[b][East Sheen, 25 July 2016][/b] - Whilst once lacking adequate bone density was a barrier to implant treatment, thanks to advances in oral surgery techniques it is now possible for more people than ever before to enjoy the benefits of treatment with dental implants.

[b]Advantages of Implant Treatment[/b]

Dental implants are the only permanent way for a dentist to replace missing teeth. They act as replacement tooth roots and hold crowns, dentures, or bridges firmly in place. One of the key advantages of dental implants is that they help to prevent bone loss, a common side-effect of tooth loss.

Sheen Dental provides implant treatment for anything from simple cases to complex full-mouth restorations where additional work is required to rebuild the jaw bone density prior to implant surgery. Anyone whose dentist has told them they are unsuitable for implant treatment because of bone loss is urged to contact Sheen Dental for a second opinion.

[b]Counteracting Bone Loss – The Options[/b]

The implantology team at Sheen Dental use the latest technology, including CT scans and x-rays, to assess your current level of bone density. Low bone density is often seen in those who:

- Have had several missing teeth for some time
- Have worn removable dentures for a long period
- Have suffered advanced periodontal disease

Underlying conditions such as periodontal (gum) disease will be treated prior to any dental implants treatments, to maximise their chances of success. The unique collection of dental professionals at Sheen Dental can treat such problems in-house, to prepare your mouth for receiving dental implants.

[b]Bone Grafts[/b]

The Sheen Dental team can provide bone grafts using either your own bone or artificial bone chips to rebuild bone density prior to dental implants being placed.

[b]Bone Expansion[/b]

Bone expansion involves enlarging the surface area of your jaw bone prior to placing dental implants. This can be done under sedation at Sheen Dental.

[b]Sinus Lifts[/b]

This involves packing bone graft material into the sinus cavity, so that dental implants can be placed in the upper jaw.
