If you have lost a tooth from decay or by accident, there are various options when it comes to replacement. Dentures are the more traditional method, but dental implants offer a more permanent solution to missing teeth. In fact, a dental implant is virtually indistinguishable from your regular teeth and can be performed at our general dentistry office.
Types of dental implants. There are a few types of dental implants, and your Bucks County dentist can help you determine which one is best for your mouth. Also, some patients may need to have bone grafting performed on the jaw to support the implant. This can include bone augmentation or a sinus lift, adding bone below the sinus where it’s deteriorated due to missing back teeth on the upper part of the jaw.
Subperiosteal dental implants: are placed under the gum, and either on or above the jawbone. This type of implant is best for people who don’t have a healthy enough jawbone and don’t want to or cannot undergo bone augmentation procedures to rebuild it.
Endosteal dental implants: are placed directly in the jawbone. These use the titanium screw implant and are the most common type of implant.
When patients need various additional services, the experts at Implant Dentures Bucks County are equipped to meet their needs. They routinely provide emergency dental services, extractions, frenectomies, and teeth cleanings.
