Dental Implant in Oceanside CA

Oral surgery is the procedure that, after the diagnosis and treatment of pathology of the mouth and jaws, will need to be performed if the problem persists or worsens. Oral surgery can be performed on toddlers, adolescents, and adults, as severe dental conditions could affect anyone. While the need for oral surgery is obvious in many circumstances like accidents and other dental trauma, it can be difficult to determine at times. There may be situations when you do not realize you require oral surgery until it is too late. These include wisdom teeth that grow in impacted but do not cause pain or discomfort. If you’re seeing extreme symptoms, it’s time to see an oral surgeon. At Grace Dental, we perform oral surgical procedures tailored to your personal needs to solve various dental problems.

When Are Dental Implants Necessary?

Dental implants help to maintain a healthy bite by firmly holding the artificial replacement tooth in place while also keeping the jawbone healthy by preventing bone degeneration. When a tooth is lost or extracted without being replaced, the jawbone might degenerate from lack of pressure and stimulation that chewing provides. And of course, dental implants replace missing teeth that would otherwise affect your self-esteem and self-confidence. They also enable you to eat comfortably, smile, and laugh without pain, worry, or holding back, creating a big positive impact on your life in general from when you had missing teeth.

Types of Implants

Endosteal Implant
Endosteal implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone to give structural support for the dental crown. Titanium is a popular material for endosteal implants because it is biocompatible — it will not irritate or be rejected by the body. As the bone heals, the metal post is bonded with the jaw bone.
Subperiosteal Implant
Subperiosteal implants are less popular, but they are an excellent choice for patients who do not have enough bone mass to anchor endosteal implants. Subperiosteal implants are put beneath the gums but above the jaw bone.

How Do Dental Implants Function?

Because implants are bonded to your jawbone, they provide strong support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges attached to implants will not slip or shift in your mouth, which is very crucial when eating and speaking. This secure fit makes dentures and bridges, as well as individual crowns placed over implants, feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.
Another advantage of implants is that no surrounding teeth must be prepped or ground down to hold your new replacement tooth/teeth in place. To receive implants, you must have healthy gums and enough bone mass to sustain the implant. Oral cleanliness and regular dental appointments are crucial to the long-term success of dental implants.
