If you have lost a tooth or have several missing teeth, Dr. A. J. Boyajian may recommend dental implants as part of your treatment plan. Dr. Boyajian and his experienced team offer a full range of restorative dentist services and use the latest technologies available to provide lasting results. Dental implants may be a valuable solution for replacing lost teeth permanently, and they can be used to improve traditional treatments such as partial dentures and fixed bridges.

RESTORATIVE DENTIST FOR TOOTH LOSS AND IMPLANTS

An estimated 69 percent of adults between the ages of 35 and 44 have lost at least one tooth to injury, tooth decay, or gum disease. Approximately 26 percent of adults have lost all of their permanent teeth by the age of 74. The latest dental technologies and advances in the field of tooth replacement have made it possible for patients to enjoy long-lasting benefits with dental implants.

Traditional methods of tooth replacement, such as dentures and fixed bridges still have increased complications over time. Removable dentures can cause bone loss which affects a patient’s facial structure. Poorly-fitting dentures can make clicking sounds when the wearer speaks or eats. Fixed bridges require grinding down adjacent teeth, which can make healthy teeth more susceptible to damage. While both of these treatment options are still safe and viable, there is another option: dental implants.

Dental implants do yield better long-term results for tooth replacement over other procedures. Since the titanium or ceramic implant is surgically fused to the jaw bone and easily integrated into existing natural bone, it ensures a much more secure fit and mirrors the tooth root and structure. Dental implants also stimulate the jawbone just like natural teeth, so this can prevent bone loss over time. Implants are more resistant to decay and can help to preserve optimal oral health over a lifetime.
