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.
