Replacing a Missing Tooth
Natural Tooth Root versus Dental Implant
Replacing a Missing Tooth
A natural tooth is anchored into the jawbone by its tooth root. Tooth roots attach firmly to the jawbone and keep your teeth stable when chewing foods.
Traditionally, if you were missing a tooth or if one needed to be extracted, the healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth would be cut down and the whole thing replaced with a three-crown bridge.
Dental implants are the modern natural alternative. Instead of cutting down two perfectly healthy teeth, the practitioner inserts a dental post (dental implant) into the jawbone to replace your missing tooth root. This post becomes solidly fixed into your jaw (somewhat like a natural tooth root). Your general dentist then places a crown onto this artificial tooth root that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
Quite simply, dental implants are the most natural replacement for missing teeth.
Dental Implants make for better oral health.
Bone Loss
Avoiding Failures
Complications and Options
Bone loss is one of the main issues causing problems and failures with implant patients. The Bicon system can be used with many patients that cannot use more traditional implant systems due to bone loss.
Bicon is a well-established alternate to more traditional implants, and has been around since 1985. However, they have almost exclusively served patients in the East Coast. Green Valley Dental Specialties offers this product and Dr. Jamison has been trained by Bicon on how to best use their product.
