Dental implants are one of many types of restorations used for missing teeth
Implants are just one type of restoration used as a solution to tooth loss. While more expensive upfront, dental implants can provide longevity that other tooth replacement types cannot, making them a highly desirable option.
Why dental implants might be right for you
Below are some of the reasons why many of our patients at Claire Cho DDS of Aliso Viejo, California, choose to move forward with the placement and restoration of dental implants with Dr. Claire Cho:
- Long-lasting. One of the key reasons patients love dental implants is their permanency. Because the dental implant is placed directly into the jawbone, it is held firmly in place with a proper, sturdy foundation. It fuses to the bone through osseointegration, ensuring strength and functionality. When properly cared for, a dental implant can last a lifetime
- Function like natural adult teeth. Because the dental implant is manually placed in the jaw and fused to it with time, it has the strength and durability of a natural adult tooth
- Maintain proper facial shapes. You may notice that patients who have had full dentures for an extended period begin to have changes to their jaw and chin area. This is due to the natural loss of bone once teeth are lost or extracted. Dental implants preserve the jawbone and avoid dental resorption, allowing patients to maintain their facial structure and youthful appearance and avoiding the appearance of a sunken-in mouth and jaw
- Easy to care for. These restorations do not require additional care and attention, allowing patients of Claire Cho DDS in Aliso Viejo, California, to brush and floss as usual. However, this doesn’t mean that regular dental visits for evaluations and cleanings are not essential
- Look natural. Dr. Claire Cho’s dental implants are restored with restorations made of high-quality porcelain, ensuring that the final result looks as natural as possible within the smile. This allows our implant patients to smile with confidence and improve self-esteem
