Dental implants are one of the most significant breakthroughs in tooth replacement technology in the past five decades. Unlike conventional dentures that merely sit on gum tissue, dental implants in Northridge, CA function as replacement tooth roots. They naturally integrate with your jawbone through a biological process specialists call “osseointegration.”
This natural bonding with your bone structure offers numerous health advantages:
- Prevents the jawbone loss that typically follows tooth loss
- Helps maintain fuller facial features and a more youthful appearance
- Allows you to chew with force comparable to natural teeth
- Protects your remaining healthy teeth
- Delivers enduring results with proper maintenance
When you select Encino Dream Smile for your treatment, you receive:
- Care from a dentist with extensive specialized experience and continuous education
- Various comfort options if you feel nervous about dental procedures
- Solutions tailored to your specific oral health requirements
During your initial consultation, we will discuss which implant approach would be most effective for your particular situation. Many patients can receive their implants and new teeth in a single visit.
We provide these implant options:
- Implant Crowns – We insert a titanium post into your jawbone and attach a natural-looking crown to replace a single missing tooth.
- Implant Bridges – For multiple missing teeth, implant bridges fill the gap without compromising nearby healthy teeth. This approach helps your natural teeth remain strong longer.
- Implant Dentures – Studies show that dentures secured to implants enable substantially better chewing compared to traditional dentures. They remain stable while you eat and speak.
- All-on-4 Implants – This innovative method uses just four strategically angled posts to support an entire arch of teeth. It achieves results comparable to techniques using more implants.
- Mini Implants – If you have reduced jawbone volume, these smaller posts can still provide secure replacement teeth with less invasive surgery.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction – We can systematically rebuild all your teeth to restore complete function and natural appearance.
