Dentist near Lemoore, CA, offers dental implants as an alternative to dentures

Having a healthy and beautiful smile is sometimes about more than just brushing or flossing. Patients occasionally lose teeth due to aging, trauma to the mouth, or gum disease. When a tooth is lost, the effect on a person's smile can be significant.

Patients often resort to dentures to replace a missing tooth, or even several teeth. However, dentures can be uncomfortable, they can slip, patients can have trouble eating certain foods, and they can make speaking difficult at first. Patients who live near Lemoore, CA, have a different option with Dr. Nikunj Raiyani.

Dental implants are another choice for replacing missing teeth. One of the biggest advantages of implants is that they are permanent. During an implant procedure, the tooth roots are replaced with a small titanium post. The bone then grows around that post, which provides support for an artificial tooth. With the right care at home – brushing, flossing and avoiding unhealthy habits – the replacement can last a lifetime.

Another advantage of dental implants is that while replacing the missing tooth, the surrounding teeth are left alone. During some other procedures, such as bridges, the surrounding teeth need to be modified to allow the new restoration to fit.

Finally, because the new tooth is created just for you, it is designed to have the same shade and shape as your original teeth. The new tooth will feel, look, and be used exactly like your natural teeth. No one will be able to tell that have an implant.

The dental implant procedure can require several visits to Dr. Raiyani over the course of a few months. However, most patients find the procedure to be painless. Dr. Raiyani will ensure that you are comfortable and will use local anesthesia so that you don't feel a thing.

Dr. Raiyani is a dentist who takes the health of your mouth and the appearance of your smile seriously. He works closely with you to develop the right treatment plan and to have you on your way to a healthier mouth and more beautiful smile. Dr. Raiyani has a wealth of dental implant experience and will be with you every step of the way. Call today to discuss your oral health concerns and find out if an implant might be right for you.
