Los Angeles, CA, Aug. 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Sam Markzar, Los Angeles periodontist, is now offering complimentary consultations for patients who are considering dental implants. Dental implants are permanent replacements for one or more missing teeth. Many patients prefer dental implants over bridges because they can last a lifetime if they are cared for properly, and because they look and feel just like natural teeth.
The term dental implant is popularly used to refer to the entire dental device, including the crown that replaces the missing tooth. However, the technical term "dental implant" refers to the artificial tooth root that is placed in the jaw. This artificial root is made from titanium or titanium alloy, and it can take the form of a rod or a plate, depending on the patient's needs. Once the implant is placed, Dr. Markzar, Los Angeles dental implants expert, restores the implant with a dental crown to replace the missing tooth.
Dr. Markzar is a Los Angeles implants dentist. He is one of the few dentists in the area who can both place and restore dental implants. Having full knowledge of working with dental implants offers Dr. Markzar special insights into the process, allowing him to place and restore them more effectively.
