Tooth loss is incredibly common, and it can happen due to disease, decay, neglect, or even traumatic accidents. When you lose a tooth or have a tooth extracted, it is crucial to have that tooth replaced as quickly as possible. Dental implants represent the highest standard of care, restoring the form and function of your teeth while preserving a natural, healthy smile.
At Burbank Periodontics, we have a wealth of experience providing dental implants to our patients throughout the Burbank, CA area.
Dental Implants Are the Preferred Method of Tooth Replacement
Dental implants have surpassed dentures, bridges, and other modes of tooth replacement to become the gold standard of care. There are several reasons for this:
No other tooth replacement method is effective in preventing bone loss/atrophy.
Dental implants do not require healthy, adjacent teeth to be shaved down.
Dental implants boast a high long-term success rate and can potentially last a lifetime.
Benefits of Dental Implants
While numerous options are available for replacing missing teeth, dental implants offer several unique advantages.
Designed For High Success Rate
According to the available clinical research, dental implants have a long-term success rate of 95 percent, and this rate is far higher than any other form of tooth replacement. If you take care of your implants with careful brushing and flossing, addressing heavy bite forces, and routine dental cleaning visits, your implants should last a long time.
Preserves Bone and Facial Structures
Your jawbone requires constant stimulation from the tooth roots. When you lose those tooth roots, it can cause the bone to atrophy, which can, in turn, cause unwanted changes to your facial appearance. Dental implants provide the stimulation needed for healthy jaw growth, preventing these unwanted alterations to the structure of your face.
A Healthier Smile
Other methods of tooth replacement, including partial dentures and tooth-supported bridges, can damage your healthy teeth over time. With dental implants, there is no need to compromise the health of your surrounding teeth.
Natural Appearance
When you decide to get dental implants, your dentist will create artificial replacement teeth that closely replicate the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth. Dental implants allow you to enjoy a smile that looks natural and to continue enjoying all of your favorite foods.
Ceramic Zirconia Implants
Ceramic zirconia implants provide patients with an alternative to traditional titanium implants. These 100% metal-free, two-piece ceramic zirconia implants feature a cement-free internal connection. The white material enhances its visual appeal and mimics the look of natural teeth. With its high-quality construction and low inflammatory response, these implants offer a reliable ceramic implant solution. You can trust the team at Burbank Periodontics to provide optimal oral health outcomes and a confident smile.

Getting Started With A Consultation With Our Doctors
When you join us at Burbank Periodontics to discuss getting dental implants, we will begin the process with a consultation. During this appointment, your doctor will perform a full physical examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw. Additionally, your doctor will need to review your medical imaging, specifically a CT scan, which is taken with our cone beam CT scanner.
Based on this information, your doctor will let you know whether you are a good candidate for a successful dental implant procedure. Additionally, your doctor will tell you how many implants you need to achieve your functional and esthetic goals. Your doctor will also inform you about any additional procedures you require to prepare your mouth for implants. Common examples include bone grafting and tooth extraction.
Your consultation is an excellent time to raise any questions you may have about the dental implant process, recovery, and results.
