DENTAL IMPLANTS & BONE REGENERATION
Dental Implants:
Dental Implants are a revolutionary advancement in the field of restorative dentistry, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth. At La Perla Dental Clinic, we employ state-of-the-art equipment like 3D imaging systems and surgical guides to ensure precision in implant placement. Typically, candidates for dental implants are those who have lost one or more teeth due to decay, periodontal disease, or injury. Opting for dental implants comes with a plethora of benefits: they function and appear like natural teeth, offer improved speech and comfort, and even aid in preserving jawbone integrity. Additionally, dental implants have a high success rate and can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a cost-effective and reliable choice for tooth replacement.

Bone Regeneration:
Dental implants are an effective, long-lasting solution for missing teeth, but what many people don't realize is that successful implantation often relies on bone regeneration techniques. In cases where jawbone density is insufficient, bone grafting can fortify the implant site, ensuring stability and long-term success. Utilizing state-of-the-art tools like cone-beam CT scanners for precise mapping and resorbable membranes for guided bone regeneration, these advanced procedures have become increasingly streamlined and effective. Ideal candidates for bone regeneration are those experiencing jawbone loss due to extractions, gum disease, or wearing dentures. Undergoing this procedure not only enhances the success rate of dental implants but also contributes to improved oral health by preserving the jawbone and facial structure. Embrace the dual benefits of a fuller smile and a stronger jaw with Dental Implants and Bone Regeneration—a cornerstone of comprehensive oral healthcare at La Perla Dental Clinic.
FAQ - Dental Implants & Bone Regeneration
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are inserted into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture. They offer a long-lasting solution for people who have lost one or more teeth.
Bone regeneration, often accomplished through bone grafting, is sometimes necessary to strengthen the jawbone. This provides a sturdy foundation for the implant, ensuring long-term stability and success.
At La Perla Dental Clinic, we use advanced diagnostic tools like cone-beam CT scanners to assess bone density and plan the graft. During the procedure, resorbable membranes and specialized grafting materials are often used for guided bone regeneration.
Patients experiencing jawbone loss due to extractions, gum disease, or long-term use of dentures are ideal candidates for bone regeneration procedures.
Undergoing bone regeneration improves the likelihood of a successful dental implant. It also helps in preserving your jawbone and facial structure, contributing to better oral health and a more youthful appearance.
The time frame varies from patient to patient and depends on the extent of bone regeneration required. Usually, the bone graft will need several months to fully integrate before the dental implant procedure can take place.
Local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Post-operative pain is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and tends to subside within a few days.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks such as infection or graft failure. However, these are relatively rare, especially when the procedure is performed by skilled professionals like those at La Perla Dental Clinic.
A thorough examination, usually involving X-rays or CT scans, will help your dentist determine if bone regeneration is necessary for a successful dental implant.
