How Do We Guide Dental Implants Into Place?
A dental implant is essentially a new tooth root, one that can help you address minor and severe cases of tooth loss. Placement is crucial for ensuring they can support daily bite forces and pressure, which is why we use computer technology to guide them in place. In today’s blog, your Newhall, CA, dentist explains how CT technology helps with the tooth replacement process.
When Does A Surgical Tooth Extraction Help Your Smile?
While your Newhall, CA, dentist strives to help protect teeth and repair any damage or oral health issues to preserve them, sometimes protecting your oral health means actually removing a tooth.
