Dental Implants
Dental implants are one of the most promising and exciting advances in modern dentistry. An implant is a small titanium screw that is placed in the jawbone in the location of a missing tooth.
The implant is then used to support an individual crown or a denture. We place both denture-supporting and individual implants. Mt. Baldy Dental Center also offers bone grafting services to augment the jawbone when necessary to support a dental implant.
Dental Prosthetics/Dentures
Full or partial dentures have a gum-looking base created from plastic resin, which sits over the remaining bone ridge that once supported the teeth. The prosthetic teeth attached to this base are customized to look and function like natural teeth. Dentures stay in place mainly through the suction created by the close fit over the alveolar ridges – so it is necessary that the dentures fit properly. Dentures placed in the upper jaw receive additional support from the large surface area of the mouth’s roof (palate), which makes it more stable.
It may take some time to get used to talking and eating with dentures as the device sets into the position previously occupied by the teeth. Gradually, the nerves, ligaments and muscles will adapt to the device to ensure natural oral functions.
Dental Emergencies
A dental emergency can happen when you least expect it, but you don’t have to face it alone.
