Periodontal Services Los Gatos

700 W Parr Ave STE J, Los Gatos, CA 95032

Periodontal diseases are ongoing infections of the gums that gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. Dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease in genetically-susceptible individuals. Bacteria found in plaque produce toxins or poisons that irritate the gums. They may cause them to turn red, swell, and bleed easily. If this irritation is prolonged, the gums separate from the teeth causing pockets (spaces) to form. Plaque can also harden into a rough, porous substance known as calculus (or tartar). This can occur both above and below the gum line. As periodontal diseases progress, the supporting gum tissue and bone that holds teeth in place deteriorate. If left untreated, this leads to tooth loss. Statistically, this disease damages the teeth, gum, and jawbone of more than 80 percent of Americans by age 45.

How Can We Help?

If you have dealt with a missing tooth for years, you may be wondering why it is so important to fill that space now. When considering a tooth replacement solution, keep in mind that dental implants are the only comprehensive solution since they address both the visible missing tooth and the missing tooth root under the gum. The presence of a replacement tooth root not only anchors the new tooth in place, it also protects against bone loss since it is seated into the jaw bone. And the sooner you replace a missing tooth, the less likely your natural teeth are to shift out of place and create an unhealthy bite.

Dental Implants Treatment Los Gatos

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that their teeth appear natural and that their facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.

Dental Patient Testimonials Los Gatos

I would highly recommend Dr. Rahimi and his staff for your dental needs -- best dentist I have ever been to. I have referred quite a few family and friends and everyone has raved about Dr. Rahimi and his office. He definitely has my highest possible rating.

Dr Rahimi really cares about his patients. He makes sure to choose the right course of action for them. In addition his nurses and staff are top rate. They really look after the patients and bend over backward to accommodate them. I feel I am very lucky to have found Dr Rahimi.

Dr. Rahimi made me realize today that it is possible to receive an anesthetic shot in the gums and feel nothing. I guess I never thought that would be possible. Then, 15 minutes later with zero discomfort I had a freshly replaced filling. Fast, precise, effortless, and a gem of a human. I am thrilled to have this dentist office on my radar!
