A Permanent Solution
Dental implants are the most durable and functionally effective solution for the restoration of tooth loss. The most common indications for dental implant surgery are: root canal failure, tooth decay, trauma to the mouth, gum disease, congenital defects and excessive wear and tear.
For maximum effectiveness, these Columbus dental implants are used in conjunction with other restorative procedures. Dental implants provide support to crowns which replace missing teeth, and secure dental bridges when multiple teeth are missing. They also stabilize dentures and reduce gum irritation.
Dental implantation can be done at any time after adolescence or when bone growth is complete. To evaluate candidacy for dental implant surgery, this Columbus Endodontist first determines bone density and quantity. He will also conduct a comprehensive oral examination and patient history. Certain conditions, such as periodontal disease, cancer or active diabetes may require additional treatment before the implant procedure can be performed.
Dr Scott Schumann is a Columbus dentist using the newest technological advancements available in implant strategy. Dental implants can now be placed into the locations of newly extracted teeth. Because the Osseointegration process is accelerated, this new treatment can shed months off of the treatment time associated with dental implants.
Advanced Alternatives
Mini dental implants are narrower implants used for small teeth and incisors. Candidates for mini dental implantation include those whose missing tooth is located in a narrow area, or who need stabilization of pre-molar teeth or lower jaw dentures.
Advantages for this advanced Columbus implant procedure are myriad:
- Mini dental implants cost less than their counterparts.
- They are almost half the width of traditional implants.
- During the narrow implant procedure, the implant is not fully submerged.
- Grafting is not necessary should implant failure occur, due to the small size of the implant.
- Even though they do not contain a screw, mini implants are still solid.
