Getting a Tooth Implant
Learn the simple process of replacing your tooth with dental implants in Westlake Village
When you visit our office for dental implants in Westlake Village, we will handle your procedure from start to finish, including the bone grafting. We have a periodontist in-house who handles everything from gum grafts to implants. In order to replace your missing tooth, a small post made of titanium is placed into the socket where your tooth used to be and secured. Once your implant is bonded to the jawbone, an abutment, or connector, is added to the post to hold your new tooth. Then, making a model of your bite creates your new tooth, or dental crown. The crown will be molded and attached to the abutment. The color of your entire dental implant will be made to match the color of your natural teeth to make it as unnoticeable as possible. If you have a missing tooth and would like to see if dental implants in Westlake Village are for you, call us at (805) 495-7212 today.

“It’s like getting your teeth back.”
“I had some teeth pulled on the bottom, and I had three implants. He did my implants after my dentures. I said I don’t have any teeth on the bottom, and he said I can do implants. It’s like getting brand new teeth, it’s like getting your teeth back, the ones that you lost. They actually look better than your teeth; they’re so nice. I love my implants. The best part was not having the pain you’d think about when you’re getting a screw coming all the way through. I didn’t feel anything, I’m telling you, not a thing. When they were all done, I was like, Wow, they look amazing, they look really good.”

Implants, Bridges, or Dentures: Which One Is Right For Me?
Find out if you need a tooth implant in Westlake Village or another service
If you have missing teeth, then there are several options available for you to choose from when it comes to replacing those teeth. Dental implants in Westlake Village are a great option for those who have one or a few missing teeth that need replacing. They are also a more permanent and safer solution when compared to others. You may have heard of dental bridges, which used to be a more common way of replacing missing teeth. Bridges require the use of the two adjacent teeth to support a new replacement tooth. This method has its disadvantages because it puts the adjacent teeth at risk for other oral
health problems, such as fractures and tooth decay. Dentures are another teeth replacement option that is available in partial or complete sets. If you are missing just one tooth, then dentures probably are not for you. However, if you are missing a few teeth, partial dentures are a good option. Complete dentures are for replacing your full set of teeth.
