Common Uses for Tooth Implants
- Replacement of Individual Teeth | Century City dentist Dr. Bill Dorfman places the tooth implant where your natural tooth root would be, serving as a sturdy foundation for a beautiful dental crown.
- Replacement of Multiple Teeth | If you are missing multiple teeth or need extensive restorative dentistry work, we may recommend multiple dental implants and rebuild your smile with several dental crowns.
- Implant Supported Dentures | We also offer dental implant supported dentures. Your dental implants simply serve as an anchor to your dentures. Tooth implant supported dentures offer major benefits, including less worry about the maintenance and inconvenience of traditional dentures. Our patients love being able to eat what they like without worrying about keeping their dentures in place.
What Are Dental Implants?
A tooth implant is a durable titanium cylinder that is surgically placed into the upper or lower jawbone. After placement, the implant will fuse with the jawbone until it is fully integrated and becomes part of your body. Dental implants can be restored with dental crowns, dentures, or dental bridges.
Dental implants work just like real teeth with real roots! They stimulate the jawbone to prevent it from weakening and collapsing. Each tooth implant can sustain all of the bite force and ability of a natural tooth.
Are Dental Implants Right For Me?
If you want to replace one or more missing teeth, ask us about implant dentistry. Dental implants are reliable enough to support bridges, dentures, or crowns.
Most healthy patients are candidates for dental implants. Dr. Dorfman can tell you more after a screening and evaluation process.
Choosing A Dental Implants Dentist
In the world of implant dentistry, dentists are often divided into 1) dentists who surgically place the implants and 2) dentists who restore the implants with crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Typically we can both place and restore your implants. In complicated cases we may work with an oral surgeon to place the implants but Dr. Dorfman will ALWAYS restore the implants.
Dr. Bill Dorfman has an excellent eye for creating beautiful new smiles with dental implants. He can help you, too!
