LOS ANGELES, CA, March 27, 2013 (Press-News.org) Dr. Bijan Afar, experienced Los Angeles dentist, offers many tooth replacement options to restore the health, function and beauty of smiles. Missing teeth can seriously compromise the beauty of a smile and increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. When even one tooth is lost, the remaining teeth must compensate for that loss. They may begin to shift into the space left behind, which can leave gaps that can be difficult to clean. The space left by a lost tooth can also be unsightly and can affect a person's self-confidence.
Dental implants are one of the healthiest options. They replace not just the tooth but also the root of the lost tooth. This can help prevent the loss of bone density in the jaw that often accompanies tooth loss. It also provides a strong, sturdy foundation for the prosthetic tooth. Dr. Bijan Afar, Los Angeles dental implants specialist, can help patients determine their eligibility for implants. Most people who are healthy enough to undergo dental surgery will also be healthy enough for the implant procedure. In some cases, bone or tissue grafts may be necessary before implants can be placed.
Dental bridges and crowns are another option. A dental bridge spans the missing tooth and is supported by dental crowns, which are placed on teeth adjacent to the gap. Those who are missing all their teeth or an entire arch of teeth may instead choose dentures. Both dental bridges and dentures can also be supported by dental implants.
Los Angeles dental veneers expert, Dr. Afar also offers many other treatments that can help patients put their best smiles forward. Teeth whitening, porcelain veneers and Lumineers can all be used to brighten teeth and improve the overall appearance of a smile.
