Dental Implants Combined with Existing Teeth
There are many situations where a patient might want to save their remaining natural teeth and not have them extracted. Natural teeth support the muscle attachments of the lips and face. Removal of natural teeth might therefore result in a permanent distortion of the lips or face. Loss of anterior (front) natural teeth can also occasionally cause changes in one’s speech. Whenever it is possible, remaining strong teeth roots should be saved by combining them with dental implants for additional support and stability. In cases involving loose teeth as a result of periodontal disease, adding strategically placed dental implants can remove some of the bite pressure off these teeth. This can possibly help remaining teeth last much longer in the mouth.
Although the dental literature reports that this is not possible, I can tell you with certainty that this procedure can, in fact, be successful. I have successfully connected dental implants to thousands of natural teeth for over forty-five years. The key to the success of this procedure is based on an understanding of dental forces of mastication (chewing) and the dynamics of occlusion (how teeth meet and work with each other) and how they both play a significant role in how an individual’s mouth functions. These factors, combined with a correct diagnosis and a unique custom prosthetic treatment plan and case design, can lead to a predictable and successful result.

We offer state of the art Advanced Diagnostic Precision with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for patients considering Dental Implants
At our office we are committed to providing the highest standard of dental implant care by using cutting-edge technologies like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). CBCT is a revolutionary new medical imaging method that offers three-dimensional visualization of teeth, bone structure, and the individual unique anatomical variations of your bone in the oral cavity. This advanced technology is extremely important for precise surgical planning and placement of dental implants.
CBCT technology can be used to identify critical structures such as arteries, veins, nerves, and sinuses, ensuring that dental implants are placed safely. CBCT and technology surpasses traditional dental X-rays by revealing pathologies that are otherwise hard to detect, including the extent of periodontal bone loss and other dent problems that are not visible on conventional radiographs.
Despite its higher cost, the detailed insights provided by CBCT are invaluable, making dental procedures safer and more predictable. This ensures that our practice can achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients, enhancing both safety and success in dental implant surgeries.
Embrace the future of dental diagnostics with us and experience care that’s not just better, but safer and more precise.
