Whether you have lost teeth to dental decay, gum disease, or traumatic injury, it is important to speak with a skilled dentist regarding your replacement options. At the office Buena Park Smile Dental, we are experienced in all facets of care and offer the most advanced treatment options for the benefit of our valued patients.

According to the American College of Prosthodontists, more than 36 million Americans do not have any teeth, and 120 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one tooth. These numbers are expected to grow in the next two decades. In most cases, tooth loss occurs as the result of extensive tooth decay and gum disease, or as a result of an injury.

Thanks to advances in prosthetic dentistry, dental implants can closely replicate the look, feel, and function of your own teeth. Made from biocompatible materials, dental implants behave in much the same way as the roots of natural teeth and are inserted into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Over the course of the healing process, the bone fuses with the implant, creating a stable anchoring point for the placement of a crown, bridge, or overdenture. With a 98 percent success rate (the highest of any implanted surgical device), dental implants offer an effective treatment for missing teeth. While the field of prosthetic dentistry offers many great solutions for treating an incomplete smile, dental implants are one of the most popular and highly effective options in care.

If you are considering dental implants to reestablish a complete smile, Buena Park Smile Dental will work with you to develop a treatment plan that suits your needs, comfort level, and budget. Don’t’ wait any longer to improve your smile when help is only a phone call away. New patients are always welcome in our state-of-the-art facility -- your resource for the best that modern dentistry has to offer.
