Dental implants are innovative because they do something that other dental prostheses have never been able to – they replace the roots that supported your lost teeth. Implant posts are made from biocompatible titanium, which means your jawbone easily fuses to them as it heals. This makes them as sturdy and vital as your healthy, natural teeth, and gives them the ability to support your dental prosthesis with unmatched comfort and stability.
The procedure for receiving an implant-supported restoration involves surgically placing your implant posts in your jawbone. Its success relies on you having a strong and healthy enough jawbone to support the process and to remain strong enough to support your implants long afterward. Therefore, before recommending implants, we’ll thoroughly examine your oral health to ensure that jawbone erosion, periodontal disease, or other issues won’t compromise your procedure.
The good news is that even if you already wear a dental bridge or denture, you may still qualify for dental implant placement. If necessary, we might suggest periodontal treatment to control gum disease and/or bone grafting to strengthen your jawbone. Then, we can design an upgraded prosthesis that comes with the more lifelike support of one or more dental implant posts.
