Introduction to Implant Series
Hello, Dental Implant Fans! We have started a new series about Dental Implants, where pointed questions from actual patients are answered regarding anything you ever wondered about implants. Have you ever wanted to ask a question but never had time to see a dentist to get your answers? If so, this is your opportunity to get your questions answered. Please, do not hesitate to ask a question you have an interest in knowing/understanding.
Normally when you think of dental implants, a picture of a cosmetic surgeon pops into your mind, with the idea that something is going to be modified—or, in most cases, enlarged in size. However, in dentistry, implants are not designed to change the size per se or enlarge something lacking in size or shape. Most dental implants are done to restore lost function or aesthetics. For example, if you’re missing a front tooth, is that a cosmetic thing? Well, it can be both! In some social groups, it would be considered socially unacceptable. It’s both a cosmetic and functional issue that can restore your self-esteem and ability to speak and eat properly. For more information or to schedule an appointment, give us a call at (619) 444-1001 or click here to schedule an appointment. We are located at 707 Arnele Avenue, El Cajon, CA, 92020.
