The best permanent tooth replacement treatment available to Boise people who are missing teeth are dental implants.
A dental implant is a metal (ideally titanium) rod implanted into the bone to replace the missing root. The crown and supporting structure are securely and permanently attached to the rod. Titanium is amazingly strong and extremely well tolerated by the human body. There are very few instances of rejection. In fact, most Boise implant dentists are not familiar with any such cases.
Tooth implants offer a long-term solution to tooth loss. Are you a good candidate for tooth implant surgery?
Because the metal rod is anchored into the jaw bone, it is essential that you have enough healthy bone at the implant site. Drs. Lynn R. & Craig Blaisdell can determine if you do.
Age is rarely a factor. Dental implants have proved to be successful for Meridian people of all ages. Drs. Lynn R. & Craig Blaisdell provide comprehensive dental care for every member of the family.
There are a few medical issues that may affect your eligibility for implants. These include diabetes, osteoporosis, radiation therapy for cancer, parathyroid disorders, bone disorders and leukemia. The presence of one or more of these conditions does not necessarily mean implant dentistry cannot work for you; discuss any health issues with Drs. Lynn R. & Craig Blaisdell during your implant consultation.
Blaisdell Family Dentistry is located at 8877 W Hackamore Dr in Boise. Call 208.922.6902 to schedule an implant consultation.
