Dental Implant Surgery
For individuals who wish to replace missing teeth, dental implants may be an effective long-term solution. Implants provide greater structural support and last longer than either bridges or dentures. Implants serve as the artificial root to which new teeth are attached to.
Bone Grafts & Regeneration
In order to replace a missing tooth with a dental implant or bridges, there must be sufficient and suitable bone to support the implant or bridge. If this criteria is not met, regeneration of the bone should be performed. The procedure uses bone grafts and biocompatible membranes that keeps out tissue and thus, repairs and grows new bone. The new bone growth fortifies the grafted area by creating a bridge between the existing bone and the graft. Eventually, the newly formed bone will replace majority of the grafted material.
