Dr. Bandy will be able to evaluate your oral health and determine if you’re a likely candidate for dental implant treatment which offers several advantages over dentures.
Compared to dentures, dental implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss and can last the rest of your life with proper care. You’ll also never have to worry about your dental implants slipping during an inopportune moment. are rooted in the jawbone for the ultimate stability while you eat, talk, laugh, and smile.
For to be successful, you’ll need adequate bone density in the jaw. This ensures that your implant has the support it needs to fuse with the jawbone and provide a stable foundation for your future abutment and crown. While the crown replaces the visible part of your tooth, the abutment acts as a connector piece between the crown and prosthetic root.
Once you lose a tooth, the bone around the empty socket will start to deteriorate. If left untreated, the adjacent teeth may start to drift toward the open space and loosen over time. Eventually, they may fall out and exacerbate the bone loss in your jaw.
Since dental implants are placed in the jaw, they have a unique design that exerts pressure on the bone tissue. This stimulation is necessary to stop bone loss in its tracks, safeguarding your oral health for years to come.
If you don’t have sufficient jawbone density, there’s no need to worry. Most people are able to get bone grafts to augment the tissue they already have. After a successful bone graft, your jaw will have more volume and density. In other words, you’ll be ready to receive a titanium dental implant and take the next step toward restoring your smile.
