Dental implants from Dr. Bill Dorfman DDS in Century City support teeth so lifelike, that patients have been known to forget some of their teeth aren’t real. That’s now natural for their look and function.

Those simple facts make most people choose dental implants if they need to replace one or more of their teeth. Then, they learn that in addition to those benefits, implants can actually preserve and promote healthy bone mass in their jaws.

Dental Implants and Bone Loss

An unfortunate consequence of losing teeth is that the surrounding bone begins to atrophy. This begins almost immediately and is usually noticeable within a year or so. The person’s face takes on a shrunken or sagging appearance. The more teeth that are missing, the more pronounced it is.

This happens because of the missing tooth root. However dental implants mimic the root because they are physically attached to the jaw. The natural biting and chewing motions stimulate the bone and encourage new tissue to grow around the implant.

One dental implant can support one artificial tooth, and several can support a bridge and even a full dental arch. At Dr. Bill Dorfman DDS in Century City, we have placed them in patients from Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and Los Angeles. They also come to us for general and cosmetic dentistry. Contact us today!
