This holiday season, make sure you’re doing something for yourself. We can all get so caught up with the festive holiday cheer that we often forget about our own needs, but they still exist. That means that if you have lost one or more of your natural teeth, spend a minute learning about your options; because they are out there, and by working with a trusted oral surgery team, you can take steps toward a full smile again.
At Santa Rosa Oral Surgery, we understand the importance of a complete, beautiful set of teeth. It’s why we wake up every morning so energized to help people find their way back to a smile that they enjoy. We also know that dental implants offer some real advantages over other, more traditional options; so, if you’re ready to revitalize your smile, let’s talk about it. Before Christmas rolls around and takes up all of your time, reach out to our front desk.
Having a smile that you love can make a real difference. Find out more about our advanced approach to prosthodontic renewal.
Dental Implants Work Through Osseointegration
When an oral surgeon places a dental implant, they are able to do it due to a quirk in the human immune system. You see, the body does not identify the metal titanium as a threat, and instead of attacking an implant, they protect it. This process is called osseointegration, and it’s not only being used in dental situations; it’s also helping people who have lost limbs to find their way back to functionality. If you have lost one or more of your teeth, let’s talk about finding a way forward to see if dental implants make sense.
Implant Placement Offers A Range Of Smile Solutions
Just because you have lost more than one tooth, it does not mean that a dental implant can’t work. Implant placement can also be a successful way to replace a few teeth next to each other through an implant-supported bridge. This approach uses the strength and security of dental implants to mount a prosthetic for a larger gap. At your consultation, we can talk you through the process.
All-On-X is another exciting way to deal with tooth loss. This technique aims to replace a full arch with a denture that’s held through a set number of implant posts. Often, this means the placement of four implant posts per arch, keeping a prosthetic in place with more strength and an adhesive can provide.
