How Natural-Looking are Dental Implants?

Dental implants, which are called the gold standard in tooth replacement, are one of the most natural-looking way to replace a tooth or several teeth. Our expert in dental implants in Huntington Beach can use implants in many ways to restore your smile and the function and health of your mouth. 

Bridges and dentures have long been the most popular ways to replace lost teeth, but they have limitations. Conventional bridges are supported by other teeth, and dentures are held in place with suction. Although these restorations restore the function and some of the appearance of your smile, they are also associated with bone loss, which is a natural consequence of tooth loss. As the bone loss continues, you may develop a gap above the bridge or need to have your dentures adjusted. 

Implants are different. Because they become a part of the jawbone, they can help keep it strong. The replacement tooth is then attached to the implant. This design is as close to the natural design of teeth as is possible, and it results in a new tooth that feels real and also looks real. No one will be able to tell the difference between your implants and your natural teeth.
