Dental Bone Implants
Cosmetic dentistry is the most sophisticated way of improving one’s image by improving their smile; this practice includes many forms of procedures depending on the needs of the patient including teeth veneers, bridges, dental fillings, dental bonding, dental implants and many others. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that a dentist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may include an additional surgery commonly known as bone grafting or dental bone implants.
The success of this form of cosmetic procedure depends on the capability of the cosmetic surgeon. In addition, it also depends on how fast your teeth can react to the treatment modality. It is also the duty of the cosmetic dentist to judge the reaction rate after studying the structure and condition of your teeth and gums. It is important to say and it should be noted that you are dependent on the competence of your dentist when it comes to cosmetic procedures and so your first most important responsibility is to choose a good dentist for your treatment plan.
Dental implants are intimately connected with the gum tissues and underlying bone in the mouth. Not only do implant dentists have experience working with other dental professionals, they also have the special knowledge, training and facilities that you need to have teeth that look and feel just like your own. The implant dentist together with your dentist will consult and determine where your implant will be placed. The first step in dental implant procedures is to check whether you have enough bone tissue that lays foundation for the implant to be placed. You will require dental bone implants if you do not have enough bone tissue to hold the implant in place.
Bone grafting for dental implants can be done in various ways, in most cases; the bone from your own mouth is gathered so as to prepare the implant area. Worthing Dental Centre practitioners point out that this is the simplest form of bone grafting and can be done right from the dental chair. Synthetic materials can also sometimes be used in order to stimulate the bone growth. In cases where the top jaw above the back teeth has insufficient bone for holding implants, the sinuses are lifted and bone is inserted into the sinus chambers to grow enough structure to secure dental implants. There are many other techniques of bone grafting, they include, sinus lift graft, block bone grafting, bone expansion, socket preservation, interposition bone grafts and guided tissue regeneration. The implant dentist will decide the best technique for you depending on the needs; the technique will be decided after consultation.
Dental bone implants replace missing bone lost from previous dental extractions, injuries, accidents, cysts, periodontal disease, infections along with many other causes. This additional surgery will ultimately add to the total costs of the procedure. However, this is done with the aim of ensuring that you get the best results out of the process.
