Are you a candidate for dental implants?

January 9, 2012 //  by admin

During the last 20 years dental implants have become a great alternative to other methods of replacing missing teeth. Excellent success rates and a variety of available options give dentists many new ways to treat and replace lost teeth.
Your dentist will be able to evaluate your case and tell you if you are a candidate for dental implants. Basically, a dental implant is a Titanium based cylinder that replaces the missing tooth root. After a period of time and when the implant is taken other parts will be placed on the implant that enables your dentist to eventually place a crown (cap) on the implant.
Implants also can be used to support full or partial dentures. They dramatically improve the denture retention and stability.
Most patients with enough amount of bone can have implants, although individual decisions are made between you and your dentist. Usually an x-ray and a CT-scan is done to determine if you have enough bone to place the implant and also to determine the size and kind of the implant that should be placed.
If you would like to know if you’re a candidate for dental implants, please give our office a call at 781-335-0604.

    A missing tooth can destruct your bite as the other teeth in your mouth start to move going toward the empty space. And the bone left by a missing tooth will wane. For that reason, it is really important to have a complete set of teeth by replacing any missing teeth.As with Richmond Dentists, Dental Implants is the best tooth replacement.
