Would you like to replace your missing teeth with something that looks, feels, and functions just like the real thing? dental implants may be the right solution for you. The dental implant procedure has come a long way, and more patients are eligible for the treatment than ever. Still, there are a few guidelines regarding candidacy to keep in mind.
We go over these guidelines and exceptions below.
This guide is meant to give you a good idea of what to expect, but it’s always highly recommended that you schedule a face-to-face consultation with your dentist. If you would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Carré, you can come visit us at our Laval office.
Other factors that may influence your eligibility include medical conditions such as bruxism, hemophilia, or severe diabetes, as well as certain medicines. Your implant provider will go over these factors during your initial consultation.
It’s perfectly common for patients to have suffered from bone loss or gum recession due to tooth loss. In fact, seven out of ten Canadians will develop gum disease over their lifetime.
As aforementioned, it’s important to have healthy gums and a strong jawbone for the procedure and we have treatments that can help get you back on track if you do suffer from bone or gum recession.
Bone tissue can be replaced and regenerated via a bone graft. This procedure involves the placing of new tissue along the surface of the jaw suffering from deficient volume or density. Today,
Today, dental implant providers use a special grafting material to stimulate the process of bone tissue regeneration.
Bone augmentation procedures can go by different names depending on the area being treated. For example, a ridge modification involves the correction of a deformity along the upper or lower jaws. Not only does this procedure increase the likelihood of implant success, but it also brings with it aesthetic advantages.
If the bone deficiency is nearer to the upper back jaw, your dentist may instead opt for a sinus lift surgery. This treatment may require a longer healing period, although this is not always true — sometimes the implant can be placed during the same surgery.
Patients who have experienced extensive gum recession may be recommended a gum augmentation. Also called a gum graft, this involves adding new tissue to the affected parts of teeth.
Not only will this treatment improve the appearance of your smile, but it can also reduce sensitivity and reduce the risk of tooth decay by covering exposed roots.
Tooth implants are a remarkable treatment because they offer a comprehensive list of aesthetic and health benefits that other tooth restoration treatments don’t offer. Natural-looking and long-lasting, their popularity has grown immensely over the past decades.
