Dental Implants

Dental implants have become a popular procedure for replacing one or more missing teeth due to their natural feel, as compared to a bridge or dentures. If you are missing one or more teeth, it is vital to the overall health of your mouth to replace those teeth. When a tooth is missing, it can affect the structure of other teeth, and, slowly over time, tooth migration and bone loss occur. Dental implants solve these problems with a natural-looking and feeling prosthetic tooth that is durable and long lasting.

Most implants require metal anchors placed in the jawbone. The anchor fuses to the bone, an extension is placed on the anchor, and a prosthetic tooth is placed on top of the extension. This multi-step process provides an end result for patients that looks better, feels better, and performs better than other more traditional approaches to tooth replacement. They also have the advantage of a high success rate and will not get decay like natural teeth.

If you're considering dental implants, you may want to know what will take place during your consultation with Dr. Castaneda. First, he will examine your teeth to make a determination as to whether dental implants are a good solution for your dental issues. Dr. Castaneda may take x-rays to find out how much jawbone has been lost. When the examination is complete, you will have all the information you need to know if implants will work for you and what type of implant Dr. Castaneda feels is most appropriate.
