Hey San Francisco! Is it Tooth Implant or Dental Implant?

San Francisco Dental Implant Reviews Don’t Tell the Whole Story
At SF Dental Implant Center, we have to say that we are proud of our San Francisco dental implant reviews on places such as Yelp and Google+. We are proud of them for the simple reason that they are all good.
The reason that they are all good is because we know that the dental implant treatments that we carry out cannot be surpassed anywhere – not just in San Francisco, but anywhere else. Our senior doctor, Dr Alex Rabinovich, has trained in dental implant surgery and maxillofacial surgery for many years, and specializes in those areas. He is the author of many respected works in the profession, which means that other dental surgeons look to him for guidance.
Thousands Of Treatments and Patients in the Dental Industry
Dr Rabinovich has literally thousands of dental implant treatments behind him. Where general dentists may only perform dental implant treatments perhaps once or twice a month, Dr Rabinovich may carry out as many as four or five in a day – every day.
It follows that at SF Dental Implant Center, you get the finest treatment available.
However, San Francisco dental implant reviews don’t tell you the whole story, and Dr Rabinovich would be the first to agree with this. What they do tell you is how happy other patients have been with the dental implant surgery Dr Rabinovich has carried out for them, but, of course, every patient is different and has different needs.
Different Types Of Tooth Implants
There are various types of dental implants, and what is right for one patient may be completely wrong for another. Furthermore, as with anything else in life, there are implants that use only the finest materials known to man, and others which are cheaper copies. At SF Dental Implant Center, Dr Rabinovich will not let his patients have anything less than the best.
While San Francisco dental implant reviews will give you a good guide, they don’t explain the full picture. This is why Dr Rabinovich is very happy to give every prospective patient a free initial consult in order to explain the various options and the differing treatments that are available, and also to ascertain that a patient is eligible for this type of procedure. The good news is that most patients are, but for a few, it might not be the best course of action.
This is another reason why our San Francisco dental implant reviews are so good. If dental implants are not right for a given patient, Dr Rabinovich will say so. This means that he only carries out dental implant surgery on patients for whom he knows will receive full benefit.
You can read some of our great reviews by clicking on the Reviews link at the top of the page.
However, don’t just rely on those completely. Book a free consult with Dr Rabinovich in order to see exactly how dental implants can benefit you. Call us on (415) 992-9188, or just click on the Contact Us link above.

What are Dental Implants Made of? Titanium: Learn More
blog | August 30, 2014 – San Francisco, CA
Titanium is an amazing metal and has many uses; it is especially suited to implants into the human body, in particular hip and other joint replacements, and dental implants. The name “Titanium” was derived from Greek mythology, the Titans being extremely strong warriors. Being a top dental implant surgery center in San Francisco, we get many questions on the theme of ‘What are Dental implants made of?’ – so here’s an explanation.
Because of its light weight and strength, it has many uses for the military, and is used in aircraft, ships, missiles, spacecraft, and for armor plating. In civilian life it is used in things such as bike frames, tennis and squash rackets, spectacle frames, golf clubs, and laptop computers, in addition to its uses in jewelry.
Titanium for Dental Implants: Strength
Titanium is an extremely strong metal, yet is light in weight. It does not conduct heat very well nor does it conduct electricity easily. It is also corrosion resistant. In addition, as a dental implant it will not be rejected by the body and has the property of bonding very well with bone. It is also inert, which means that it will not react with any chemical.
Titanium is almost as corrosion resistant as platinum, and will resist most acids, together with saline solutions, and chlorine gas. It is as strong as steel, yet 45% lighter. Although it is 60% heavier than aluminum, it is twice as strong. Thus, it is perfect for use in situations where strength combined with light weight is a requisite, and also in situations where metal fatigue might be an additional issue.
When used as a dental implant it is in the form of a screw which is inserted into the jawbone. In effect, it becomes a new root for the missing tooth. Once inserted into the jawbone, the bone will then heal and grip the titanium screw tightly and grow over the top of it. A crown made of a ceramic material is then placed on top of the implant.
Healing and Dental Implants
While the bone is healing and bonding with the titanium implant, the dentist will place a temporary crown on top of it which will remain in place until the permanent crown is fitted some months later.
The advantages of titanium dental implants over dentures are many. Not the least of these is that the titanium implant in effect replaces the root of the original tooth, and is just as strong, if not stronger. For all practical purposes it does exactly the job that the original tooth did, but has the big advantage that it is not subject to decay.
You get the big advantage of having a perfect smile once again, but better still is that you can eat in exactly the same way that you did when you had your natural teeth. While dentures might give the appearance of real teeth, the truth of the matter is that they do have a tendency to slip about when you are eating, which can be not only uncomfortable, but may prevent proper chewing.
Not all patients are suitable for titanium implants, but fortunately, most are. In order to see whether or not you qualify, you will need a free dental implant consultation with a top oral surgeon. San Francisco Dental Implant Center can make you an appointment with one of their specialists. For your free consultation, call them on (415) 992-9188.
