When people have a full arch of missing teeth, they may be an immediate candidate for full mouth dental implants. But what happens when people are not immediate candidates for full mouth dental implants? Luckily, there are additional procedures people can have so they can become candidates for full mouth dental implants in Houston, TX. Here are the ways people can become a candidate for full mouth dental implants.
For people who have had missing teeth or extracted teeth for an extended period of time, it can result in them having bone tissue loss in their jawbone. When this happens, people may not be an immediate candidate for full mouth dental implants. The good news is that, with a bone grafting procedure, the patient’s jawbone can be restored so that they can become an ideal candidate for full mouth dental implants in Houston, TX.
During a bone grafting procedure, bone graft material is precisely placed in the areas of the patients jawbone where they have an insufficient amount of jawbone tissue. With the bone graft material securely in place, the patient’s jawbone will be strong enough to support their full mouth dental implants. Because the dental implant posts are made to act like natural tooth roots, they keep the patient’s jawbone strong and healthy.
