Dental Implants are artificial tooth replacements for missing teeth. Tooth loss is caused by a number of different reasons, and having missing teeth can cause several negative effects. People with missing teeth may be embarrassed to speak or smile, or have to change their eating habits due to biting irregularities. Though bridges and dentures can also counter tooth loss, dental implants are a stronger, more durable, and permanent solution. Dental implants are permanent because they are implanted below the gum line and fuse to the jaw bone, and won’t ever slip or shift in your mouth while chewing or talking.

The process can be lengthy and usually consists of several separate visits to your Los Angles cosmetic dentist, however, many find that because of the stability, comfort, and natural look and feel of dental implants, the procedure is well worth it.
