Why Would You Be Told You Can’t Have A Dental Implant?

Why Would You Be Told You Can’t Have A Dental Implant?

Have you ever lost a tooth and your dentist told you that you are not a candidate for a dental implant? Or maybe you have had a dental implant that failed?  Why would this be the case?!  Why wouldn’t anyone be able to get an implant that wants one?

It could be that the bone in your dental ridge is not wide enough or deep enough to hold an implant in place.  In this case, the solution is a ridge…

What You Need to Know about Ridge Augmentation Procedures

When the health of the mouth is assessed, the dentist looks into a few structures: the teeth, the gums, the tongue, the lips, the soft tissue lining of the cheeks, palate and the state of the jaw. The jaw bone, composed of an upper and lower component functions to permit articulation through the temporomandibular joint, which a joint that hinges the lower jaw to the socket, found on by the area of the ear. The jaw bone also holds the teeth, the alveolar bone has areas called alveolar socket where the teeth emerge. At health, the bone is expected to be at sufficient height to support the tooth; and along with the periodontal fibers, will hold the teeth in position to permit proper stability and function.

When Bone Health is Compromised

Gum Disease is the most important culprit of bone destruction, but there are other pathologies and conditions that may cause the bone to diminish. It begins with plaque accumulation that goes out of control, it disrupts the health of the soft tissue and penetrates into the bone, destroying it. When bone is lost, the tooth within the socket becomes mobile and its existence in the bone is put at a great risk.

Another thing that compromises bone health is bone resorption. Bone resorption is a phenomenon that follows after tooth extraction. When a tooth is lost, the bone remodels to fill the socket and some resorption is expected. When a person loses his tooth or teeth early in life, he is at risk of losing much of his bone at an older age. More so, long-time denture wearers subject their jaws to much of the force and damage, so bone is lost.

When bone health is compromised, ridge augmentation is the patient’s only hope in restoring health. Ridge augmentation procedures may be performed to repair bone after a fracture, to stabilize a mobile tooth that has lost bone and to improve bone quality and quantity for future prosthetic or implant work. When the dentist looks into the patient’s mouth, he assesses the overall condition of the mouth, including the bone, to determine how to best go about with the treatment procedure. When bone is compromised, the need to rehabilitate the jaw bone will be prescribed and ridge augmentation procedure using natural or synthetic bone is performed.

Success or Fail

Ridge augmentation procedures are performed by incising the gum, inserting the harvested or synthetic bone graft and then closing it with a membrane that initiates healing. The success and failure of this procedure is determine after a few weeks to months --- sometimes the patient is lucky because the ridge augmentation procedure performed initiate positive healing of bone and some new bone is formed, but at times it is not the case. Often, a dentist is able to assess whether or not the grafting procedure is worth doing or not. Vertical bone loss, although presenting much loss and mobility often meet better success than its counterpart, horizontal bone loss, where significant height is destroyed.
