Losing a tooth or several teeth is one of the most traumatic dental problems a person can experience. If the teeth are located in the front of the mouth, they may fear ever going out in public again. Dentist at Avenue Dental Care Puyallup can quickly fill the space left by a tooth extraction. Once the gum and jaw have healed the dentist will take x-rays to determine if the patient’s jaw is able to support an implant. If the jaw is too weak to support one, the patient can have an oral surgeon augment the jaw with a bone graft. However this is really a rare situation. Generally patients tolerate dental implants easily.
Dental Implants at Avenue Dental Care of Puyallup begin with the dentist inserting a titanium shaft into the patient’s jaw. This takes about six to eight weeks to heal completely. Then the dentist takes an impression and places a porcelain crown on top of the titanium implant. The implant is as strong as a natural root and holds the crown perfectly in place. The patient cares for it the same way that they care for a natural tooth.
Denture wearers are also using dental implants to feel more secure about eating and speaking while wearing their dentures. The dentist inserts several evenly spaced implants throughout the patient’s upper and lower jaws. Small metal balls are attached to the implant. These match the location of small slots on the bottom of the dentures. Every morning the denture wearer just snaps them securely into place. They no longer have to worry about their dentures slipping.
