Go Ahead, You’ve Got Time: Implant Dentistry is Easier than You Think

We know you’ve been thinking about getting that implant dentistry to replace that tooth that never grew in. Or, maybe you have suffered from tooth decay, periodontal disease, a sports injury, or various other reasons. You’ve seen the commercials, heard from other patients with similar stories, but you’re still debating on whether to just go ahead and get it done.  Whatever the story behind thinking about implant dentistry, now is the time to finally do something about it. And the even better news, most of the procedures are faster than you think.

A dental implant procedure involves one of two different types of implants- endosteal and subperiosteal implants. Endosteal implants refer to implants that go into the jawbone, and are the most common type of implant. This type is often used as a substitution for patients with dentures or bridges. Subperiosteal implants are implants that are put on the jawbone, and have a metal framework that goes through the gum line to hold the implants in place. While not the most common, it may be the best option for patients with the usual, common dentures, or who have a small framed jaw.

Implant Dentistry is an option for those with generally good oral health, who need a single implant, or who may need implants throughout their entire mouth. Besides the common single tooth implant or replacing all of ones teeth, another procedure that may be needed is sinus augmentation, which helps corrects sinus issues by raising sinus floor and using the new jawbone to place the implants. Ridge modification is another factor for considering implant dentistry, this is used to correct deformities in the upper and lower jaw, and then place in fitted implants.
