Dental implants come with a variety of benefits. You can eat more of the foods you love, and your jawbone stays healthy. However, before you move forward with the procedure, you need a strong enough jawbone to support them. If you have missing teeth or have worn only dentures secured by adhesive, you may not have the bone strength in your jaw for the procedure.
Here is what you can expect:
- Planning – Using cutting-edge 3-D scanning and digital X-ray technology, your dentist will identify the areas of your jaw that need the augmentation. They will address any concerns you have before beginning.
- Treatment – Your dentist will carefully reshape the targeted jaw area. They will place bone grafting material where needed. This will lay the foundation for future dental implant success. For your comfort, we offer various sedation options to ease any anxiety.
- Integration Period – Following the procedure, your body begins the healing process. The introduced bone material gradually integrates with your existing jawbone. This phase is essential for making you a candidate for implants.
- Implant Placement – Once your jaw has fully healed, you’re ready for the exciting next step: dental implant placement. Whether you’re opting for a bridge or custom dentures, these implant-supported restorations will offer a natural look and feel.
