Nov 21, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Los Gatos, CA cosmetic dentist, Dr. Gregory Sawyer, is helping his adult patients who have experienced tooth loss finally discover a permanent and natural-looking alternative for restoration using the latest dental technology. With permanent dental implants, Dr. Sawyer is able to provide a replacement tooth that performs, looks, and feels just like natural tooth.
Dental implants are the most advanced option in the dental industry currently for patients who have experienced tooth loss due to excessive decay, health problems, or injury. Traditionally, partial dentures, bridges, or full dentures have been used to conceal the void of missing teeth, however, these appliances still don’t provide patients with full function of their teeth for everyday tasks such as chewing and speaking properly. With dental implants however, patients can enjoy the look and function of their smile just as if they still had all of their permanent teeth.
“Using dental implants, we’ve been able to achieve some fantastic results for our patients’ smiles that have had missing teeth at one point,” said Dr. Sawyer. “Once patients receive dental implants in place of their missing teeth, they almost forget that the implants are even there because they look and feel so natural. It really is the best solution the industry can offer right now, and is one that will last them throughout their lifetime.”
Unlike other oral appliances like bridges, partial dentures, and full dentures that can easily break, become loose or cause problems with bacteria, dental implants have been proven to remain intact for at least 20 years, if not for the lifetime of the patient when placed properly by a qualified dentist. Dental implants are just as strong, and sometimes even stronger, than natural teeth, allowing patients to practically eat anything they prefer. Additionally, dental implants can be brushed and flossed just like natural teeth as well.
Dental implants are placed through a surgical procedure, where its screw-like structure is inserted into the jawbone to simulate the function of a natural tooth root. The newly-placed implant is given several weeks to heal as its titanium material naturally fuses to the jaw bone. Once this process is completed, an artificial porcelain crown is attached to the implant to mimic the look of a natural tooth. Implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, a series of teeth, or also for denture patients who prefer a completely permanent alternative to their current oral appliances.
With more than 40 years of experience as a dental professional, Dr. Sawyer is one of the most skilled general and cosmetic dentists in the Los Gatos area. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California dental school and throughout his years of practice, has completed thousands of hours of continuing dental education. In addition to placing cosmetic dental implants in Los Gatos, CA, Dr. Sawyer also lectures other dentists across the world about dental implants and instructs them on how to place them effectively.
