Denied For Dental Implants? - Temecula, CA
Let us Help You Reverse The Effects Of Bone Loss
How Bone Loss Affects Your Life
If you’ve spent any significant time without a tooth or even worse, multiple teeth, you’ve likely experienced some degree of bone loss. As time goes on, the bone loss will become more advanced, causing the jawbone to resorb further creating sunken facial features. Fortunately, oral surgeons such as Dr. Whitworth have the knowledge and expertise necessary to put an end to the dreaded bone loss and can even reverse it.
If you have experienced bone loss and have sought help from a general dentist, they are likely to turn you away depending on the severity of the bone loss. This happens due to lack of necessary training to be able to perform procedures such as complex bone graft cases or zygomatic dental implants. Dr. Whitworth and his team of experts have spent years addressing severe bone loss issues and making dental implant treatment possible for those who were previously told it wasn’t an option. With cutting-edge technology, advanced techniques, and years of experience, Dr. Whitworth has helped patients who felt like their dream of having a perfect smile was ruined, achieve their goals with those very procedures. You no longer have to settle for less than your smile deserves. With us, you can finally have the strong, stable, and beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
What Causes Bone Loss?
Bone loss can start in a variety of different ways such as missing teeth, periodontitis or peri-implantitis, oral trauma, or genetics. After losing a tooth, patients will experience about a 25% loss in bone after just one year if left untreated. Gum disease can cause the jawbone to shrink and recede if not properly treated. Once the infection spreads, the body will try to fight it by breaking down the bone, causing the teeth to become loose, fall out, or have to be removed. Once a tooth is lost, it can cause the jawbone to also shrink and recede as the tooth’s root is no longer stimulating the jawbone to preserve it. After losing a tooth, choosing the right oral health expert is crucial, which is why it’s necessary to seek treatment from an experienced oral surgeon such as Dr. Whitworth. General dentists are often unable to provide a solution to bone loss and will not be able to place implants if the bone loss is too severe.
We Can Help You In A Way General Dentists Can’t
Knowing the options available to you is vital in order to keep yourself in peak oral health. Since many patients may be seeing a general dentist instead of an oral surgeon, it’s possible many of them aren’t aware of the variety of options available to help treat and fix their bone loss problems. Bone grafting, for example, is the primary method of replacing missing bone, but for patients who don’t want to have a bone graft, there is another option: zygomatic dental implants. Our zygomatic dental implants are full mouth dental implants that need very little bone mass in the jaw as they connect into the cheek bone.
Because general dentists are unable to perform this type of procedure, many patients who come seeking help from Dr. Whitworth weren’t made aware this solution exists by the doctor that treated them the first time around.
Dr. Whitworth and our team of experts have the ability to properly attack the problem head on in a variety of ways due to the extensive, comprehensive techniques and training oral surgeons undergo. A brand new, complete smile is possible, and you can enjoy it for a lifetime!
