The best permanent tooth replacement treatment available to Orem people who are missing teeth are dental implants.
A dental implant is a metal (ideally titanium) rod implanted into the bone to replace the missing root. The crown and supporting structure are securely and permanently attached to the rod. Titanium is amazingly strong and extremely well tolerated by the human body. There are very few instances of rejection. In fact, most Orem implant dentists are not familiar with any such cases.
Tooth implants offer a long-term solution to tooth loss. Are you a good Orem candidate for tooth implant surgery?
Because the metal rod is anchored into the jaw bone, it is essential that you have enough healthy bone at the implant site. Dr. Chris Hammond can determine if you do.
Age is rarely a factor. Dental implants have proved to be successful for Orem people of all ages. Dr. Chris Hammond provide comprehensive cosmetic dental care for every member of the family.
There are a few medical issues that may affect your eligibility for implants. These include diabetes, osteoporosis, radiation therapy for cancer, parathyroid disorders, bone disorders and leukemia. The presence of one or more of these conditions does not necessarily mean an implant cannot work for you; discuss any health issues with Dr. Chris Hammond during your implant consultation.
Hammond Aesthetic & General Dentistry is located at 3575 North 100 East, Suite 200 in Provo. Call 801-374-0070 to schedule an implant dentistry consultation.
