Feb 15, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Dr. Richard E. Sprague, implant dentist in Beverly Hills, CA, is offering denture wearers a better alternative for a permanent smile with implant restorations. Designed to mimic the structure of a natural tooth, implant restorations are able to restore full biting force for the patient while offering a great-looking smile for a lifetime.
It is estimated that approximately 20 million Americans rely on dentures or partial dentures for daily function like chewing and proper speaking. Although dentures restore partial function of missing teeth, they still restrict biting force and oftentimes cause pain and discomfort due to an improper or loose fit. With dental implants, patients can get a permanent smile that is as near-natural as possible.
“Implant restorations are the best alternative for our patients who have experienced tooth loss or currently have failing teeth,” said Dr. Richard E. Sprague, dental implants dentist in Beverly Hills, CA. “This procedure really helps give them a part of their life back and produces a smile that is oftentimes better than the one they had before losing teeth.”
Implant restorations can be used effectively to replace a single missing tooth, a series of teeth, or entire top and bottom arches of teeth, depending on the needs of the patient. The implant consists of a small titanium stud that is implanted in the jaw bone and a custom porcelain crown attached to it. The titanium stud, or screw, is first surgically inserted in the jaw bone of the patient and given 2-6 months to fuse to the bone. Once the process is completed, it acts as an anchor for an artificial porcelain tooth. In its completed state, an implant restoration provides just as much biting force as a natural tooth and looks near-identical to its natural counterpart.
In addition to dental implants, Dr. Sprague provides patients with a variety of other dental services. He is a trained TMJ dentist in Beverly Hills, CA for patients struggling with jaw and facial pain. Dr. Sprague is also a skilled sedation dentist in Beverly Hills, CA and provides emergency dentistry for those seeking care outside of standard business hours.

After completing his dental degree, he went on to receive a specialty degree in endodontics and is known for providing patients in the local area with the best implant restorations and root canal treatments the industry has to offer.
