. When implants are placed in the jawbone, they will stimulate bone growth through osseointegration. This allows the natural jawbone to grow around the implant and hold it firmly in place. It also eliminates the loss of bone that can contribute to a sunken and aged look for the patient if the teeth are not replaced with implants. 
• Versatile. With dental implants, patients can restore their smile in many ways with the implant as the foundation. The abutment that is above the gumline can be restored with bridges, crowns, and dentures, depending on the needs of the patient.
