We support “forever smiles”: Predictable tooth replacement with dental implants that can last a lifetime!

At Royal Dental Practice, we create and support “forever smiles.” Our skilled dental practitioner, Dr. Roya Shoffet-Yaghoubian, has developed considerable expertise in caring for the unique needs of seniors. She truly appreciates that age is not a disease and tooth loss is not a “normal part” of aging. She also offers mobile dentistry services to further accommodate the needs of older individuals and those with mobility challenges. 

A lifelong learner, Dr. Shoffet-Yaghoubian rarely has to refer patients out to specialists and other dental offices. Notably, she provides comprehensive implant services right here in West Hills Los Angeles, California. 

Implant success rate and so much more!

Prosthetic teeth supported by dental implants can last several years or decades, even a lifetime. In fact, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry reports that restored implants have a success rate of more than 95%. There are key factors that can contribute to the success (or failure) of the implant. 

By partnering with a skilled implantologist, like our expert periodontist the risks of failure are minimized. Furthermore, our approach to partnering with patients supports the long, healthy life of their implant-retained crown, bridge, or “overdenture.” 

Notably, the key contributors that either help or hinder your new teeth include the following:

• The precise and appropriate placement of the implant by our expert periodontist precisely and safely positions the implant in the jaw. It can optimally heal and, later, support the prosthetic tooth. In turn, the implant functions just like a tooth root! Furthermore, we account for any potential challenges or barriers to the process early on; for instance, patients with extensive bone loss will likely need to have a grafting procedure to “build up” the jawbone 
• Consistent and proper oral care – One of the benefits of implant-retained teeth is their low-maintenance nature, but they still need to be brushed and flossed just like any other teeth. Furthermore, it is essential to maintain routine checkups at our office in West Hills. Dr. Roya Shoffet -Yaghoubian  have special tools and techniques to remove stubborn disease-causing substances like tartar. And, while restored teeth do not decay like natural teeth, implant restorations are still vulnerable to damage. Notably, peri-implantitis is a common cause of “late-stage implant failures.” This is a progressive, gum disease-like inflammation of the tissue around the implant. When not addressed and resolved properly and promptly, this condition can lead to bone loss and the loss of the implant-supported tooth

Our combination of advanced training and technologies and our focus on relationship-building is powerful; it helps patients to avoid the causes of both early and late implant failures. In addition to advanced and unique capabilities in implantology and mobile dentistry, patients have peace of mind about our safe, deep dental sedation services. General anesthesia/IV sedation is administered and monitored by our expert anesthesiologist on the premises.
