Escondido, CA, June 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Millions of Americans are missing one or more of their teeth,
which can put their remaining teeth and their dental health at
risk. When a tooth is lost, the bone around that socket begins to
dissolve, and the other teeth may tip or shift into the gap. As the
teeth move out of alignment, they can become more difficult to
clean, and the patient's risk of developing gum disease and tooth
decay increases. Dr. James Khazian, the leading Escondido dental implants expert,
now offers complimentary consultation for dental implants to help
patients learn more about their options.
Dental implants are
titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jaw bone. They
are biocompatible and allow bone growth into their
micro-surface and creation of a very strong bond into the
surrounding bone. This process is called "oseo-integration" and
usually takes about 3-4 months to complete. Once they are bonded to
bone, dental implants may support a single crown, a dental bridge,
or provide retention and stability for a denture.
Although other tooth replacement options are available, none are as
reliable, strong or long lasting as dental implants. The 15-year
success rate of dental implants is above 90 percent.
