Placement of Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent foundation for replacement teeth. Removable dentures rest on the gum line and fixed bridges use adjacent teeth as anchors, but dental implants replace a missing tooth root. Once firmly established as part of the jawbone, they can hold individual teeth, a bridge, or a denture.
The statistics surrounding tooth loss are surprising. As many as 69% of adults in the 35-44 age group have at least one missing tooth due to decay, gum disease, trauma or a failed root canal. By the age of 74, 26% of adults no longer have their natural teeth. Just twenty years ago, dentures and bridges were the only solution. Today, dental implants offer a sturdy permanent solution for replacing both the missing teeth and their missing roots.
Procedural Steps
The typical dental implant resembles a titanium screw. In a dental surgery it is positioned in the jawbone and over several months the bone tissue grows firmly around it.
Dental implants combine superior techniques and high-quality dental materials. In Studio City, California, Smiles By Sands is ready to help you regain your self-confidence and naturally beautiful smile with the latest dental implant procedure.

- In a second and simpler procedure, a small metal post called an abutment is attached to the top of the implant. It protrudes through the gums and will hold your new tooth.
- The third step is attachment of your replacement tooth to the abutment. For individuals missing several teeth, the dentist will create a bridge or denture instead of an individual tooth. In this case, several implants may be required.

Hey, I know bleaching is also one of your services. I have read that some are using it as they wanted it. It's like addiction that once you already have white teeth, they're not satisfied with the whiteness.
