Ceramic dental implants are used for tooth replacement in Irvine, CA
Saving the natural tooth is a dentist's goal, as is preserving the health of the jawbone and the whole patient. When problems arise leading to tooth loss, the goal is to maintain the health of the rest of the oral cavity. Patients in Irvine, CA, have turned to Dr. David Son for ceramic dental implants.
The purpose of a dental implant
In dentistry, an implant is a post or cylinder that is surgically inserted into the jaw and is used for tooth replacement. It gives stability and support to dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures to replace missing teeth. Aesthetically speaking, topping an implant with a ceramic or porcelain crown gives the appearance of a natural tooth. Functionally, the patient regains the ability to eat and speak normally, the teeth stay in place, and the jawbone maintains its integrity. Benefits of dental implants include the following:- A single tooth or multiple teeth can be replaced using implants.
- A level of security and stability is found with implants that is not found with other restorations on their own.
- That stability allows the restoration to feel more like a natural tooth.
- With placement directly into the jawbone, an implant mimics a tooth root to stimulate the bone and keep it from deteriorating.
The biocompatible difference
Dr. Son believes in protecting and treating the whole patient. This includes selecting materials that are safe for the body. Titanium dental implants are the conventional choice for tooth replacement. However, Dr. Son often recommends zirconia dental implants as a metal-free option. Using ceramic dental implants ensures an aesthetically pleasing result that seldom has negative patient reactions. The body accepts materials that are biocompatible with little irritation or side effects.Each patient is unique and needs individualized treatment. During your appointments with Dr. Son, procedures and materials are selected based on your personal needs. Material testing is performed to ensure the materials used are best suited for each patient as incompatible materials can lead to additional health issues.

Reviewed by Scott R. “What will likely matter most to people, Dr. Son is the absolute best at making sure you feel ZERO pain. His numbing process is the equivalent of breathing. You just don't know when the process has started and then your gums are numb. Sounds to good to be true. That's the feeling I get every single time I go through the process.
Dr. Son is very patient and genuinely gives off a positive comforting energy. I've been maybe 7 times and each time I leave grateful.”

After hours and hours of searching and speaking to offices mainly in LA, I found Dr Son. His prices were much better than the holistic dentists in LA and his attention to detail and kind heart put me at ease.
I literally almost fell asleep while having a crown put in, it was that pleasant. (I used the gas and the mouth piece that rests gently to keep mouth open while they work and act as a suction. It’s a genius invention that I haven’t seen at other offices I consulted with.)
His office staff and assistants are top notch and the hygienist corrected me on several habits no other hygienist had addressed in detail which I know will save my teeth from future work.
I suggest getting in with them before they become to hard to get a new patient appt. (That’s what happened with my holistic Endocrinoligist;)
Thanks Dr Son!”
