Common Causes Of Tooth Loss
Several factors can cause tooth loss in adults. Your teeth may have been knocked out by an accident, severe tooth decay, or advanced periodontitis. No matter what the reason may be, it’s important to address missing teeth as soon as possible to protect your smile. We can discuss your best treatment options after seeing your dentist. New Teeth Today may be an optimal option for many patients due to its short process and healing time.
Why New Teeth Today?
New Teeth Today allows you to replace your missing pearly whites in the same day. This procedure provides stability to your smile and is a beneficial solution for many patients, as it does not require bone grafting. Unlike dentures and bridges, this prosthetic option is secured in place and cannot be removed. Posts are strategically mapped out and then inserted into the jawbone to create a sturdy foundation before adding the new teeth. Many patients prefer this option to others as it is more secure and can be completed in a shorter amount of time than traditional dental implants.
Bone Grafting For Stability
Many patients worry that they may not be good candidates for dental implants if they have weakened jaw bones due to periodontal disease and other conditions. However, there is a way to prepare your smile for your new teeth and provide additional stability to your smile. In some cases, you may need bone grafting done to add additional tissue to the weaker areas. If your jaw ridge is too thin to place the posts, your oral surgeon may recommend a ridge expansion to add stability to the area and expand the bone so that it can support the post. We will take bone tissue from another part of your body or a donor and add it to the area. After you have recovered from the grafting procedure, your oral surgeon team may be able to move forward with dental implants.
