When you visit our Falmouth office, you receive care from specialists who understand the intricate relationship between gum health and overall oral function.
Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Dental implants have become the preferred method for replacing missing teeth because they function like natural tooth roots. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants integrate with your jawbone to provide stable, long-lasting support for replacement teeth. Research shows that with proper care, dental implants can last for decades.
Our practice offers implant solutions for every situation:
| • |
Single Missing Tooth - A single tooth implant replaces one tooth without grinding down adjacent healthy teeth.
|
| • |
Several Missing Teeth - Multiple tooth implants can replace a section of missing teeth with individual implants or an implant-supported bridge.
|
| • |
Full Arch Replacement - All-on-4 implants replace an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants.
|
| • |
Denture Stabilization - Implant retained dentures snap onto implants for improved stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures. |
Treating Gum Disease at Every Stage
Gum disease progresses through stages, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. The earlier treatment begins, the better the outcome. Our periodontists are trained to identify the symptoms of gum disease and intervene before permanent damage occurs.
Treatment options include:
| • |
Non-Surgical Therapy - Scaling and root planing removes bacterial deposits from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to promote healing.
|
| • |
Laser Treatment - Laser periodontal therapy targets diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums, often with less discomfort and faster recovery.
|
| • |
Osseous Surgery - Osseous surgery reshapes damaged bone and eliminates deep pockets where bacteria thrive.
|
| • |
Regenerative Procedures - Bone grafting and tissue regeneration techniques can rebuild structures lost to disease. |
Preparing for Dental Implants
Not everyone is immediately ready for dental implant placement. Successful implants require adequate bone density and healthy gum tissue. Our periodontists evaluate each patient thoroughly to determine candidacy for dental implants and identify any preparatory procedures that may be needed.
Common preparatory treatments include:
| • |
Bone Grafting - Adds bone volume to areas where the jaw has deteriorated due to tooth loss or gum disease.
|
| • |
Sinus Lift - Sinus lift procedures create space for implants in the upper jaw by gently lifting the sinus membrane.
|
| • |
Ridge Augmentation - Ridge augmentation rebuilds the contour of the jawbone after tooth extraction.
|
| • |
Socket Preservation - Tooth socket graft procedures maintain bone volume at extraction sites to prepare for future implants. |
