Which Types Of Additional Care May I Need Before My Implant Supported Dentures Are Placed?
Additional procedures patients may need before their implant supported dentures in Greensburg, PA are placed are bone grafting and tooth extraction procedures. The following is how these additional procedures help patients get the implant supported denture procedures they need:
Bone Grafting:
A bone grafting procedure is needed when people do not have enough jawbone density and volume to support their implant supported dentures. Jawbone density and volume is lost when people have had missing teeth, that have not been restoratively replaced, for a long period of time.
In a bone grafting procedure, bone graft material will be placed and sutured to the area of the patients jaw where they have lost bone density and volume. With jawbone density and volume restored, the patient will have a healthy, reliable, and predictable platform to place their implant supported dentures on.
Tooth Extractions:
When people have one or more severely damaged or infected teeth, they will need to have those teeth removed in a tooth extraction procedure. Once the infected or damaged teeth are expertly extracted, the patient will be able to replace those teeth through a trusted implant supported denture procedure.
Whether people need tooth extractions, bone grafting procedures, or both, these additional procedures will give patients the healthy mouth they need to restore their smile with implant supported dentures. Advanced dental technologies will be used to make sure patients get the smile of their dreams with implant supported dentures.
Sedation dentistry will also be used to make sure patients have the anxiety-free and comfortable implant supported denture procedure they need and deserve.
