If you need one or more teeth replaced, you may not be aware of all the options you have and what they entail. Dentistry has come a long way in the past decade or so and there are now options that show more understanding of cosmetics than ever before, but those options have also taken functionality into consideration. Before you go in and ask for an older replacement method to be used, understand what your options are so that you can have a better dental experience. Partial plate: A partial plate is relatively inexpensive, and most people won’t know that you have had dental work completed. However, they can be hard to get used to, because they cover a portion of the roof of your mouth. You are also somewhat limited in how you can eat. For instance, if you have a partial plate in to replace your front tooth, you can’t bite into an apple like you normally would. While most people don’t even notice, this can make you feel self-conscious. You also have to take the plate out to clean it on a regular basis. Irvine dental implants: Irvine dental implants are done by very skilled Irvine dental professionals. These implants are installed permanently so that they function just like your other teeth. They are secured through the jaw, so you never have to worry about biting into something that might knock your teeth loose. They are more expensive than a partial plate, but they are also a permanent solution that will leave you feeling like you never had a tooth to replace at...

The things you need to do to prepare for Irvine dental implants will depend largely on how your current dental situation is and how much work is to be done. It takes 6-8 months for implants to fuse to the bone and during this time you probably want to have something in place while you wait for the entire implant procedure to be complete. Your Irvine dental implants can be put in without anyone knowing about it. If you currently wear a plate or a partial plate, you can continue to do this until your permanent tooth is put in after the implant has fused to the bone. If you do not have a plate or a partial plate, you might consider wearing one until the procedure is complete. Do not be concerned that people will notice because partial plates are easy to use and not noticeable. In fact, unless you tell people or your current teeth are visibly in bad shape, they might not know you had any work done at...
