Considering osseous surgery and dental implant? Help!?

by ampersandyslexia

I have a gap between my front teeth and it seems to be getting larger. My dentist said that I have periodontal disease and need to have osseous surgery and possible dental implants. I want to assess the gap first, one of my front tooth looks like its rotting. My dentist also says there may be a crack also. My Inquiry is “Must I get the dental establish first or have the osseous surgery?”

Osseous surgery is just a fancy term for getting a bone graft. It’s a very pricey procedure, as is getting dental implants. As with all pricey treatments, it’s wise to get a following opinion as to whether they’re really necessary, and whether they’ll even work in your particular case.

Your first concern must be dealing with the periodontal disease, and the decay and possible crack in your front tooth. If the decay is deep, and the crack is severe, then the tooth structure is so naughtily hurt that a crown may be your only solution. Or, the tooth may be beyond renovate. If that’s the case, and the tooth does need to be pulled, a join is a much simpler, quicker, & cheaper option than a dental establish.

A join is just an artificial tooth (in effect a porcelain-over-metal crown, but with a levelheaded metal core) attached to two crowns. The crowns are everlastingly roofed over the teeth on either side of the gone one. This would also get rid of your tooth gap.

If you were to get an establish, be aware that once the tooth has been pulled, you need to wait at smallest amount 3 months for the bone to re-grow and be converted into levelheaded enough for the establish to be inserted. The insertion administer involves drilling a hole into the bone, by one after another larger drill bits, then screwing in the establish, putting a tiny metal cap on top of it, and leave-taking it there for another 3 months or so, for it to integrate with the bone. Only then, can impressions be full to make a pontic (artificial tooth) to go on top of the establish. Since we’re talking in this area one of your front teeth, your appearance during that time will be an issue.

As a approximate assess, crowns cost in this area $ 1000 each, so a 3-tooth join (2 abutments & one pontic) would cost nearly $ 3000. An establish (just the tiny bit that goes into your jawbone) costs nearly $ 1800, not counting the pontic that goes on top of it ($ 1000+), and bone graft surgery will add another $ 1000-$ 2000.

All things painstaking, I’d go for the join. It’s a much quicker and simpler procedure, mainly on front teeth (which is where my own bridgework is).

But, really, your primary concern is the periodontal disease, and the decay & crack in your front tooth.

Hi! I’ve been in dentistry for over 25 being. Yes, you can have an establish removed and the bone will grow back somewhat, but I’m confused in this area why you would do this. This would leave a gap in your backtalk without a tooth and cause problems with chewing and the over all look itself. If the establish has failed, and some times they do, then of course have it removed and wait to replace it at a shortly date. You may need to have some bone grafting, but speak to your dentist and be sure this is the best choice and wisest business to do. If you have any other questions, PLEASE feel free to question. Marie

If you have already have an establish in place, why wouldn’t you just want to leave it in place? What is the reasoning for removing it? Once you take out it, everything will heal back, but there are other complications that will occur like shifting of your teeth.

SHANE,
YES, A DENTAL IMPLANT CAN BE REMOVED, BUT THERE WILL BE A NEED FOR A BONE GRAFT AFTERWARD.
THE BONE WILL NOT JUST FILL IN THE DAMAGE COMPLETEY CAUSED WHEN THE IMPLANT IS REMOVED
