Long Beach, California - Thanks to improvements made in the field of cosmetic dentistry, the need for bridgework or partial plates is greatly reduced. Dental implants have made the replacement of missing teeth virtually undetectable, restored confidence and a carefree smile to the patients of many a Long Beach cosmetic dentist .

Dental implants are preferable not only because they simulate a natural tooth in appearance but also for the comfort they provide. Both looking and feeling comfortable makes them the first choice in tooth replacement. Additionally, dental implants last for years.

Anchored by a titanium cylinder placed in the bone, the cylinder serves the purpose of the original tooth’s root and provides a platform to attach a crown. The tell-tale movement that can accompany dentures is avoided, as is the worry over eating difficulties or speech impairments that can often betray them. With dental implants, Long Beach residents who have lost teeth can regain function and comfort without sacrificing appearance.

While implants have been around for decades, the range of patients who can benefit from them has increased, as have the success rates. The biggest hindrance to the use of dental implants, lack of adequate bone density, s decreased thanks to recent cosmetic dentistry advances. In addition to individual tooth replacement, dental implants are also useful to provide support for full or partial dentures.

Among the benefits of dental implants Long Beach residents can expect are the preservation of remaining teeth due to reduction in bone re-absorption. The loss of a tooth causes the gradually receding of supporting bone structure. Moreover, the introduction of a bridge can require the involvement of several other teeth causing those teeth to become damaged as well.

While nothing can totally replace the loss of ones natural teeth Long Beach cosmetic dentists come close and no one needs to be the wiser.
