Finding Good Dentists in Your Area

People say that smiles are contagious. I never believed this to be true. At the same time I wasn’t one to smile often either. I had an accident in my early twenties and lost a couple of my teeth. I had a mouth piece but I felt it looked fake and very obvious. It was very uncomfortable and I had to take it out at night. I wouldn’t want to talk to anyone or even look in the mirror. You don’t realize how much confidence comes from your smile until you lose it. Even though over half of adults have lost a tooth at one point in adulthood, I felt very discouraged and knew that something needed to be done.
I made and appointment with a Beverly Hills dentist and was able to get a free consultation. The dentist explained to me that I could receive a dental implant. I wasn’t sure what that was. He told me that it is an artificial root that is surgically inserted to hold my replacement tooth. The procedure would be performed by a Periodontist. They can last up to 15 years and are not exposed to many of the issues that natural teeth are. You can’t get a cavity with an implant. You would never need a root canal. There is no additional maintenance required. The thought of having something permanent again was like a dream come true. I just wanted to get my smile back and now I found a way!
Again I was only missing a couple teeth and I had thought that implants were for full sets. I found you can get an implant for individual teeth that look natural and don’t disturb your surrounding living teeth. I knew I was going to have to find a Periodontis and so I did a search for cosmetic dentists Beverly Hills. There were several results, I made my appointment, received my implants and feel like myself again! Remember I never believed that smiles were contagious. Now I know they are.
