Is A Dental Implant Something That You Need?

Picking the right restoration for your individual smile goes a long way in determining the future of your oral health.

When we provide our patients the best in restoration options, we work hard to come up with restorative and conservative solutions that are effective. We typically recommend implant-supported restorations and dental implants when any of the following dental problems present themselves:

Advanced Periodontal Disease

Tooth loss is something that frequently happens due to gum disease or advanced periodontitis. If left without treatment, then bacteria can start eating up the jaw bone, which makes the foundation of any smile weaker. As a consequence, teeth will get loose and then fall out. A combination of bone grafting and then later dental implant placements means that patients can begin benefitting from bone tissue that is rebuilt, so that their facial aesthetics and oral health are fully restored.

Failed Root Canal Therapy

If root canal failure happens a lot, it won’t just damage the impacted tooth, but also presents potential jeopardy to a patient’s broader health and wellness. Bacteria will create abscesses, but from the infection site, they can wind up spreading throughout the rest of the body, possibly compromising the vitality and function of primary organs. When any tooth has to be retreated frequently, it might be a good idea to just get that tooth removed and then replaced using a dental implant.

Avulsion/Accidental Tooth Loss

Whether this happens thanks to severe dental trauma or a sports injury, tooth loss is something that has a long-term impact, ranging from misaligned bite to loss of dental function. A traditional bridge restoration can, of course, replace missing teeth, but they can also leave a patient’s jaw vulnerable to deterioration, which just boosts the odds of there being more tooth loss later. When dental implants can be placed surgically into a person’s jaw, they will also help maintain a full range of dental function and help in the prevention of bone loss.

Denture Replacements

Dentures do prove to be an effective and full arch replacement option for teeth. Having said that, this treatment vector does present complications sometimes. Dentures are maintained in place with a mixture of suction and adhesive, and this restoration can loosen during a day, which means that wearers face issues like difficulty chewing, shifting, and trouble speaking. Securing dentures using dental implants or even replacing dentures with a full arch restoration supported by implants means patients get to enjoy more confidence in how they look and feel, while their oral functionality and health are improved.
