Benefits of Dental Implants


AA Family Dental Group of Tustin, California, employs a staff of dedicated general dentists and dental specialists. For patients with missing teeth, AA Family Dental Group offers on-site dental implants

When a patient loses one or more teeth, both structure and function can suffer. The patient may find it more difficult to chew and speak, while the gap in the jaw can lead to bone deterioration and cause the remaining teeth to become misaligned. An implant fits into the jawbone in the same way as a natural tooth does, thus providing the necessary support to the surrounding structures.

The stability of an implant also means that it stays in place when the patient bites an apple or chews on a steak. Unlike dentures, which can click together or shift around in the mouth, correctly placed implants do not cause discomfort while eating, nor do they slide against the gum line and cause the patient to mumble when speaking. Patients can also smile with confidence, knowing that their implants are made to look like natural teeth.
