Replacing missing teeth is crucial not just for the aesthetics of your smile, but also for maintaining your oral health and overall well-being. When you have gaps in your smile, the jawbone can begin to shrink, and surrounding teeth can shift, leading to bite problems. Fortunately, dental implants offer a permanent, state-of-the-art solution to this common issue. If you’re exploring options for dental implants in Burbank, CA, understanding how they can permanently restore your smile is the first step. BB Dental Care provides expert services in evaluating your needs and planning your implant treatment.
A dental implant is a sophisticated prosthetic that replaces the entire missing tooth, from root to crown. It consists of three parts: a medical-grade titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, a connector piece called an abutment, and a custom-made dental crown. The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time—a process called osseointegration. This creates an incredibly strong and stable foundation for the final crown, mimicking the function of a natural tooth.
Dental implants are widely considered the gold-standard solution for several reasons. Unlike other options, an implant is a standalone restoration that does not rely on neighboring teeth for support. This means healthy adjacent teeth do not need to be altered or ground down. Furthermore, because the implant post acts as a new root, it stimulates the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that naturally occurs when a tooth is missing. This helps preserve your facial structure and oral health for a lifetime.
The process of getting a dental implant typically takes place over several months to ensure a successful, long-lasting result. It begins with a comprehensive consultation at BB Dental Care, which includes 3D imaging to assess your jawbone density and plan the precise placement. The first procedure involves surgically placing the titanium implant post into the jawbone. A healing period of several months follows, allowing the implant to fully integrate with your bone.
Once osseointegration is complete, you will return to BB Dental Care to finish the restoration. The abutment is attached to the implant post, and impressions of your mouth are taken. These impressions are used by a dental laboratory to meticulously craft your custom-designed crown to perfectly match the color and shape of your existing teeth. At your final appointment, this new crown is securely attached to the abutment, completing your new, permanent tooth.
Choosing dental implants to replace missing teeth is an excellent investment in your long-term oral health and self-confidence. They provide the most stable, functional, and aesthetic solution available, restoring your ability to chew and speak with ease. If you’re in need of tooth replacement and seeking dental implants in Burbank, CA, look no further than BB Dental Care. Schedule a consultation today to explore how a dental implant can help you achieve a complete and healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.

Frequently asked questions
Considering dental implants with BB Dental Care? Here are some common questions patients ask about this service.
Still have questions, reach out and we can answer your questions:
What is a dental bridge, and when would I need one from BB Dental Care?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap between your remaining teeth or dental implants. At BB Dental Care, a bridge might be recommended if you have missing teeth that are affecting your ability to chew, speak, or if you want to prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
What types of dental bridges does BB Dental Care offer?
BB Dental Care offers different types of dental bridges to suit various patient needs. The most common type is a traditional bridge, which is anchored by crowns placed on the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Other options may include cantilever bridges, Maryland bonded bridges, or implant-supported bridges, depending on your specific oral health situation. Your dentist at BB Dental Care will determine the best type for you.
What is the process like for getting a dental bridge at BB Dental Care?
Getting a dental bridge at BB Dental Care typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, the teeth that will support the bridge are prepared, and impressions are taken. These impressions are sent to a dental lab to create your custom bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed in the interim. At the second appointment, your permanent bridge is fitted, adjusted for a comfortable bite, and then permanently cemented into place by your BB Dental Care dentist.
How should I properly care for my dental bridge after it’s placed by BB Dental Care?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for the longevity of your dental bridge. BB Dental Care will instruct you on how to clean effectively around and under the bridge to prevent plaque and bacteria buildup. This often involves using special tools like floss threaders or interdental brushes in addition to regular brushing and flossing. Regular checkups and cleanings at BB Dental Care are also crucial for monitoring the health of your bridge and surrounding teeth.
How long can I expect my dental bridge from BB Dental Care to last?
With proper care and regular dental checkups at BB Dental Care, dental bridges can last for many years. The lifespan of a bridge can vary depending on the type of bridge, the materials used, your oral hygiene habits, and the health of the supporting teeth or implants. Your BB Dental Care team will provide guidance on how to maximize the lifespan of your specific bridge.
