Dental implants are effective at restoring a lost tooth and completing your smile once more. To help you understand more about dental implants, our doctors, Dr. Peter S. Warshawsky and Dr. Eric G. Driver with Periodontics of the Desert in Palm Desert, California, is happy to help you learn more.

Here are some essential keys to understanding dental implants:

-Over the last 40 years, dental implants continue to be one of the biggest developments in dentistry according to the American Dental Association because of their many years of success.

-The dental implant is made of titanium, which is a very durable material and utterly compatible with the human body.

-Dental implants are intended to match your existing teeth so that no one will notice it.

-Dental implants are an enduring option because they are surgically placed into your jawbone and fuse with your natural bone over time creating a strong anchor for your new tooth.

-After the healing process, a dental crown will be made to complete your new tooth, which is custom-crafted to place over the implant and match your teeth looking natural for many years to come.

As you can see, dental implants can be beneficial as a long-term solution to missing a tooth.
