By securely placing titanium artificial tooth roots into the jawbone, they offer a stable base for replacement teeth or bridges. With their natural look and popularity, dental implants have become a favored option for achieving a complete and healthy smile. However, before undergoing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonvilledentalexcellence.com\/dental-implants.html\">implant<\/a> placement, it is important to be aware of three essential preliminary treatments that may be necessary. Read on to discover what they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Dental Bone Grafting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Osseointegration is a vital process in which a dental implant establishes a robust and stable connection with the jawbone, creating a dependable foundation for a replacement tooth. Sufficient jawbone density is key to ensuring successful osseointegration, as inadequate bone density can increase the risk of implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jawbone erosion, also known as bone resorption, occurs when the jawbone gradually deteriorates due to missing teeth. When teeth are lost or extracted, the roots that were once embedded in the jawbone no longer stimulate the bone through biting and chewing forces. As a result, the bone in that area begins to resorb or shrink over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental bone grafting is a procedure that enhances the jawbone&#8217;s structure and density to support dental implants or other restorative treatments. It involves adding bone graft material to areas with insufficient bone volume, stimulating new bone growth. It provides a solid foundation for successful implant placement, improving oral function and aesthetics for individuals seeking dental restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Sinus Lifts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to replace molars or premolars in the upper jaw, a sinus lift procedure is utilized to enhance the bone structure located between the sinus cavity and the jawbone. This procedure becomes necessary when a patient has an unusually large sinus, which reduces the height of the jawbone and creates difficulties for implant placement. By performing a sinus lift, adequate jawbone density can be achieved, ensuring effective support for dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Tooth Extractions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before proceeding with dental implant placement, tooth extractions may be required, especially if a tooth is severely damaged or infected and needs to be replaced. In situations where multiple teeth need to be replaced, the removal of healthy teeth that obstruct the restoration may also be necessary. The complexity of these procedures can vary, ranging from simple extractions to more surgical interventions, depending on the specific circumstances involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Undergoing preliminary procedures before dental implantation is a standard practice that offers significant benefits for your oral health. These treatments are specifically tailored to ensure the success of your implants, paving the way for a long-lasting, attractive, and healthy smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Ryan Johnson leads the exceptional team at Jacksonville Dental Excellence, offering top-quality dental care to patients.
