Dental implants allow our team to replace a single missing tooth, or to secure a bridge or denture that never slips and lasts for decades to come. But placement involves oral surgery, and this often makes people feel nervous, especially those with dental anxiety. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons will discuss how we use sedation to keep patients comfortable.
How Dental Implants Hold Crowns In Place
The replacement of a single missing tooth can restore your smile as well as your bite function. However, to make sure that you can count on the support of your restoration, you should look into what the right procedure can do to make sure your prosthetic appliance remains secure. At our Santa Rosa, CA and Rohnert Park, CA dental offices, we use dental implants to provide permanent prostheses for patients who want to regain full smiles. Addressing isolated tooth loss with a dental implant-held dental crown can make biting and chewing comfortable, and it can ensure that you regain confidence in your smile! (more…)
The Technology We Use For Implant Placement
When you have lost teeth, we could replace them with a lifelike, durable, and advanced dental implant. Whether you have one missing tooth, or all of them, dental implants are a great choice. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons will explain how we plan and implement this process with digital technology.
A Full Smile With Only Three Dental Implants
The changes to your smile that follow tooth loss could mean placing dental implants becomes complicated without first undergoing procedures such as ridge augmentation or sinus lifts. However, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons could still secure a full smile, often using Trefoil™ to do so with only three dental implants per arch!
Providing Your Smile With Full Arch Restoration
When you lose all of your teeth, this could mean serious troubles for your oral health, and your overall health too. To provide a complete smile again, even if you’ve lost jawbone tissue, we could secure a full arch restoration with only four dental implants. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons talk about full arch restoration.
Full Dentures With Dental Implant Support
If you’ve lost all of your teeth, then you could struggle with eating and speaking, and develop an aged appearance! To address this issue and prevent complications, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons could secure a full denture with dental implants. In today’s blog, we’re looking at what this process involves, and how this denture will look and function like natural teeth.
Securing Partial Dentures With Dental Implants
A partial denture is a unique prosthetic that addresses cases in which there are several gaps spread out across your smile, which could be too complex for a bridge or a full denture. But to offer greater stability, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons can secure these partials with dental implants.
Your Bridge Lasts Longer With Dental Implants
When you suffer from the loss of multiple teeth in a row, then a bridge could be recommended. However, they often require the loss of natural tooth structure for support, and only last about ten years. Fortunately, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons can support a bridge with dental implants, so it lasts longer and preserves natural tooth structure!
Individual Tooth Loss Solutions With Implants And Crowns
When you lose only one tooth, this could still mean major problems with your smile unless addressed. For a tooth replacement option that not only looks great, but has the potential to last for decades to come, then your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons may offer an implant and crown. In today’s blog, let’s talk about individual implant placement.
Preserving Your Ridge For Implant Placement
Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons may recommend a tooth extraction to protect your smile from major complications if a tooth is severely infected or damaged. But we also want to prevent issues from arising due to a missing tooth or two. With ridge preservation, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons help prepare your smile for implant placement!
