Dental Implants
A popular and effective alternative to removable bridges and dentures, dental implants can give patients back their confident smile. By mimicking the structure of a natural tooth, dental implants have many benefits. These include improved esthetics, the ability to eat comfortably, and a clean, healthy oral environment.
Dr. Tina Beck 
Dr. Tina Beck is a local Periodontist that specializes in procedures associated with implants for missing teeth, and several periodontal surgeries to correct gum recession, bone loss, and bone defects. Often your general dentist will recommend such procedures which are usually referred out to a different location creating the anxiety of a new office, new doctors, and a different facility location. Dr. Friedman wants to offer a full team of dental specialist as Dr. Beck at his practice to assure professionalism, 5-star customer service and the highest quality of care. Dr. Beck visits Dr. Friedman's practice on Fridays for consultations of suggested periodontal treatments, and surgeries. With both doctors at the same facility, Dr. Friedman and Dr. Beck are able to put together ideal treatment plans offering less visits, conscious sedation for surgeries, and Friday appointments allowing ample healing time for the up coming busy work week for our patients.
Dental Implant-Before and After Photo 
Dental Implants are small, prosthetic posts that are placed into the bone of the upper or lower jaw. They act as replacements for the root portion of natural teeth and also serve as an anchor for replacement teeth. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant, which creates a solid foundation for replacement teeth that can potentially last a lifetime. This phase of the implant process is done with Dr. Beck at Dr. Friedman's office for convenience and patient comfort of already knowing the facility and assistants.
Phase 2 of the implant process is the restorative phase of treatment done with Dr. Friedman. You can count on Dr. Friedman to only use the latest in restorative materials, and has been working with the same porcelain lab technician for the past 8 years. All the procedures are done in one convenient location.
Dental implants look and feel exactly like natural teeth – in fact, no one will be able to tell the difference. They eliminate the need for clasps, clips, or denture adhesives. Dental implants are appropriate for almost anyone who is currently missing teeth or is at risk of losing teeth. As your San Diego implant dentist, Dr. Friedman will consult with you to determine the best solution in your situation.
