Tooth Replacement in Los Gatos, CA

Some dental conditions cause extreme damage to the tooth that cannot be treated anymore. The only way to reduce the pain would be to extract the tooth. There are various tooth replacement options that the patient can choose from after the extraction to restore the aesthetic appearance and functionality of the tooth. Tod Anderson DDS family and cosmetic dentistry offer the following treatments to replace their damaged tooth.

• Dental Implant

A dental implant is an ideal treatment for patients who have a missing tooth. It is a dental procedure that offers permanent restoration of a damaged tooth. An implant is a metal post made of titanium that is placed into the jawbone to replace the root of the tooth. The dentist then mounts an artificial tooth over the implant after placing an abutment to complete the procedure. Dental Implants require multiple appointments at the dentistry.
