Long-Lasting Smiles: The Importance of Post-Op Care
Tooth extraction refers to completely removing a tooth from the oral cavity. Individuals with overcrowded or decaying teeth may be suitable candidates for this procedure. There are two types of tooth extractions: simple extractions and surgical extractions. Simple extractions involve removing a tooth visible in the mouth.
In contrast, surgical extractions involve removing a tooth that may have broken off at the gum line or has not yet emerged. The cost of tooth extractions depends on whether you have dental insurance, as dental insurance typically covers the associated costs if the procedure is deemed medically necessary.
Bone grafting is a procedure that restores lost bone in the jaw, providing a strong foundation for dental implants. It is often necessary for patients who have experienced bone loss due to tooth extractions, gum disease, or trauma.
The procedure involves transplanting bone tissue, which can come from the patient, a donor, or synthetic materials, to the affected area. Over time, the graft integrates with the existing bone, promoting new bone growth and ensuring the stability of future dental implants.
The procedure known as a sinus lift involves raising the maxillary sinus to create extra space for new bone growth. Located above the upper jaw, the maxillary sinuses are air-filled cavities positioned behind the posterior section of the maxilla. By lifting the sinus and adding bone material in between, more bone volume is generated to ensure the effective positioning of dental implants.
Dental implant surgery involves replacing missing or damaged teeth with artificial ones that closely resemble natural teeth in both function and appearance. Metal posts are surgically placed into the jawbone as anchors for attaching crowns. Individuals who have lost permanent teeth due to decay, disease, or injury may benefit from this procedure.
