From chewing problems to issues\r\nof decay and disease, the state of your mouth is something that should not be\r\nignored. At the office of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidkaodds.com\/\">Dr. Kao<\/a>, we care about the health of your\r\nteeth as it can affect the rest of your physical health. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidkaodds.com\/dental-implants\">Dental implants\r\nin downtown Los Angeles<\/a> may be a viable solution for your failing teeth.\r\nThis procedure has the highest success rate of any dental procedure, and it can\r\nalso restore full functionality and health to your mouth. If you\u2019re ready to\r\ndiscover what it\u2019s like to eat, chew, and smile in peace, while having your\r\nconfidence restored, read on to find out if you are a likely candidate for\r\ndental implants. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Dental Implants<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before understanding if you are a good\r\ncandidate for dental implants in downtown Los Angeles, it\u2019s important to\r\ndiscover what they are, and how they different from dentures or bridges, for\r\nexample. Dental implants are tooth replacements that look and feel like real\r\nteeth. They are permanent, as they are affixed to the bone mass of your jaw via\r\nsurgery. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Most implants are fashioned out of titanium,\r\nwhich is compatible with your mouth. They can work to fill in just one missing\r\ntooth, or many. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is the Ideal Candidate?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>An ideal candidate for dental implants would\r\nwant to have enough bone mass in the jaw to be able to support the implant once\r\nit\u2019s fixed in. Plus, it is preferred for a candidate to have good gum health at\r\nthe time of the surgery. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Other criteria for candidacy at the office of\r\nDr. Kao include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>General good health<\/li><li>One or more missing or broken\r\nteeth that need repair<\/li><li>Ample jaw space<\/li><li>Good gum conditions<\/li><li>Able to undergo surgery <\/li><li>General adult age <\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Implants are not recommended for children.\r\nHowever, special cases can be made in the event of major tooth trauma, loss, or\r\ndecay. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Knowing whether or not you are an ideal\r\ncandidate for dental implants in downtown Los Angeles can help you plan for the\r\nfuture. If your daily life has suffered due to your inability to properly eat,\r\nchew, breathe, smile, or even rest on your face, then it\u2019s time you scheduled a\r\nconsultation for this much-needed procedure. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Dental Implants Available<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Typically, patients have several different\r\noptions when it comes to dental implants. There are actually different types of\r\nimplants available depending on your specific needs. Dental implant replacement\r\ncan replace one tooth or multiple teeth. In fact, it can even replace the\r\nentire mouth if there is a need for it. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Our cost-effective dental implants solutions\r\nuse graftless technology so that we don\u2019t need to take bone from anywhere else.\r\nThey are placed on screws which are inserted into the jaw bone, and then they\r\nwill be fixed to your gums and your mouth permanently. Remember to treat them\r\nlike you would your natural teeth &#8211; brushing, flossing, and rinsing go a long\r\nway!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule an Appointment With Dr. Kao<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you are in need of dental implants, or any\r\nkind of restorative dentistry procedure, it\u2019s imperative that you get in touch\r\nwith us right away.
