Patients with tooth loss are welcome to ask our staff about the benefits of dental implants to complete their smile when tooth loss occurs—while providing a permanent solution.
What are dental implants?
Dr. Jamil Alkhoury describes dental implants as tooth root replacements made of a biocompatible material call titanium metal. An implant looks like a small screw that is placed during oral surgery into the bone of the jaw, providing a foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are incredibly versatile and can be used in many situations.
Who is a candidate?
Determining candidacy is done during an evaluation with Dr. Jamil Alkhoury. X-rays are taken to see if there is sufficient bone structure to successfully place an implant into the bone. This ensures the process of osseointegration occurs, where the natural bone wraps around the restoration and holds it firmly in place. Patients who are not candidates for dental implants are better suited for alternatives such a dental bridges or dentures.
