The degree of a person’s periodontal problems can affect their experience with an infection. If the appropriate preventive care is provided when you have gingivitis, an infection can be reversed before complications affect you. However, if the condition is not treated in time, and gingivitis progresses to periodontal disease, it can lead to serious issues with inflammation and tissue damage. If periodontal disease is an ongoing concern, it can hold up plans to restore your smile with a dental implant-held restoration.
Active periodontal disease, and the lasting effects of an infection, can complicate plans to restore your smile. Fortunately, we are ready to help you take on these troubles! In addition to fighting periodontal disease, we can provide work to better prepare you to receive an implant. One problem that patients may face is a lack of support from their jawbone. To address this, we can use lasers when performing a jawbone grafting procedure to prepare you for implant placement.
The process of placing a dental implant is one that requires oral surgery, as the post must be set directly into your jawbone. Our office can perform this procedure for you. With diagnostic imaging technology, we can first identify where the implant should go, and confirm that you are ready for the procedure. With the appropriate dental sedation and anesthesia, we can ensure that the process of implant placement is comfortable for you. Once this procedure is performed, and you have healed from the treatment, you can look forward to having a lifelike restoration put in place to restore your full smile!
At our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice, patients who are ready to do something about tooth loss can talk to us about dental implant placement. In addition to providing this service, we can perform important preliminary work to ensure that work to restore your smile is successful.
