You can’t drive a mile in LA without seeing a billboard about Dental Implants.  But what are they and are they really as good as teeth?  The answer is yes and no.  The bottom line, is that it is always better to take care of the set you have!!  Although Dental Implants have around a 95% success rate, in my opinion, there is nothing like keeping your own.  However due to periodontal disease, decay or teeth that break, dental implants give us the option to do a “Third Set”.  Through a process called “All on 4” or sometimes “All on X”, we can place between 4 to 6 implants and place a “bridge” called a Hybrid that is there permanently or sometimes dentures that snap in. Come in for a free consultation and 3D X-ray to see if Implants are right for you!
