Finding A Solution With Dental Implants

Older Potter Santa Monica CAIf you have recently had a tooth extraction, or if you are facing the possibility of one in the near future, your prosthodontic replacement solution is a pivotal next step in your dental journey. Having a missing tooth can lead to anxiety and social discomfort, before any discussion of your smile’s functionality. The loss of a valuable part of your bite can also pose lasting issues with the health of your dentistry going forward, so speak with your team about your options.

One solution that is becoming more popular by the day is the placement of a new dental implant. This process uses a durable titanium rod to serve as a post for a permanent prosthetic tooth, which can be changed out for a larger solution, if you should lose more teeth in the future. An implant approach also builds its stability from an unparalleled connection to the jaw, unlike other appliance-based restorative treatments. Speak with your team at Santa Monica Dental Arts in Santa Monica, CA and learn more about the ways that dental implants could help you to smile with pride! (more…)

A Brighter Smile In A Flash

Alignment Treatment For Daily Improvement

Blue BG SMCAOne of the most common dental concerns is smile alignment. Where your teeth rest on your oral ridge can have serious cosmetic and medical implications. Firstly, a smile with crooked teeth and gaps can pose as an unnecessary roadblock in your social and professional life. If there is an available solution to improve your look, why wait in seeking treatment?

Secondly, misalignment can lead to major dental concerns, particularly in the development of troublesome bacterial buildup. When the teeth overlap or crowd, they form areas that are difficult or practically impossible for you to clean. These tiny microorganisms produce acidic waste that leads to the loss of the durable outer surface of the tooth. Maximize your ability to keep your existing teeth safe from bacterial infection by placing them in their proper location in your mouth. We proudly offer Invisalign® therapy at Santa Monica Dental Arts in Santa Monica, CA to help you improve your look. These slim aligners are nearly invisible and can revive your dental wellbeing!
