Ask if Dental Implants at South Bay Dentistry are the Right Option for You
You can replace a missing tooth or teeth with a permanent dental implant. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that’s placed into your jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over time. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a permanent replacement tooth is attached and the artificial tooth looks and feels just like a natural tooth.
Missing teeth can cause gaps in your smile. Not only do these gaps affect how your smile looks, but they also affect the rest of your facial structure. If you don’t fill in these gaps with a dental bridge, they can actually cause your upper and lower jaws to shift out of alignment.
South Bay Dentistry is currently accepting new patients and offers a wide selection of dental services. South Bay Dentistry has two dental implant specialists, an oral surgeon, periodontist Dr. Fayngor and Dr. Manukyan to the Gardena and Inglewood area.

Why Dental Implants?
Traditionally, a removable prosthesis or affixed bridge were the only options that were available to fill in the “gap” of a missing tooth. Now there are great new dental implants that can be placed after the extraction of your tooth and a short healing period, you can have an implant that will feel and look just like your other teeth. Implants are more stable and last longer than dental bridges. They also reduce the risk of gum disease.

FAQs Related to Dental Cleaning
A dental implant is a metal post that is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gums. Once in place, it allows your dentist to securely attach a replacement tooth or teeth. Dental implants are an ideal option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons.
Dental implants are often considered the best solution for missing teeth because they provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. In addition, dental implants can help preserve the jawbone and prevent the bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing.
The procedure involves placing a titanium metal rod into the jawbone where the tooth is missing. This metal rod fuses with the bone over time and provides a strong foundation for a new tooth. Once the metal rod has fused with the bone, a new tooth can be placed on top of it. Dental implants are very strong and durable, and they can last a lifetime with proper care.
Yes, dental implants are safe. The procedure has a very high success rate and is considered one of the safest and most effective ways to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium, a biocompatible metal that is accepted by the body. This means that there is no risk of rejection or allergic reaction.
The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, so there is minimal discomfort.
Recovery time is usually quick, and most people can return to their normal activities within a few days.
