Missing teeth can affect your confidence, oral health, and overall quality of life. Consulting OC dental implants specialists at Newport Oral Surgery provides a safe and effective solution. With advanced techniques, personalized treatment plans, and a team of experienced oral surgeons, patients regain both functionality and aesthetics.
Understanding OC Dental Implants
OC dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with the bone, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached. Benefits include:
Permanent replacement for missing teeth
Preservation of jawbone and facial structure
Improved chewing and speaking ability
Enhanced smile aesthetics
Implants closely mimic natural teeth, providing a durable and comfortable solution.
The Implant Placement Process
The process for OC dental implants is precise and carefully planned:
Consultation and Assessment – Oral examination, X-rays, and 3D imaging to evaluate bone structure and overall oral health.
Treatment Planning – Personalized plan tailored to the patient’s needs and goals.
Surgical Implant Placement – Titanium post placed under anesthesia or sedation.
Healing and Osseointegration – The implant fuses with the jawbone over several months.
Restoration – A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached, restoring function and appearance.
This method ensures optimal results and long-term success.
Benefits of OC Dental Implants
OC dental implants offer several advantages over traditional dentures or bridges:
Durability: Long-lasting with proper care
Functionality: Restores natural chewing and speech
Bone Preservation: Stimulates jawbone to prevent deterioration
Aesthetic Appeal: Natural-looking crowns match your teeth
Comfort: Feels and functions like natural teeth
Patients experience improved self-confidence and oral health with implants.
Who is a Candidate?
Most healthy adults missing one or more teeth can benefit from OC dental implants. Candidates should:
Have adequate jawbone density
Be in good overall health
Maintain proper oral hygiene
Patients with insufficient bone may qualify after bone grafting, which rebuilds the jaw to support implants.
Bone Grafting for Successful Implants
Bone grafting is a common procedure to prepare patients for OC dental implants. Newport Oral Surgery provides:
Ridge augmentation and sinus lifts to restore bone
Use of donor or patient’s own bone for grafting
Guided tissue regeneration to promote bone growth
Improved implant stability and long-term success
Bone grafting ensures a solid foundation for durable and functional implants.
