Dental implant surgery is usually an outpatient surgery performed in stages, with healing time between procedures. The process of placing a dental implant involves multiple steps, including: Damaged tooth removal. Jawbone preparation (grafting), when needed. Dental implant placement. Bone growth and healing.
Restorative dental procedures have many benefits, which is why they are some of the most commonly performed procedures by dentists.
Restore function: The biggest benefit of restorative procedures is that the functionality of your teeth is restored. You can eat and talk with relative ease because your teeth are healthy.
Eliminate pain: If you have a deep cavity or an infected tooth that needs a root canal, you have probably experienced severe pain related to these issues. Restorative procedures eliminate that pain by correcting the problem or removing the infection
Improve appearance: Restorative procedures can make your teeth look better so that you can smile with confidence.
Preserve jaw bone density: Replacing a missing tooth with an implant preserves the bone density in your jaw. If a tooth is missing, the part of the jaw that once held it in place will start to weaken and eventually dissolve. After that, in order to replace it with an implant, a bone graft procedure will be required. It is best to replace a missing or unviable tooth right away to avoid bone loss.
