Read MoreHow Modern Implants Help Your Health
Dental implants are one of the biggest breakthroughs in tooth replacement in the last 50 years. Unlike dentures that sit on your gums, dental implants in Van Nuys, CA work like new tooth roots. They join with your jawbone in a process doctors call “osseointegration.”
This joining with your bone gives you many health benefits:
- Stops the bone loss that happens after you lose teeth
- Keeps your face looking fuller and younger
- Lets you chew almost as well as with natural teeth
- Doesn’t harm your healthy teeth nearby
- Lasts much longer with good care
When you choose Encino Dream Smile, you get:
- Treatment from a dentist with years of experience and ongoing training
- Different ways to stay comfortable if you’re nervous
- Solutions made just for your mouth and needs
During your first visit, we’ll explain which type of implant would work best for you. Many patients can get their implants and new teeth on the same day.
We offer these types of implant treatments:
- Implant Crowns – We place a metal post in your jaw and put a tooth-colored crown on top.
- Implant Bridges – When you’re missing several teeth, implant bridges fix the gap without hurting your healthy teeth nearby. This helps keep your natural teeth healthy longer.
- Implant Dentures – Research shows that dentures attached to implants help you chew significantly better than regular dentures. They stay in place when you eat and talk.
- All-on-4 Implants – This method uses just four posts placed at special angles to hold a full set of teeth. It works just as well as using more implants.
- Mini Implants – If your jawbone is thin, these smaller posts can still give you secure new teeth with less surgery.
- Full-Mouth Reconstruction – We can rebuild all your teeth step by step to bring back both how they look and how well they work.
