Sep 05, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Dr. Gregory Sawyer, cosmetic and dental implants dentist in Los Gatos, CA is now offering free consultations for adult patients with missing teeth who are interested in permanent dental implants. During the consultation, Dr. Sawyer and his staff will assess if a patient is a candidate for dental implants and how they can be used to improve their smile and oral health.
Using permanent dental implants to fill the void of permanent missing teeth, Dr. Sawyer is able to give patients an alternative that looks just like a natural tooth, and also feels and performs just as their natural tooth did. Dr. Sawyer and his staff encourage any adult in the Los Gatos area who has experienced the loss of one or multiple teeth to take advantage of the free consultation to at least learn how dental implants can benefit their lives.
“Dental implants truly are the absolute best option we can offer for patients who have experienced tooth loss,” said Dr. Sawyer. “Not only do implants provide a more natural look, but their health benefits and overall function are superior to all other options that can be considered to compensate for tooth loss. In fact, in some cases, the implant performs and looks even better than the patient’s natural tooth did before tooth loss.”
Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth as well as multiple missing teeth. For denture patients who are candidates, dental implants can also replace entire top and bottom arches of missing teeth. Unlike bridges and partial dentures, dental implants help keep the bone density and gums intact in the surrounding area of the missing tooth.
The dental implants procedure is completed surgically. Dr. Sawyer makes an incision in the gum and inserts the implant, which is a small titanium stud or screw, into the jawbone. As the implant heals over the course of several weeks, it fuses with the surrounding bone and mimics the function of a natural tooth root. After the healing process is completed, Dr. Sawyer then attaches an artificial porcelain crown to the implant that has been customized to be the size, shape, and shade that the patient prefers.
With dental implants, patients can treat their new prosthetic teeth just as they would natural teeth. They are free to eat whatever they please and can brush and floss their implants like normal teeth as well.
Dr. Gregory Sawyer has more than 40 years of experience as a practicing dental professional. In addition to his formal dental degree completed at the University of Southern California, Dr. Sawyer has completed thousands of hours of continuing education courses, and also travels the world to lecture other dentists about dental implants. He is a consultant to Suni Imagining Microsystems, a leading manufacturer of digital X-ray sensors for dental offices, and is a member of several other professional dental associations.
