A Healthy Smile Achieves Excellent Results
Your role is crucial for the best results with implant dentistry. You must be in good general health and have enough healthy bone structure to support the dental implant. Dr. Polizois may recommend that you complete any outstanding treatment, such as tooth crowns or fillings, before your implant placement surgery to ensure a healthy and stable environment for your dental implant.
If you lack enough bone structure to support your tooth implant, there's no need to worry. Dr. Polozois may recommend you complete a procedure called bone grafting before your implant placement surgery. Bone grafting uses synthetic or natural bone materials to strengthen and rebuild your jawbone so it can successfully support a dental implant.
