How Osseointegration Creates Stability

osseointegration livonia miLosing a tooth happens, and when it does, it’s important to know where to go. Your local dentist can help you to understand what options are out there for you, and they can also help you to address whatever it is that caused the tooth loss in the first place. There are some traditional prosthodontic possibilities like dental bridges and partial dentures, which have been used for decades in renewing smiles. Then there is dental implant placement, which relies on osseointegration to create a secure foundation for a smile repair.

Here at our office in Livoni, Dr. James R. Stewart, Jr., D.D.S. helps people move on with their lives after adult tooth loss strikes. We’re driven to create real smile success stories right here in our community, and we know that renewing a set of teeth after losing a tooth is a big step. We also know that dental implants are offering a level of smile security that just can’t be found with other methods, so take the time to learn about how osseointegration works to connect bone to metal. This innovative approach to oral health has really changed the game.

Titanium offers a connection directly to bone tissue in the jaw. To find out more about dental implants and osseointegration, reach out to Dr. James R. Stewart, D.D.S.
