When you lose one or more of your natural teeth, you don’t have to keep that to yourself. There are options out there designed to help people after adult tooth loss strikes, and one of them has quickly become a hot topic of conversation. Dental implants are an innovative way to move forward, and they use an interesting biomechanical process called osseointegration to hold a prosthetic. This technology is also being used for those missing limbs, as it creates a strong connection between metal and bone.
So, after you lose a tooth, tell Santa Rosa Oral Surgery about it. Our team, including oral surgeon Dr. Leonard Tyko II, DDS, MD and Dr. Jason Rogers, DDS, work to help people move beyond tooth loss through effective, up-to-date prosthodontic renewal. We’re proud to be a real resource for the North Bay community right here in Sonoma County, so when you want to explore your options, we’re here for it. Let’s talk about dental implant placement.

Losing A Tooth Is Not The End Of The Story
You still have options, even after a tooth is gone. There are some traditional solutions, like dental bridges and partial dentures, and these often are good enough to regain bite function and appearance. But they can also lead to additional concerns such as bone loss where the initial tooth once was, and the additional strain can be too much for your remaining natural teeth.
There is another option, however, that’s been designed to help people after they lose one or more of their teeth. We’re talking, of course, about dental implant placement, which uses a small, threaded titanium post to provide a secure connection between bone tissue and metal. Since the human immune system actually protects this metal, bone grows snugly into the threads.
Osseointegration Is The Name Of The Game
When placing a dental implant, it’s essential to make sure that it’s going to stay. In order to do that, an oral surgeon needs to be able to trust his materials. That’s just one reason why we are so proud to be able to work with Straumann®.
Straumann® dental implants use Roxolid® titanium-zirconium alloy, which offers a stronger, faster connection. Talk to our office about your dental implant plans, and we can explain osseointegration further. It’s helping many North Bay residents to find their way back to a strong smile.
