Dental Implants

Dental implants can benefit those who have lost one or more teeth. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium that replaces a damaged or missing natural tooth root. Dental implants are incredibly durable, and they are surgically placed in the jaw to support dentures, crowns, and bridges. Sarasota Dentistry offers single-tooth implants, multiple-teeth implants, full-arch implants, zirconia implants, implant-retained removable dentures, and immediate implants so patients can benefit from same-day restored dental function. In instances where there is not enough bone to support dental implants, this procedure may be combined with bone grafting.

Tooth Extraction

Tooth extraction can be performed to remove one or more teeth that are damaged, decayed, fractured, infected, or that are contributing to tooth crowding, such as wisdom teeth. After tooth extraction, your teeth may shift to fill the missing space, or an oral surgeon at Sarasota Dentistry can fill the space with a dental implant and dentures, a crown, or a bridge. This oral surgery may be combined with bone grafting to prevent and reduce bone loss following extraction.

Bone and Soft Tissue Grafting

Misaligned teeth, periodontal disease, injury, and osteoporosis are some factors that may lead to bone loss in the jaw. If you do not have enough bone in the jaw to support dental implants, bone and soft tissue grafting may be your ideal solution. Bone and tissue grafting can fill in missing bone to increase the height or width of the jawbone, as well as contribute to improved jaw stabilization and bone preservation. Most bone grafting procedures at Sarasota Dentistry are performed using bone from the patient’s body, though some instances may require bone harvested from cadaver donors or animals.
