THE MAGIC OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

Unlock Your Best Smile

BY DR. RHONDA KALASHO, DDS, FOUNDER OF TRUGLO MODERN DENTAL

As the owner and founder of TruGLO Modern Dental, a premier membership dental office with locations in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and Calabasas, I'm thrilled to share insights on one of the most transformative dental treatments available today: dental implants. At our clinics, we place and restore hundreds of implants each year, helping our patients regain not only their smiles but also their confidence and quality of life.

WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?

A dental implant is a titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root. It is surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line, providing a strong foundation for a replacement tooth or bridge. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support, making them a standalone solution that mimics the natural tooth structure.

WHY ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS USED?

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They are used for several reasons:

  1. Single Tooth Replacement: If you've lost a single tooth due to injury, decay, or any other reason, a dental implant can replace it without affecting the adjacent teeth. This single-tooth solution looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.

  2. Multiple Teeth Replacement: For those missing multiple teeth, implants can support bridges or partial dentures. This approach not only restores functionality but also prevents the remaining teeth from shifting.

  3. Full Mouth Restoration: In cases where all teeth are lost, dental implants can be used to support a full set of dentures. This method, known as implant-supported dentures, provides unparalleled stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.

THE ROLE OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IN IMPLANT DENTISTRY

At TruGLO Modern Dental, we leverage state-of-the-art technology to ensure precision and comfort in every implant procedure:

  • CBCT Scans: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans offer 3D imaging of the jawbone, allowing us to plan the implant placement with remarkable accuracy. This technology ensures that the implants are positioned optimally, avoiding critical structures like nerves and sinuses.

  • 5D Scanners: Our 5D scanners provide high-definition images and detailed impressions of the mouth, enhancing the customization and fitting of dental restorations.

  • 3D Printing: We use 3D printing technology to create precise surgical guides and custom restorations. This cutting-edge approach reduces chair time and enhances the accuracy of the implant placement and the final prosthetics.

THE BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

The benefits of dental implants extend far beyond aesthetics. They are incredibly durable and can last a lifetime with proper care. Implants fuse with the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure. This makes them a vital solution for maintaining overall oral health and functionality.

For patients who have lost all their teeth, dental implants can dramatically improve their quality of life. They provide the stability needed for chewing, speaking, and smiling confidently. Unlike traditional dentures, which can slip or cause discomfort, implant-supported dentures remain secure, enhancing comfort and function.

CONCLUSION

At TruGLO Modern Dental, we are passionate about helping our patients achieve their best smiles. Dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacement, making it possible to restore single teeth or entire arches with a solution that looks and feels natural. With our advanced technology and expertise, we ensure that each patient receives personalized, high-quality care. Losing a tooth—or even all your teeth—no longer means the end of the world. With dental implants, you can unlock your best smile and enjoy a renewed sense of confidence and well-being.
