Dental implants are a dental component that supports a crown, bridge, denture, or other dental prosthesis. They are by far the most natural and permanent method to replace teeth.   Most people are candidates for dental implants, as long as their jawbone is thick enough to sustain the implants. The doctors at Affinity Dental of La Mesa can help patients decide if they will benefit from implants.

There are many advantages to dental implants.  Implants not only aid a patient’s comfort by functioning as natural, healthy teeth, but they also improve the patient’s appearance as they look and feel like real teeth.  Because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent - unlike partials or dentures that come in and out of the mouth.

Removable dentures can make chewing extremely difficult. Dental implants function like the patient’s own teeth, allowing them to eat their favorite foods with confidence and without pain. While patients are still advised to practice good oral hygiene, dental implants make caring for teeth easier. Individual implants allow easier access between teeth: as nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of the patient’s own teeth are left intact.

Dental implants are a great long-term investment. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
