When you decide to restore your teeth with dental implants in Midland, it’s important to find the right dentist to trust with your treatment. Many dentists work with an oral surgeon for implant placement, which means that you will see a specialist that you may not be familiar with for the first stage of your treatment. Other dentists, such as your team at Boyles General Dentistry and Implant Center provide comprehensive implant dentistry at their office. This means that you will work with the Odessa team you know and trust from start to finish.
Understanding the Process
It’s important to understand how a dental implant works before you can decide the best provider to work with.
First, the dental implant is placed into your jawbone during a simple surgical process, then it is given a period of 3 to 5 months to heal so it can successfully integrate with your bone. Because the implant is made of titanium, which is biocompatible, it can integrate naturally with your bone through a process called osseointegration. This allows it to establish a firm foundation for your new tooth, or implant crown.
Your dentist will be monitoring the progress of your implant throughout the entire healing process, and when it’s ready your new implant crown will be placed. Multiple implants can be used to anchor dental bridges and dentures for patients who are missing multiple teeth.
The Benefits of Working With Your Dentist for Implant Dentistry
Many general dentists have undergone extensive training to be able to provide their patients with comprehensive implant dentistry, and this is true of Dr. Stephen Boyles at Boyles General Dentistry and Implant Center.
When you have your trusted dental team at your disposal, you can make them aware of any concerns that you might notice during the healing process. You also won’t have to worry about scheduling appointments at an office you’re not familiar with.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Because of his extensive training, Dr. Boyles is able to offer complete surgical procedures at Boyles General Dentistry and Implant Center, including dental implant placement and bone grafting procedures for patients who may not have enough healthy bone structure to properly support a dental implant.
This makes dental implants a possibility for most patients, even if they have been told in the past that they’re not a candidate for dental implants.
