I cracked a tooth, had it removed, and had a dental implant placed. Because of this, I can say that dental implants are usually the best choice for replacing missing teeth. And yes, I asked my colleague Dr. George to do the procedure for me.
The placement of dental implants is a specialty procedure, and our surgeons are all board-certified, meaning we have been vetted by our peers during a rigorous national written exam and interview. We are the only office in Sioux Falls where all the surgeons are board-certified. Siouxland Oral Surgery has also passed national accreditation from Triple-AHC and is still the only office to do so in the Sioux Falls region.
Dental implants promote healthy bone growth by providing a replacement for your missing tooth root. The implant fuses directly with the jawbone, creating a secure foundation which stimulates the jawbone just like your natural tooth root. This also provides a secure base for the new crown, restoring your smile and oral function. When the final restoration is complete, your dental implant can last a lifetime if you maintain a normal oral hygiene routine and regular dental cleanings.
Dental implants are the only tooth restoration option that positively impacts the health of your surrounding natural teeth. Crowns and bridges wear down over time, the cement that holds them breaks down, and cavities start, causing your healthy teeth to break or decay. In addition, these alternatives do not stimulate the jawbone, resulting in deterioration over time due to low usage.
When this occurs, not only must the original treatment be redone, but additional expenditures on procedures, such as bone grafting, may be necessary to restore your oral health. By selecting dental implants as your primary restorative solution, you can forgo the secondary investment and enjoy the savings that presents itself over time.
