Whether you have just one tooth replaced by an implant or several, professional cleanings will be necessary to keep your implants healthy. Dental implants can accumulate plaque and tartar just as teeth can. Once your dental implant restoration is completed, it is important to keep the area clean and free of infection. This also allows us to work closely and smoothly with your restorative dentist to ensure an ideal result for your dental implants. We have special 3D software that allows us to evaluate your bone quality, bone quantity, and bone location for the best possible placement of your dental implants. In these cases, various types of bone grafting can be done at the same time the tooth is removed to facilitate the placement of a dental implant at a later date. When a tooth needs to be removed due to infection, it is not uncommon to have bone loss around the infected tooth. Often the area of choice is from the chin or in the back of the jaw where your wisdom teeth used to be. In these cases, it is often necessary to "borrow" bone from another area of your mouth to graft into the deficient area. Occasionally, ideal areas where dental implants are to be placed do not have sufficient bone quantity to predictably place the implants. This new bone graft typically takes nine to 12 months to heal before the dental implants can be placed into the grafted bone. Before new implants replace the lost teeth, a sinus lift augmentation or graft relocates the sinus cavity into its original position and replaces the bone that has been lost as a result of the enlarged sinus.
