Dental Implants

A stunning and appealing smile always does wonders as it enhances an individual’s personality, and helps a person raise their head high in society. Be it in a large gathering, in an interview, or even a workplace, a graceful smile will always prove to be successful.

Why the need for dental implants?

When an individual loses his/her teeth or have a missing tooth, dental implants are the best available treatment to overcome such dental defects. As the name suggests, dental implants replace teeth and are usually performed to increase the esthetic appearance of a person and to help a person chew.

Dental implants are metal gadgets that are made of titanium and are placed in the upper and lower jaw bones. Acting as a substitute to the roots of the missing tooth, dental implants provide a solid foundation and anchor dental crowns, bridges, partials or removable dentures. Since dental implants are durable and long lasting, those seeking a natural and permanent solution for their dental disorder, dental implants are generally the best available option.

Sinus Grafting

The maxillary sinus is located in the back upper jaw above the natural teeth. The teeth maintain the height of the bone. When teeth are missing, considerable bone loss can result. There may not be enough height of bone to place implants therefore, to gain enough height for implants, a bone graft can be placed into the base of the maxillary sinus. This graft will serve as a new foundation to place implants.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting, normally a minor surgical procedure done in the dental office, is used to build up new bone in the area of your jaw that is used to hold the teeth. A small incision is made in your gum to expose the bone beneath it, and then grafting material is added. Learn more HERE.
