You already know that a healthy smile is essential for both your oral health and your confidence. If you’re suffering from broken, cracked or missing teeth, modern dentistry offers some advanced solutions for restoration. As an oral surgeon who offers dental implants, Dr. Andres F. Herrera can recommend a comprehensive plan customized to meet your needs.

Understand Key Benefits of Dental Restoration

Damaged or absent teeth contribute to a few major maladies that go far beyond simple embarrassment. If left untreated, they can lead to a whole host of problems such as impaired chewing ability and bone loss as well as changes in your facial shape and structure. However, dental implants can correct these issues and provide you with several advantages:

  • Better mastication
  • Enhanced facial structure
  • A natural-looking smile
  • Improved speech capabilities
  • Restored self-esteem

Keep That New Smile Looking Great

Because dental implants are permanent fixtures in your mouth, they function the same way as your real teeth. Dr. Herrera places a strong emphasis on aftercare to ensure that you’ll enjoy benefits for a long time. Typical post-procedure instructions may include:

  • Not rinsing, spitting, or drinking through a straw
  • Taking pain medication and antibiotics as instructed
  • Consuming cool liquids and soft foods
  • Steering clear of strenuous activity for 3-4 days
  • Avoiding tobacco use if possible

Optimal aftercare for your new implants includes proper dental hygiene practiced at home. While this usually incorporates regular brushing and flossing, Dr. Herrera will suggest a specific regimen. This not only ensures that your implants last a long time but also aids your existing natural teeth in remaining healthy.

Schedule an Appointment 

From the initial consultation to post-procedure wellness, Dr. Herrera and his team of dental care professionals ensure no details are overlooked when providing you with first-class care. Don’t keep living with a broken smile. To find out if you’re a candidate for dental implants in Freedom, CA, contact Dr. Herrera’s office today.
