Missing teeth? You’ve come to the right place.

About Dental Implants
69 percent of adults between ages 35 and 45 have lost at least one tooth due to gum disease, decay, or injury. This number only continues to rise as we age, and postponing treatment can jeopardize the health of your remaining teeth, so it is important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. Due to advances in dental implant technology, implants are now regarded as the preferred treatment for replacing missing teeth. Although dentures and fixed bridges are still commonly used, both present complications that make them less favorable long-term solutions.
Dr. Valentina Obradovic of Adriatic Dental is well-equipped to provide you with the missing teeth help you need. The Vista dental practice specializes in implant dentistry and Dr. Obradovic can help you identify the best treatment for your individual needs.
Your New Implants
Dental implants are unique in their natural compatibility with the body. Because they are constructed from titanium, implants are capable of integrating with your jaw bone once they are surgically placed there. Dentures and bridges are made from incompatible materials like cast metal, plastic, and acrylic, which can aggravate the gum tissue. Since implants are surgically embedded in the gums, they also provide a level of stability that other replacement solutions cannot compare to.
Dental implant technology has continued to evolve over the last two decades, but even patients who received implants in the 1980s and 1990s still report optimal functionality. Not only do implants have a 97 percent success rate, they lack the complications that often accompany alternatives like bridges and dentures.
Adriatic Dental, a San Marcos Dental practice, can provide you with missing teeth help through implant dentistry.
