DENTAL TOPICS by Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M. Carpenter OPTIONS FOR IMPLANT ANCHORS There are usually several options available when dealing with a "bad tooth" that needs extraction. "Endosteal implants" are the most common type of artificial root system to hold a replacement tooth in place. They are usually titanium screws that fit into the jaw and extrude through the gum. If there is not enough viable jawbone to hold an endosteal implant, "subperiosteal implants" may be an option. These implants are placed on or above the jawbone. Less common options include bone augmentation to restore the jawbone prior to implants; ridge expansion, which adds bone grafts to a bridge along the top of the jaw; and sinus augmentation, which adds bone below the sinus. P.S. The process of getting a tooth implant with an endosteal or other form of anchor usually takes several months and involves one or two oral surgeries. Implants allow people to enjoy a healthy and varied diet without the restrictions some denture wearers face, and they often bring a renewed sense of self- confidence by eliminating the day- to-day frustrations and discomfort of ill-fitting dentures. People with implants often say they feel better, look better, and live better. If you think implants may be for you, call us, 570.331.0909, for a consultation. A visit to CARPENTER DENTAL, 1086 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort, may be just what you need to enhance your quality of life. Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M.
