Why Healthy Bone Matters

Do you ever feel anxious about visiting the dentist? If so, you’re not alone. Dental anxiety can be a real challenge, often stemming from past experiences that left us feeling uncomfortable or in pain during or after dental procedures. At Flathead Dental Implant Arts in Kalispell, MT, we understand the impact of dental anxiety on your oral health and overall well-being.

Dr. Dave Dodrill Dodrill and our team are here to help by offering various types of dental anesthesia, and we’ll take the time to discuss each one’s benefits. We aim to create a soothing and gentle dental experience that exceeds your expectations. If you’re searching for sedation anesthesia near you, look no further – you’ve found the right implant center! Your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities.

Severe Bone Loss Causes

Your tooth roots are firmly embedded in your jaws and help keep the bone healthy through the ongoing stimulation of chewing. Without those roots, the jaw loses its function and can begin to deteriorate in areas where teeth are no longer present. Tooth loss due to decay or oral trauma is a common reason for this. If you have dentures, while they give you back most of your dental function (your diet may be somewhat limited), they don’t replace the tooth roots you’ve lost. Dentures don’t provide protection for your jaws. Advanced gum disease, or periodontitis, is another common cause of bone loss, and occurs when the bacteria eat away at the jawbone underneath the gums.

Severe Bone Loss Solutions

Bone grafting treatments make jawbone loss reversible. With bone grafting we take bone material samples from you or from a donor source and place them in areas of recession. These materials eventually bond with the existing bone to reestablish strong, full bone volume. With ridge augmentation and ridge preservation we can use bone graft material to rebuild and reshape your jawbone, returning it to an earlier, healthier state. We can then help you regain your dental function and aesthetics with dental implants in Whitefish & Kalispell, MT.

The Science Behind The Ridge Splitting Technique

If your jawbone isn’t wide enough to support dental implants, ridge splitting, or dividing of the jawbone with surgical instruments, can be effective. After separating the jaw’s bony ridge, we can add bone graft material in the middle. Once this material fuses with the existing bone, you end up with a wider, deeper jaw ridge that can hold dental implants securely. Dental implants will not only protect your jawbone from future recession, they’ll vastly improve your confidence and your overall quality of life, enabling you to eat, speak, and smile comfortably again.
