Are Cosmetic Dental Implants Good for My Smile?
Whether you’ve lost one tooth or many, tooth loss will impact the quality of your smile. At Newport Smiles in Newport Beach, California, we can make your smile complete again with cosmetic dental implants. Implant restorations are attractive, functional, and enduring – everything you want in replacement teeth. As implant surgery is no small thing, no doubt you have questions about this treatment. Dr. Aarti Puri provides the answers you seek here.
What are cosmetic implants?
Implants are small, titanium or ceramic screws used to support artificial teeth when natural teeth go missing. They’re placed in your upper or lower jaw (or both) surgically to fuse with surrounding bone tissue and take the place of lost tooth roots. When the implants heal, Dr. Puri will use them as anchors for your new teeth.
Are cosmetic dental implants good for my smile?
With implants, you not only get new teeth, but new tooth roots to anchor your new smile, keeping it secure and stable for life! Implant restorations are custom-crafted to appear authentic and pleasing. Porcelain crowns are generally used with single implants. Dr. Puri can create an implant bridge to replace multiple missing teeth in a row. Implant dentures will restore your smile if all your teeth have to be removed. Implant restorations look and feel real. They have the stability of natural teeth for biting and chewing, making eating a joy again. Implants also regenerate your jaw to keep it healthy and strong.
What are the advantages of implant dentures over traditional dentures?
Traditional dentures sit on your gums and use suction and adhesives for support. Implant teeth are anchored in place by implants that are a permanent part of your jaw.
Whereas traditional dentures can slip or shift in your mouth when you talk or chew, implant dentures never come loose. They’re as secure and stable as natural teeth.
Implants stimulate bone growth to prevent bone loss, something traditional dentures can’t do.
Traditional dentures are removed nightly for soaking and cleaning. Implant dentures stay permanently in your mouth and are brushed and flossed like real teeth.
The authentic appearance, functionality, durability, and longevity of implant dentures set them apart as a superior tooth replacement treatment.

Does it hurt to get implants?
No, implant surgery isn’t painful as the procedure is done with anesthesia. Many of our patients opt for sedation as well to have a comfortable, stress-free treatment.
How long do dental implants last?
Titanium implants can last for life if you take good care of your teeth. Quality restorations have been known to last over 20 years. Although implants are impervious to decay, the gum tissues around your implants can become infected if not cared for properly. That’s why observing good oral hygiene habits and seeing Dr. Puri regularly for routine cleanings is important.
