West Hollywood Dentist Offers Dental Implants for the Replacement of Missing Teeth

LOS ANGELES, CA, September 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) No one wants to lose a tooth, but when the unthinkable does happen, Dr. Shervin Louie, West Hollywood dentist, is available to help. With advancements in dentistry, patients can now have missing teeth replaced with dental implants for a restored smile. With the aide of Dr. Louie, patients can continue to smile all year long without worrying about a missing tooth, or teeth.

Los Angeles dental implants successfully restore patients' smiles for an enjoyable fall and winter season. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically placed into the jaw in order to hold a replacement tooth-crown. Whether a patient has lost a tooth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason, a dental implant may be just what they need to restore the appearance and function of their smile this year.

"It is important that my patients maintain the ability to smile all year long, but when a tooth is missing that can often negatively affect their self-esteem. To help them smile confidently every day, I am excited to continue to offer dental implants for the successful replacement of their missing tooth, or teeth. I highly encourage anyone who is missing a tooth to visit my office so that we can take the next step toward a smile worth showing off," said Dr. Shervin Louie, Los Angeles emergency dentist.

Today, children, adults and seniors are all at risk for tooth loss, especially if proper oral hygiene is not maintained regularly. Although tooth loss can often be commonly associated with the elderly, research suggests that almost 27% of patients experience their first tooth loss between the ages of 21 and 30. Dr. Shervin Louie, LA dentist, urges his patients to maintain healthy smiles by maintaining proper oral hygiene regimens and visiting his office at least twice a year to avoid losing a tooth, or multiple teeth.

A dental implant (artificial tooth root) is surgically anchored into a patient's jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. The use of dental implants allows Dr. Louie, Los Angeles dentist, to avoid the need to rely on neighboring teeth for support, which makes them permanent and stable. Dental implants are also a good solution for replacing missing teeth because they look and feel like natural teeth as they can be made from an array of materials, including metallic and bone-like ceramics that are compatible with body tissue.

Dr. Shervin Louie continues to strive to offer the best treatment options for his patients, which can be further seen through the availability of dental implants for the replacement of missing teeth. Dr. Louie encourages his patients to continue to seek regular care from his Hollywood dentistry, especially when teeth are missing.
