To answer the first question about how long dental implants last, the answer is no one knows how long they would last. However the first  implant dentistry was done about 45 years ago . The good news is the patient still has his original dental implants without any problem.

Another frequently ask question regarding the dental implants is about the success rate of the procedure. The answer to this question is 95%. Success rates of dental implants are directly related to the dentists’ skills, oral health and the quality of the patient’s bone.

Green Dental & Orthodontics is specialized in creating strong, stable and bio-compatible dental implants with over 26 years of experience. For more information visit our San Fernando Valley dental office at: http://greendental.com/dental_implants.html

It may be funny to some, but there are plenty of dental patients in Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino, and North Hollywood who are not enjoying a comfortable way of life because of difficulties dealing with dentures. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (AAOMS), by age 74, 26% of all dental patients have lost all of their permanent teeth.

With dental implants, Los Angeles patients who need dentures can have a permanent tooth loss solution that does not require re-align appointments, overnight soaks, or denture paste. Dental implants affix new dentures by integrating naturally to a patient’s jaw and tissues, thereby enabling the patient to chew, speak, and smile with complete confidence.

San Fernando Valley dental patients have told us that their implant-retained dentures have made them feel younger, eat more wholesome, nutritious foods, and have allowed them to live fuller, more active lives.

As we enjoy the holidays, we often lose sight of our dental health, so Green Dental would like to share these tips for a healthy holiday season:

• Try to keep sugary snacks to a minimum
• Always brush and floss daily
• If it’s time to schedule a check-up, schedule as early as possible. Los Angeles Holiday dental appointments can fill up quickly!
• Consider cosmetic dentistry, like tooth whitening, for a more picture-perfect smile or pay for a friend’s cosmetic care as a holiday gift.

A safe and blessed Holiday season, from the Green Dental family, to your family.

It’s important to take care of your cosmetic dental work, just as it is important to care for your natural teeth. Here are 5 tips to care for your Los Angeles smile after cosmetic dental treatment:

• To prevent staining of your teeth from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco products make sure to brush soon after consuming these products.
• Limit between meal sugary snacks.
• Maintain routine brushing and flossing. Floss at least once daily and brush after every meal.
• Do not bite on hard or sharp objects such as pens, pencils, nails, or pins. If you tend to grind your teeth at night, you may want to talk to our Sherman Oaks dentists about using a night guard to protect your cosmetic care.
• Limit your alcohol consumption. Excessive amounts of daily alcohol can cause damage to dental bonding and composite adhesives used in porcelain veneers.

All of us at Green Dental want your smile to last a lifetime. If you are near Encino, North Hollywood, Studio City, or anywhere in Los Angeles, come pay us a visit and see what we can do for your smile and your oral health.

Many dentists, like the Sherman Oaks dentists at Green Dental, offer in-house financing which at times can be available at no interest for a specific period of time, such as 6 months or one year. Another option is outside financing through reputable lenders, like Care Credit. Care Credit has built an excellent reputation in Studio City, Encino, North Hollywood, and all over Southern California. Plus, it is accepted in many dental and health care offices.

Green Dental wants your care to be as affordable as possible, so we’ve added another option to financing: in-house dental insurance! That means at Green Dental, you have the luxury of both insurance and financing, all completely in-house! Green Dental offers financing starting at $59 per month for orthodontics and Invisalign, and our in-house dental insurance can assist you in paying for your oral health investment with small monthly premiums.

We invite our patients to learn more about Green Dental’s financing options.

The best part about sedation dentistry is that you are not completely asleep under conscious sedation, so you are still in control. While you remain awake, you enter a state of deep relaxation. This allows dentistry to be more comfortable for you. Best of all, once the sedation wears off, you have little to no memory of the treatment.

Sedation is administered by certified dentists, like our Studio City dentists, many of whom are proud members of DOCS, the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation. Sedation can be administered in two ways: orally through a tiny pill or through I-V. Oral conscious sedation is simplest, easiest way to enjoy a safe, comfortable dental experience.

Now that you’ve learned about sedation dentistry, the next step would be to call our North Hollywood and Encino dentists and schedule a consultation, where all your questions about sedation dentistry can be answered and your new smile can be obtained.

How about dental implants? That’s right, dental implants!

You may be surprised to know that dental implants are more affordable than you think. A typical single-tooth implant in Los Angeles costs about the same as a three-unit bridge and offers better restorative support. Plus, in-house dental insurance and patient financing at Green Dental can help pay for the implants.

Think of the members of your family in Studio City and North Hollywood who struggle with the embarrassment of not being able to smile brightly for holiday photos. Or the loved ones in Encino or Van Nuys who cannot eat a well balanced nutritional foods due to missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures. Dental implants can make your friends and family look good and be healthier and happier. And who wouldn’t want health and happiness as a holiday gift?

Contact our Sherman Oaks dentists to help you make a loved one smile this holiday season.
