Dental Implants

At Encinitas Dental Art we offer dental implants as an alternative to traditional dental brides for tooth replacement. Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You will regain the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural.

The dental implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone of your jaw will integrate with the titanium of the implant, creating a strong foundation for a dental crown or dentures. Dental implants will help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration and the shifting of teeth that occurs when teeth are missing.

Dental Implants unlike dental bridges do not require the preparation of the adjacent teeth. Dental implants themselves are not susceptible to tooth decay. Because the need for preparation of the adjacent teeth is eliminated, the shape and strength of your natural teeth will be preserved. With dental implants the ability to brush and floss normally is also preserved, lowering the risk for gum disease around teeth and implants.
