TOP TEETH: Dr. Garo Nazarian and Peachy Deegan talk about Dental Implants


What are Dental Implants? Whom You Know would like you to know!
Dental implants are titanium metal replacements for a “tooth root”. They are surgically implanted into the lower or upper jaw, and once allowed to osseo-integrate for two to sixth months, they are used to permanently anchor crowns, dentures, or bridges. Done correctly and with the right doctor, such as our favorite Dr. Garo Nazarian!, they will look and feel as good as your natural teeth. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. Although, they may seem “high tech” in their nature, they are actually more tooth salvaging then the traditional methods of bridgework, because they do not rely on the neighboring teeth for use as anchors or abutments. Find out from your primary care dentist if you are a candidate for dental implants. No matter how fabulous your outfit is, if you don't have a great smile you won't shine as brightly says Peachy Deegan!
