Medicare dental implants are a natural-looking way to restore your smile and your ability to chew.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

They also provide a strong foundation for other restorative treatments, such as partial bridges and dentures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Additionally, unlike other treatments, they don\u2019t rely on the health of surrounding teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The osseointegration process gives your implant the strong base to stand independently, making this treatment a more accessible option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you\u2019re interested in dental implants, schedule an appointment at one of our San Diego locations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We\u2019re always available to help you improve your dental health.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dental implants are the most natural-looking and reliable way to get your smile back, and they\u2019re an excellent long-term solution for anyone with a missing tooth. Dental implants are essentially metal tooth roots that can be surgically implanted into your jawbone. These metal roots are made of materials like titanium that work well with the body. Shaped much like screws, implants support various dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures. The result is a natural-looking and fully functioning smile, with restorations you can use and care for just like your natural teeth. Thanks to these benefits, dental implants offer a reliable alternative to crowns and removable dentures.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Believe it or not, implants are the closest thing to your natural teeth that modern dentistry has to offer. And we\u2019re proud to provide implant dentistry services at all of our locations in San Diego, CA. For more information, give us a call with any questions or set up an appointment to see if implants are a good fit for you.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At Dental Express, we also offer mini implants. If you don\u2019t have sufficient bone mass for regular implants or can\u2019t undergo multiple treatments, we may recommend mini implants for you. The treatment is much less invasive, and patients recover faster compared to regular implants.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

During treatment, we use local anesthesia and insert a titanium post with a small ball at the end of it. After inserting the post, we\u2019ll attach the restoration. Following the treatment, you may experience some slight discomfort, and we advise avoiding hard, sticky, and chewy foods. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Best Candidates for Dental Implants<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The best candidates for dental implants are patients with the jawbone and gum health to support an implant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s crucial to stay on top of your at-home dental care regimen and schedule routine checkups with your dentist to ensure your mouth is ready for treatments like these.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Full dental implants can replace a missing tooth or teeth when connected to an implant-supported restoration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If you have a crown, bridge, or denture that you\u2019re unhappy with, implant dentistry might be right for you. Sometimes, restorations can be a hassle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But with dental implants crowns, you can treat your restoration like your natural teeth without the trouble of rigorous cleaning or sticky adhesives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

If there\u2019s not enough gum tissue to provide a solid foundation for an implant, we may need to perform a gum or bone graft before your treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

At Dental Express, we can\u2019t offer you implant dentistry services if you use tobacco, are pregnant, or have another condition you\u2019re being treated for.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
