Beverly Hills Advanced Specialties of Dentistry

Anyone who wears a denture can tell you that a little extra support is always helpful! For these patients, a prosthodontist may recommend placing a few implants on the bottom jaw or on the top jaw to help to stabilize a full denture prosthesis and RESTORE the stability that occurs with natural teeth. A well-made denture can be beautifully crafted to RENEW a patient's smile. #NPAW2021 #Prosthodontics #drfrankvidjak #drfannyyacaman #endodontist #beverlyhills #CA

For patients who are missing all of the teeth in one arch, or have a poor prognosis for the remaining teeth, a prosthodontist may recommend a full-arch restoration on implants as a treatment option. As few as 4 implants can be inserted into the jaw to REPLACE some of the missing tooth roots and a bridge can be attached to the implants to RESTORE the missing teeth. This treatment option can RENEW a patient's smile sometimes as quickly as one visit! #NPAW2021 #Prosthodontics #drfrankvidjak #drfannyyacaman #endodontist #beverlyhills #CA

If a patient is missing multiple teeth in one area of the mouth, a prosthodontist may recommend to REPLACE them with an implant bridge. Just like a tooth-borne bridge, the implant bridge RESTORES multiple missing teeth, supported by less implants than the number of teeth that are missing. For example, if a patient is missing 3 teeth, 2 implants can be placed to support a 3-unit bridge where the 3 teeth are attached. #NPAW2021 #Prosthodontics #drfrankvidjak #drfannyyacaman #endodontist #beverlyhills #CA

When a patient is missing a single tooth, a prosthodontist may recommend to REPLACE it with a dental implant. Once the implant is placed and the bone has healed, a crown is fabricated to RESTORE the missing tooth. When treated properly, an untrained eye (and sometimes even a trained eye!) wouldn't know that it's an implant and not a natural tooth. #NPAW2021 #Prosthodontics #drfrankvidjak #drfannyyacaman #endodontist #beverlyhills #CA

A prosthodontist may utilize an implant to replace the root of a missing tooth. Implants are most commonly made of a titanium alloy, are screw-shaped, and are surgically placed into the jawbone by a dental professional. What you see of this process is the restoration, or new tooth, attached to the implant! When treatment is finished, dental implant restorations can truly RENEW a patient's smile. #NPAW2021 #Prosthodontics #drfrankvidjak #drfannyyacaman #endodontist #beverlyhills #CA

Prosthodontists are dental specialists who utilize a variety of treatments to replace, restore, and renew your smile! This week we will be highlighting some implant-related procedures that can help you smile again. An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and then has a restoration attached, which is what is visible when you smile. #NPAW2021 #Prosthodontics #drfrankvidjak #drfannyyacaman #endodontist #beverlyhills #CA
