Missing teeth affect more than just your appearance; they make eating difficult, cause jawbone deterioration, and impact your confidence every time you smile. At Dental Plus Tarzana, we restore missing teeth with dental implants that look, feel, and function exactly like natural teeth, giving you back the complete, healthy smile you deserve.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with your bone, a custom crown is attached to the implant, creating a complete tooth replacement that's as strong and functional as your natural teeth. The implant itself serves as an artificial tooth root, providing stable support for the replacement tooth while stimulating your jawbone to prevent bone loss.
Dental implant success depends on precise surgical placement, careful treatment planning, and experienced hands—which is exactly what you'll find at Dental Plus Tarzana. Our dental team has extensive training in implant dentistry and uses advanced 3D imaging technology to plan your implant placement with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring optimal results and long-term success.
We take a comprehensive approach to implant treatment, thoroughly evaluating your jawbone health, medical history, and specific needs before recommending treatment. If you need bone grafting or other preparatory procedures, we'll explain why they're necessary and how they improve your final results. We coordinate every aspect of your care, from initial consultation through final crown placement, so you experience seamless treatment and exceptional outcomes.
Patients choose Dental Plus Tarzana not just for the quality of care, but for the way they're treated. Our team is known for a gentle approach, clear communication, and dedication to patient comfort. With a reputation for honest recommendations and exceptional results, we've earned the trust of families throughout Los Angeles. Whether you need a routine cleaning or advanced dental implants, you can count on caring, capable hands at every visit.
Dental implants can last 25+ years or even a lifetime with proper care, including good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself typically remains stable for life.
Most adults with missing teeth are candidates for implants if they have adequate jawbone density and healthy gums. Factors that may affect candidacy include uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, certain medications, or insufficient bone volume (which can often be corrected with bone grafting).
Dental implants are permanent, surgically placed tooth roots that support individual crowns or implant-supported dentures, while traditional dentures are removable appliances that rest on your gums. Implants provide superior stability, preserve jawbone, and feel like natural teeth, while dentures can slip, require adhesives, and don't prevent bone loss.
