However, as with any structure, their strength comes from a solid foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, some people may need to prepare a little bit before getting their dental implants. If your teeth or jaw aren\u2019t in the best condition, there are several treatments that could get you there. Here are a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth Extractions Before Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are used often to replace teeth that have recently been lost, but in some circumstances, you may have to make a plan to replace teeth that haven\u2019t been removed yet. If you have a tooth that is seriously infected or on the verge of failure, it\u2019s common for dentists to recommend extracting it and putting a dental implant in its place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, you\u2019ll obviously need to have a tooth extraction performed before getting your dental implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bone Grafts for Dental Implants Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary reason why dental implants are as strong as they are has to do with their connection to the jawbone. However, one of the things that happens often when people lose their teeth is that their jawbone begins to shrink from disuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a consequence, you may not have jaw strength to support a dental implant. In that case, you might need a bone graft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dentist will take a small fraction of bone from elsewhere in the body, or a synthetic bone-like material, and surgically place it in the area of the jaw that needs support. After a period of healing, your jaw will be considerably stronger than it would be otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sinus Lifts For Dental Implant Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sinus lifts are a lot like bone grafts, but are used for a little bit more of a specialized purpose. In particular, they\u2019re done when a dental implant is being placed in the upper jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sinuses are located all across the face, and one of the largest sinus cavities is right next to the upper jaw. If your bone has degraded, there is sometimes a risk of the dental implant penetrating the upper jaw when nothing is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sinus lift consists of a bone graft on the jaw and surgically moving the sinus away from the mouth. Once you\u2019ve healed, you\u2019ll be able to get your dental implant with minimal risk of complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to Bridge Mill Dental Care!
