Dental Implants
Serving San Diego, La Jolla, and Coronado
Nothing detracts from a spectacular smile like a missing tooth. A gap in your smile will mar your image and negatively affect your oral health. Almost as soon as a permanent tooth falls out, the jawbone begins to deteriorate and the surrounding teeth shift to compensate for the gap, negatively affecting your bite.
If you have one or more missing teeth, Dr. Strober may recommend dental implants. A dental implant has two parts: a titanium screw placed into the jawbone during a brief oral surgery and a replacement tooth. As your surgery site heals, the jawbone bonds to the implant to create a solid foundation, much like a natural tooth root. Dr. Strober will place an aesthetic cap, or crown, over the implant post so that your new prosthesis blends flawlessly into your existing dentition. Dental implant patients enjoy the freedom to eat whatever they want, whenever they want. They speak clearly, with confidence. And they just can't stop smiling.
If you have a missing tooth, take action now to restore your oral health. Call the San Diego office of Dr. Strober for a dental implant consultation today.
