When people with missing teeth do not immediately replace them with dental implants, their jawbone can deteriorate. A deteriorated jawbone can prevent people from becoming a candidate for a dental implant procedure. When this happens, those people should get treated with bone grafting before they get dental implants in Oregon City, OR. There are many reasons why people should get a bone grafting procedure before getting treated with dental implants.
Are There Functional Benefits To Getting Treated With Bone Grafting Before A Dental Implant Procedure?
The functional benefits of getting treated with a bone grafting procedure before the placement of dental implants in Oregon City, OR is improved oral function. A bone grafting procedure restores a person’s jawbone density. With restored jawbone density, patients have a healthy and strong jawbone that will allow them to chew, speak, and smile properly when their dental implants are placed.
Dental implants need a stable and strong base to be placed into for long-term oral health and function. Not only does a bone grafting procedure help people with low jawbone density become candidates for dental implants, dental implants help the bone graft last a long time. Dental implants prevent the areas of jawbone loss, where missing teeth are, from deteriorating. This is because the dental implant post is made to act like a natural tooth root.
Are There Cosmetic Benefits To Getting Treated With Bone Grafting Before A Dental Implant Porcedure?
What many people do not talk about with bone grafting procedures, are the cosmetic benefits to having them done before a patient gets treated with dental implants. As aforementioned, tooth loss can lead to jawbone deterioration.
A deteriorating jawbone can lead to jawbone resorption, where the patients face begins to have a sunken-in look, making their face look unappealing, old, and tired. With bone grafting, the patients jawbone density will be restored, giving their face a healthier and younger look that is not sunken in.
Of course, getting dental implants after a bone grafting procedure will help keep their jawbone in health and strength. By choosing to have a bone grafting procedure before dental implants are placed, a patient’s new smile is ensured to last for years to come.
