Treatment with Dental Implants

Depending on the condition of your current dental health as well as the position of your teeth, there are two main types of materials that can be used for your dental implants. Porcelain imitates the natural tooth best which is why it is the more aesthetic choice. This is mainly used for front teeth which demands attractive teeth to make your smile look beautiful. However, it is not very durable which makes it a fragile option for back teeth which require a lot of chewing and biting force.

Metal implants are the better choice as they perform tooth functions best. They are usually made with noble metal alloys so that an infection doesn’t spread through the gums. However, they are easily spotted and have little or no aesthetic value.

The biting force makes up for whatever attractiveness is lost and metallic implants last longer than porcelain which makes it the more cost-effective solution.

Implant dentistry requires surgery and you will have the experts, Dr. Mike Pham and Dr. Peter Vo to take care of you during the process.

Depending on the extent of surgery required, you will be sedated with a local or general anesthetic prior to surgery. The procedure itself is simple and can be completed in a single visit.

You need a prior appointment to have a checkup and have the impressions of your teeth taken so the lab can build your artificial implant and crown. There may be further treatments necessary depending on your current dental health such as bone grafting and periodontal treatments.
