Your Options for Dental Implants for Missing Teeth
Many people in Chino Hills, California, and elsewhere were born with beautiful natural smiles, but life can take a toll on our teeth as we age. Even if you practice excellent oral hygiene, you can still experience staining from foods and beverages, decay, accidents, or injuries that could cause tooth loss.
Modern dental technology allows many options to replace missing teeth, and dental implants are the most popular.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of a titanium post that replaces a tooth’s root. These posts are implanted directly into the jawbone and can be used to replace one tooth or several teeth.
When the titanium screws are set into the jawbone, the dentist then attaches a porcelain crown to the screw. Best of all, dental implants can be used to support dental prostheses, including dentures, bridges, and crowns.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
It’s important to replace missing teeth because, without doing so, it can affect your remaining teeth and even the bones in your jaw. Here are some of the benefits of dental implants.
- Bone loss prevention: When you lose one or more teeth, the bone mass in your jaw is impacted.
- Matched perfectly to your natural teeth: Dental implant crowns are shaped and colored to match the surrounding teeth perfectly.
- No cavities or decay in implant teeth: You still have to practice good dental hygiene with dental implants, but implants can’t get cavities.
- Restored bite force: The tooth root is replaced when you get dental implants, so you have a restored bite force.

Success Stories
Hi, my name is John Arslane. I’m a new patient for Dr. Shah but I’d like to give you my first impressions. First of all, the technology is unbelievable here. It all started off with registering online, the photography, there’s X-rays, everything is paperless, and I was very, very impressed with the technology and the state of art. More impressive, however, is Dr. Shah himself. He takes the time to talk to you as a person in laymen terms, explains everything, and trains you. I’ve been brushing my teeth for 72 years and I just realized today that I’ve never done it the right way; I learned today from Dr. Shah. So, my first impressions are awesome.
My name is Marlow and this is my very first visit to Dr. Shah’s office. I came in for a tooth whitening and I couldn’t have been more impressed with the staff and all of the new technology. And I found this whole experience to be absolutely amazing and wonderful. I couldn’t believe the nice leather seats and the TV while I was having my cleaning done and I’m actually looking forward to coming back to the dentist.
