Dental Implants Near Me in Downey

Dental Implants Near Me

Dental implants are small titanium screws that replace a lost tooth
root. If you are looking for dental implants near you, this page is for
you. We are experts in dental implants. We help patients fix lost teeth
using dental implants whether they have lost a single tooth or multiple
teeth.

Types of Dental Implants

Endosteal (in the bone): You are probably
familiar with this type as it is the most common. It involves surgically
placing screw-like posts into the jawbone. One implant can hold one or
more prosthetic crowns.

Subperiosteal (on the bone): This is more
common for patients who have a short jawbone height. Instead of placing
the implant into the jawbone, it is placed on top of the jaw with metal
framework posts.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants may not be for everyone. You are a good candidate for
a dental implant if:

  • Your oral health and overall health are in good condition. For
    example, people who have diabetes may not be ideal for
    implants.

  • You have adequate bone in your jaw to support the
    implant.

  • You have healthy gum tissues. People with gum disease aren’t
    suitable for implants.

  • You are not a heavy smoker or drinker.

Dental Implant Procedures

Single Tooth Dental Implants. If you’re
missing a single tooth, one dental implant can replace it.

Multiple Tooth Dental Implants. If you’re
missing several teeth and they are in a row, an implant bridge is more
suitable. If they are not in a row, you can get multiple implants.

Full Mouth Dental Implants. If you’re
missing all your teeth, they can be replaced by full-mouth dental
implants without necessarily placing a single implant for each.

Dental implants can really turn your life around and take away all
the troubles caused by missing teeth. Call us at to learn more or
