Implant Dentistry
With the arrival of implant dentistry, we have a better way to help patients who are missing teeth. Our patients who replace missing teeth with dental implants report satisfaction rates greater than those receiving bridges, partial dentures or conventional dentures.
Patients of Murieta Dental and our nearby communities are fortunate to have a dentist as well-trained and experienced as Dr. Sengsouvanh for their care. During his dental training, Dr. Sengsouvanh’s focus was strongly on oral and dental surgery. After beginning his practice, he continued his training in placing dental implants to ensure his patients always get superior care.
He has equipped his practice with the most advanced and up-to-date equipment for the greatest success with every procedure. When placing dental implants, he utilizes a three-dimensional x-ray system to select the very best and strongest location for the implant.
Dental implants need biannual maintenance visits to keep them healthy and strong. If you have implants that are due for maintenance, please call us.
Dental Implants
A dental implant replaces a lost tooth with a porcelain crown (the white part of the tooth) that is anchored to a titanium post. This post substitutes for the root of the tooth that was lost. When the titanium post is placed in the bone of the jaw, it bonds strongly with the bone and anchors the crown securely. It’s a permanent solution that looks and feels like a natural tooth.
Implant-Supported Bridges and Dentures
For patients who have lost a few adjacent teeth, dental implants provide excellent support for a durable porcelain bridge. And when complete dentures are needed, they can be supported by carefully placed dental implants.
Because these dentures rest securely on the implants and not on the gums, they are more comfortable and do not create sore areas on the gums. These dentures will not loosen or shift and require no dietary restrictions.
Additionally, implant-supported dentures and bridges provide healthy stimulation to the jaw; conventional bridges and dentures do not.
