Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth placed surgically into the jaw. They’re an excellent way to replace missing or damaged teeth, as well as serving as support for dental appliances.

Dental implants require a number of steps, including initial X-rays and impressions taken of the jaw and teeth. This determines a patient’s bone, gum tissue, and implant spacing.Usually constructed of titanium, dental implants are durably strong, stable, and long lasting.

They can be used optimally to replace missing teeth, and restore damaged or broken teeth.  They can also be well utilized to resolve joint pain or bite problems, and support bridges or dentures.

Next, the implant will be placed surgically placed into the bone. For up to six months, the implant integrates itself onto the bone.

After this time, if necessary, there is a final placement of a post to hold an artificial tooth in place. With many implants the post and anchor are placed initially along with the implant itself.

Finally, the artificial teeth themselves are made and fitted. When both the tooth and root are damaged, a one-piece implant is used, creating an immediate single tooth replacement.

Regardless of the type of implant, the result is an esthetically pleasing and permanent solution, that preserves the jaw bone and overall dental health. From a full jaw to an individual tooth, dental implants are a complete dental solution to tooth loss.

At Camarillo Dental Studio, we’re experts at placing crowns. A crown covers and encases an entire tooth surface, which restores tooth shape and size. It protects and strengthens tooth structure, when other restorations simply will not work.

The most popular type of crown is porcelain, which closely resembles natural tooth shade. Highly durable and long lasting, porcelain crowns match a patient’s shape, size, and tooth color.

Crowns are utilized to repair broken, decayed, or fractured teeth and fillings. They’re also excellent for cosmetic enhancements, or to replace large fillings. If a root canal has occurred, crowns are also often employed.

To place a crown, your dentist will first take accurate impressions to create it, and use the mold as a temporary crown for a period of about two weeks, while the new crown is produced in a laboratory.

When the temporary crown is removed, the tooth is cleaned and the new crown carefully attached to make sure bite and spacing are a perfect fit for your mouth. 

At  Camarillo Dental Studio, we’re well skilled in root canal therapy, a process necessary when the nerve of a tooth is injured due to infection or decay.

To save the tooth, a root canal is employed to remove the pulp, nerves, bacteria, and decay inside the tooth, and this matter is replaced by medically enhanced dental materials.

Our dental team knows that having a root canal is the best choice to save a tooth that would otherwise require removal. Extracting a tooth is a more invasive and expensive procedure than a root canal, and root canal treatment usually will last a life time.

You may need root canal therapy when you are experiencing sensitivity to hot or cold, an abscess on your gums, severe tooth pain, swelling or tenderness around a tooth – but sometimes no symptoms at all will be present.

Root canal therapy is necessary when decay reaches the tissue inside the tooth, infections or abscesses have developed, or there is injury to the tooth. Our experienced dental team will clean out the decayed or injured area of the tooth thoroughly, and fill and seal the tooth’s inside cavity.

A filling will top the tooth opening, and a crown placed over the tooth to protect it from breakage.
