Tooth loss can negatively impact individuals in more ways than one. For example, having missing oral structures can open the path for harmful bacteria to infect the teeth and gums, it can result in the deterioration or erosion of the jaw structure as the lack of roots from the teeth are no longer present, and it can also affect your bite. Fortunately, the restorative option of dental implants can provide solutions to these issues and more. At Santa Rosa Oral Surgery in California, we make it our goal to assist you in finding the best method for you and your oral health.
They Offer a Secure Bond
Dental implants are the titanium posts that are inserted into the jaw bone and tissue. Typically, the dentist will create a custom post and place it, allowing the jaw to heal around the implant for a period of a couple of months, which then produces a tight bond with the jaw. After this has occurred, the dentist will create a custom restoration to fill the gap between your teeth, while also providing a seamless appearance.
They Provide the Solution to Multiple Circumstances
The use of dental implants offers versatility, as they can be placed for a number of circumstances. First, they can be used to restore your smile if you have a single missing tooth. The process described above details how a single restoration would normally occur, but it is important to understand that they can be used for multiple or all teeth as well.
Second, if you are missing a few teeth in a particular section, a custom dental bridge can be created and secured with restoration technology. Finally, if you are in need of partial or even full dentures, the titanium posts can be used to secure these devices to your smile as opposed to using the standard denture past to do so. As a method of creating and placing a full denture set, we offer the option of all-on-four dental implants, which allow us to strategically place four posts to support the denture set while making the process smoother by avoiding extensive bone grafting and minimizing recovery time.
