They can restore not only the functionality of teeth but can provide a great new look as well. Dental implants are a standard cosmetic dental option offered at SoCal Dental of Agoura.<\/p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">People tend to assume that the gap left behind after losing a permanent adult tooth can remain empty. The reality is that an exposed tooth socket faces the risk of infection, can cause  teeth to shift out of alignment, and can cause other issues as well. With a dental implant, we can help patients avoid those oral health issues We have the tools and skills necessary to provide patients with a customized dental implant to meet their specific needs.<\/p>\n<p>Dental implants can even help prevent facial structure from changing, providing the functionality needed to perform the same as before the original tooth was damaged. Supplementing them with a dental crown can also ensure that the dental implant looks perfectly natural along with your other teeth.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a sturdy, lasting, and discreet replacement tooth, then call us to learn more about our dental implant procedures today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><!-- \/.end intro text -->\n<!-- Contact Form -->\n<div class=\"col s12 m6 l4\">\n<div

teeth fall out, you may qualify for <em>dental implants<\/em> as a way to permanently replace the missing teeth. In order to find out, schedule an appointment with our Agoura Hills dentist office by calling <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental of Agoura at (818) 597-0100\" href=\"tel:+1-818-597-0100\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Formatted-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(818) 597-0100<\/a>. We will examine your mouth and jawbone to determine if the procedure is right for you. Before we begin the procedure, your gums need to be healthy, and your jawbone needs to be strong. If we identify any cavities or signs of gum disease, we will need to treat it prior to the dental implant procedure.<\/p>\n<a name=\"dental-implant-process\"><\/a>\n<p>Once you are cleared for the procedure, the staff at <a title=\"SoCal Dental of Agoura Dentist in Agoura Hills California\" href=\"https:\/\/www.familydentistry.com\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"DBA-Dental-Implants\">SoCal Dental of Agoura<\/a> will take an impression of your mouth to create a new tooth in a dental lab. Each synthetic tooth will match the size and shape of the surrounding teeth, along with having a perfect color match. This way your smile will appear completely natural once we complete the procedure. Many patients are satisfied with the results since no one can tell the difference between which teeth are real and which ones are synthetic.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"call-out bg-secondary\"><!-- Call-out block -->\n<p>Teeth restored with implants will not get cavities. A replacement tooth, or crown, does not decay like a natural tooth. However, you still need to brush, floss and care for it and your surrounding natural teeth in the same manner as natural teeth. Regular professional cleanings and dental checkups are also essential.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.call-out --><!-- \/Call-out block -->\n\n<a name=\"agoura-hills-ca-dental-implants\"><\/a>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Agoura Hills Dental Implants<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>The next step in the procedure is to implant a metal post under the gum line. This aspect of the procedure is what sets an implant apart from other forms of <a title=\"cosmetic dentistry Agoura Hills California\" href=https:\/\/www.familydentistry.com\/agoura-hills-ca\/cosmetic-dentist\/ class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CPIL-Cosmetic-Dentist\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a>. The metal post is secured to the jawbone in order to create a durable, synthetic root system that rivals the strength of natural roots; with one exception that the metal cannot face infection. Over the course of a couple of months, the metal post and jawbone will fuse together. This creates a level of durability that cannot be replicated in other types of procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, we will secure the new synthetic tooth to the metal post at the surface of the gums. The new tooth is attached so securely, that patients can eat their favorite foods, maintain an active lifestyle, play sports, and more, without fear of their tooth becoming loose or falling out. Patients can enjoy the benefits that come from never having to worry about their tooth again.<\/p>\n<p id=\"agoura-hills-ca-dental-implants\"> The team at SoCal Dental of Agoura provide <b>dental implants<\/b> in a way that is comfortable and functional. We take the time to make sure that every aspect of the procedure is completed correctly \u2013 the first time.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.col -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.row -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- \/sContent mute -->\n\n<div class=\"call-out center-align bg-secondary\"><!-- sContent-Yelp -->\n<p id=\"yelp-reviews-agoura-hills-ca\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"><\/i> Check out what others are saying about our implant services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Dental Implants Agoura Hills\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/socal-dental-of-agoura-agoura-hills\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Dental-Implants\">Dental Implants Agoura Hills<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.call-out --><!-- \/sContent-Yelp -->\n\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block\"><!-- sContent Background -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Caring for Dental Implants<\/h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<a name=\"dental-implant-care\"><\/a>\n<p>Once implants have been installed, they are extremely easy to care for. We hear patients throughout Agoura Hills ask questions that range from \"Do implants come out\" to \"How do I brush my teeth\". Fortunately, the answers are not as complex as some people might believe. Since we install dental implants by creating a synthetic root system, they are durable and secure. The dental implants will not fall out or become loose. This means you can go play basketball, run in a 10k marathon, and wrestle with your kids \u2013 without worrying about your tooth coming out.<\/p>\n<p>In order to care for your implants, we advise patients to brush and floss their teeth throughout the day like normal. Additionally, it is important to schedule dental exams and cleanings with Dr. Shamoeil, Dr. Aframian and Dr. Solouki at least twice a year. The staff at SoCal Dental of Agoura will help to clean your teeth and ensure that they stay healthy. While dental implants cannot become infected themselves, the teeth around them can. If, in the future, you suffer from a severe case of gum disease or a dental abscess, the infection can spread into your jawbone. This puts your implants in jeopardy because in order to stay secure, the jawbone must be in good health. If it becomes infected, your dental implants and all of your teeth will be in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>If you currently have implants and your teeth start to hurt, call <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental of Agoura at 818-597-0100\" href=\"tel:+1-818-597-0100\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Hyphens-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">818-597-0100<\/a> to schedule an appointment immediately. This way we can identify any infection and treat it before it can spread into the jawbone. As long as you follow these simple preventative care steps, your implants and natural teeth should remain in good health.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"call-out bg-secondary\"><!-- Call-out block -->\n<p>There is 40 years of data behind dental implants, with success rates of about 98 percent<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.call-out --><!-- \/Call-out block -->\n\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Consultation<\/h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"dental-implant-dentist-agoura-hills-ca\">In order to find out if implants are right for you, call <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental of Agoura at (818) 597-0100\" href=\"tel:+1-818-597-0100\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Formatted-2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(818) 597-0100<\/a>.

We find that it is generally much better not to attach implants to teeth. We frequently attach implants to each other, which can improve strength and works well. So in a case like this, although it may be more expensive in the short term to place two implants instead of one, the long-term success is likely to be much better with the two implants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> I lost my upper back teeth on one side and have gone for years without doing anything about it.

Could these problems be related to one another?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> In a large majority of people who are missing their upper back teeth for a long period of time, is the increasing downward growth of the maxillary sinus. At birth, it is the size of a pea and progressively grows as the skull matures. This growth is at the expense of the surrounding bone. If you are considering replacing those upper back teeth with fixed teeth that stay in all the time, it may be necessary to perform a sinus elevation procedure to allow room for placement of dental implants into this area to support those teeth. This involves placement of bone and\/or bone substitutes into an area which was previously occupied by the lower part of the maxillary sinus. Most importantly, this procedure increases the available bone use to place implants and restore the missing back teeth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> I've had dentures for several years and have lost a lot of jawbone. My lower dentures are floaters and I need help. Is there still hope for me?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> In most cases, with the new options available today in the field of dental implants, some form of treatment is possible. We encourage people to get help as soon as possible if they are already having some problems with their current situation. These problems include excessive use of denture adhesives, chewing only soft food, unable to taste some foods, constant mouth sores, unhappy with the appearance of one's teeth and bite position (in some cases the nose and chin getting closer together). The sooner we correct the problems with dental implants, the more choices one has available for treatment. If you have any or all of the above symptoms, implants can very well be the answer for you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> I am missing all of my teeth and am now wearing a full upper and lower denture. I can no longer tolerate my lowers. Will I need an implant for every tooth I am replacing on the lower jaw?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> It is not necessary to have an implant for every tooth that is being replaced. The number of implants necessary to provide support depends on the type of implants used and the type of teeth (removable vs. non- removable) that will be attached to the implants. A thorough oral exam and panoramic x-ray is all that is necessary in most cases, to determine which implant can be used and how many must be used. Sometimes additional X-rays or CT scans are used in more complicated cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> I consulted a dentist several years ago about using implants to replace my lower denture and he told me that I did not have adequate bone available to place enough in-the-bone implants without danger of fracturing my now fragile jawbone. Are there any alternatives?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> Because of the advances in the field of implantology, there are now more choices and techniques. It is rare for a person to not be able to receive an implant or a combination of implants. Today we have available many types of implants designed to accommodate multiple problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> I had a root canal on a tooth that fractured and now it has to be removed. Can it be replaced with an implant or do I have to have a bridge or a partial?<\/p>\n<p class=\"answers\"><span>A.<\/span> Teeth that have root canals can fracture more easily than other teeth because they are weaker and somewhat dehydrated. They can sometimes be as brittle as glass. In the past, the best available treatment was to remove the tooth and file down the adjacent teeth to make a bridge - caps on the adjacent teeth with an attached \"dummy\" tooth between. Sometimes this still is the only way. However, in many cases an implant can replace the fractured tooth and we will not need to grind down a tooth to at all.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.col -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.row -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- \/FAQ -->\n<div class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary\"><!-- sContent secondary -->\n<h5 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page<\/h5>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.<\/span> <a title=\"Q.
