Dental
implants are stronger and more durable than their restorative counterparts such
as bridges, partials and dentures. And
from an esthetic standpoint, they look and feel more natural, some of which is
due to the progress made in their biocompatible development. Implants offer the patient a permanent
solution to tooth and continued bone loss. Additionally, implants may be used
in conjunction with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness in
that a single implant may serve to support a dental crown replacing a single
missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support a dental bridge for the
replacement of multiple missing teeth, and can be used with complete dentures,
both standard and mini implants to increase stability and preserve bone
structure.
Procedural
advancements, including the development of the above mentioned "mini"
implants, mean that a larger population than ever before are finding themselves
candidates for dental implants. While
application and candidacy for implantation varies on a case by case basis,
meaning that your dentist needs to determine the viability of implants as it
applies to your actual bone structure. Keep in mind, a general dentist may perform
the crown and bridge placement that is associated with implant restorations, prosthodontists
are the ADA sanctioned specialists who have received post-doctorate training
are most often your best bet for the successful completion of this type of
technique sensitive procedure. If we can
ever be of help please don’t hesitate to call or comment so we can answer your
questions.
