Dr. Bjornbak’s News & Updates

A dental implant is a permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels and works like a natural tooth.

The actual dental implant material is usually titanium. A post is surgically inserted into the jaw bone to replace the root of the missing tooth. The post integrates with the bone to provide a stable foundation. The root replacement device can help prevent future jaw bone deterioration that can occur after a tooth has been lost. When the implant has integrated securely with the bone (it can take three to six months), a smaller post is attached. This post extends above the gum line. The artificial tooth (crown) is then attached.

The dental implants available in the Sherman Oaks area are extremely versatile and can be used in a variety of configurations. One dental implant can replace one missing tooth. A series of implants can replace more than one tooth or anchor a dental bridge. Implants can also act as a sturdy base for partial or full dentures.

When calculating the cost of dental implants, you’ll want to compare them to other restorative options.

Call 818-672-1288 to schedule a visit to discuss your dental goals and the possibility of reasonably cost dental implants. If you are missing one or more teeth, you owe it to yourself to get dental implants information.

If you live near Sherman Oaks and experience severe anxiety when undergoing (or even thinking about!) dental treatment, oral sedation is for you.

Conscious sedation dentistry is available in Sherman Oaks at Michael Bjornbak DDS. We have been providing sedation dentistry in Sherman Oaks for several years with excellent outcomes. Whether it is called relaxation dentistry, oral conscious sedation or anxiety-free dentistry, it is completely safe and very popular for our nervous cosmetic and restorative dental clients.

Though it may sound impossible, with oral conscious sedation, dentistry patients can actually relax during dental visits. In addition, healing times for oral surgery and extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures are often shorter if the patient is sedated during treatment.

Sedation dentistry is great for alleviating anxiety for our Sherman Oaks patients, and oral conscious sedation can be effective for treating or working with the following:

• Teeth sensitivita;
• Fear of needles;
• A powerful gag reflex;
• Difficulty controlling body movement;
• Lengthy multi-procedure visits;
• Difficulty becoming numb with traditional injections.

If you need dental work more extensive than a filling; such as a root canal, tooth implant, crown replacement or wisdom tooth extraction; call Michael Bjornbak DDS at 818-672-1288. When you come to our office at 4849 Van Nuys Blvd., Suite 101, in Sherman Oaks, California, we can give you more information about sedation dentistry.

Sedation dentistry is only one of the services we offer at Michael Bjornbak DDS, where your smile is our top priority!
