Dental Implants Hermosa Beach Ca

Dental implants are small titanium screws designed to replace the missing tooth’s root form. Implant screws are made of biocompatible titanium metal. Dental implants integrate with the jaw bone and provide stimulation of the underlying bone structure; hence aiding in maintenance of this bone structure.

Dental implants behave like real roots. They can be used to replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth and/or provide support in full mouth reconstructions. The implant crowns (the visible portion of the tooth) can be made of porcelain material like Procera and Zerconia, porcelain fused to gold alloys and gold alloys.

Today, immediate implant loading is a common procedure. "Teeth in a day" refers to placement of implant crowns/prostheses during the same appointment as the surgical placement of the implant root form.

Today there are many different dental implant manufacturers: Nobel Biocare, Astra Tech Dental, Biomet 3i and Straumann USA to name a few.
