As implant success rates soar, and more and more patients are finding the benefits of replacing teeth, or even a single tooth, with this titanium technology, it is becoming even more important to understand how you can achieve the best result.
“The first thing to consider is the number
of implants that your dentist has surgically placed,” advises Dr. Denine Rice,
one of the Inland Empire’s Top
Dentists. “With experience comes expertise.”
Peridontists are a specialty that focuses
on gum tissue, and while the implant will be placed in the bone, it is
important to have someone who is well knowledgeable about how to prevent tissue
from “sloughing” or having other tissue damage. “Your gum tissue is the frame
for your smile,” adds Dr. Rice, it is important to make sure that what can be
seen is beautiful, while what is unseen, the implant, is structurally sound.”
Having a 99% success rate is what draws patients to Dr. Rice.
While your peridontist may be the best person
to surgically place your implant, it is your general dentist who has the
expertise to place the final restoration. “Working together has many benefits.
One is that the patient has two professionals both working to make sure the end
result is stable and esthetic. Another is that the patient will be benefiting
from the expertise of each individual,” says Dr. Rice.
