A San Clemente, CA Orange County Dentist Offers Implant Dental Care

By Clyde Banosia


It is becoming very common these days to replace a lost tooth with a dental implant. This implant is made of titanium metal and is a replacement for the tooth root. This kind of dentistry must be done by a specially trained implant professional such as an Orange County dentist.

Different people require different kinds of implants due to the strength of the jawbone and other conditions. In some cases, the 'root' is implanted and it is around 6 months before the crown is installed. This is to allow the jaw to fuse properly. What is known as the "Immediate Dental Implants" put a temporary tooth in place immediately. This type requires around three or four months for the implant to properly fuse to the bone.

People who wear dentures, that are difficult to keep in place, have discovered the miracle of the "mini implant". This implant is done fairly quickly and the dentures are immediately fastened into place. This has been great for those who have difficulty with trying to use denture adhesives.

Any work of this kind requires the expertise and skills of a professional especially trained for the procedure. In consultation with such a professional, there will be a special evaluation of the condition of the teeth, gums, and bone structure. In addition, there will be x-rays taken.

When it is found to be favorable to use implants, the work can be done under a local anesthesia. The length of time it will take for the healing process depends on the quantity and quality of the jawbone as well as the kind of implant made.

Implants can be used for the anchor of a bridge, denture, or crown. It must be remembered that a dental implant is not an option for everyone. This would be the case if the jawbone would not support an implant because of bone loss. An Orange County dentist can provide information regarding the advantages of a dental implant.
