Dr. Vanila Choudhry • March 14, 2023

When teeth are decayed or diseased due to cavities or other reasons, it must be extracted to preserve the persons oral and overall health. Following a tooth extraction, patients should get treated with dental implants in Irvine, CA.

What Are The Benefits Of Getting Treated With Dental Implants In Irvine, CA, After A Tooth Extraction?


When people replace their extracted teeth with dental implants, they can resume a normal diet, speak with comfort, and smile in confidence with their stable and secure new smile. Dental implants are able to benefit a patient’s smile because of the components they are made up of. Specifically, dental implants are made up of three main components:


Dental Implant Post:

The dental implant post is made to function like a natural tooth root. It is typically made from the biocompatible material, titanium. When the dental implant post is placed in the patient’s jawbone, it fuses with it to give them a permanent new smile.


Abutment:

The abutment is used to connect the dental implant post to the prosthesis.


Crown/ Prosthesis:

The crown or prosthesis is the visible part of the dental implant in the patient’s mouth. The crown or prosthesis can be custom designed to look like the patient’s natural teeth. 

While getting problematic teeth extracted may make it hard for people to resume their normal activities, dental implants are a reliable solution that they can count on to restore the look, functionality, and health of their smile.
