How Secure Are Implant Dentures and Bridges?

Do You Need A Grafting Or A Sinus Lift Following Tooth Loss?
When you lose teeth, this doesn’t just leave a gap in your smile. Unless addressed, you could lose mass and density in your jawbone and eventually, develop an aged appearance. In order to rebuild the lost structure and preserve your smile’s structure and beauty, you may need a bone grafting or sinus lift. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons discusses these unique treatment options.
Extracting Teeth Before Implant Placement
Sometimes, remaining teeth need to be removed before we move forward with tooth replacement, while for others serious concerns such as infection could mean a tooth requires removal. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons will explain how we approach tooth extraction and dental implant placement.
Ensuring Your Comfort During Implant Placement
When you suffer from tooth loss, replacing your missing teeth could be crucial for avoiding complications that alter the function of your bite and the appearance of your facial structure. We help restore smiles with implant dentistry, which requires oral surgery. To ensure our Santa Rosa, CA, patients remain calm and comfortable throughout the process, we may suggest dental sedation.
Why Dental Implants Are Often the Preferred Solution
If you lose one or more of your natural teeth, then replacing them is an important step in preserving the future health and integrity of your smile. For many people, the best solution is to replace their lost teeth with an appropriate number of dental implant posts, which are designed to mimic healthy, natural teeth roots. Dental implants can be used to support a custom-designed dental crown, bridge, or denture (depending on how many teeth you’ve lost). They’re often the preferred solution for tooth replacement because they’re the only solution for replacing your lost teeth roots. (more…)

Today, we take a look at how you can boost your chances of avoiding tooth loss, and how to preserve your smile more effectively if you do experience it. (more…)
Why the Roots of Your Teeth Matter
Since the crowns of your teeth are the most visible parts of them, it can seem like they’re the most important parts to replace when it comes to addressing tooth loss. In most conventional forms of tooth replacement, a custom-designed dental bridge or denture can be designed to accomplish this with optimal, highly lifelike results. However, the roots of your healthy, natural teeth matter a great deal to your overall oral health. When you experience tooth loss, you may benefit from replacing your lost teeth roots with the help of dental implant posts. (more…)
