Dental Implants Are The best Solution for Replacing Missing Teeth!
Dental implants are precisely engineered, bio-friendly posts that are placed into the jaw bone in the place of a tooth root and capped with a restoration. A dental implant can be used to replace a single tooth, or to support dental bridges and dentures, for replacing multiple teeth.
With Dental Implants, You can Eat, Speak and Smile with Confidence
Dental implant technology has changed the face of tooth replacement. For a single missing tooth, Dr. Falsafi recommends a dental implant, because it restores full chewing power and doesn’t require damaging healthy teeth to accommodate a support for it. Additionally, an implant is usually expected to last a lifetime.
For some people, a conventional dental bridge can be more workable for a person’s lifestyle and budget. In those cases, we provide a high-quality, natural-looking dental bridge.
Bone Grafts
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that involves replacing missing bone, repairing bone fractures or fixing joints.
At Aegis Dental Centre, we offer different bone grafting options:
- Allograft – This is a graft that uses donated bone from a genetically similar organism (human bone); it has been cleaned, prepared and stored in a tissue bank
- Xenograft – This graft uses bone from a genetically dissimilar organism to humans (animal bone)
In dentistry, bone grafting is typically performed to increase bone mass underneath the gums in order to place an implant screw in a patient’s jaw. Over time, the bone graft fuses to the implant (osseointegration).
Bone Grafts in conjunction with implants
The reason this procedure is done is because without enough bone, the implant will be unstable due to a lack of support. For example, someone who has been without teeth for an extended period of time will experience a loss of bone in their gums. If they decide to get an implant and crown, they will have to undergo a bone graft procedure.
Depending on your situation, bone grafts may be placed at the same time as an implant, or before the implant. Our dentists will provide you details on a timeline that optimizes the healing and effectiveness of the graft.
