Dental implants are increasingly being used as part of major smile makeovers where multiple and quite complex treatments may be required to replace teeth and restore smiles. Often treatments need to be carried out in a specific order so that the very best results can be obtained. This is certainly true where orthodontics and Dental Implants are concerned. If you are considering having an extensive amount of work carried out to improve the appearance of your teeth or your dental health, then it’s quite possible that orthodontics may form part of your Treatment plan. Getting your teeth into the correct alignment can be very beneficial, but it’s most likely that your Orthodontic Treatment will need to be completed first before you can think about having dental implants Upper East Side.

Advantage Of Orthodontic Treatment Before Implants

Dental implants consist of a small titanium alloy post that is inserted into your jawbone during a small surgical procedure. Afterwards, the post must be left to heal or integrate with the surrounding bone. This process is called osseointegration and is where new bone cells grow on and around the post which is often been specially treated to encourage this. Once the post is fully integrated it is extremely strong and stable and is able to support an implant tooth. After this, it’s preferable that the implant post isn’t moved in any way. Additionally, orthodontic treatment can be planned to help provide more space for dental implants to be successfully placed. This can help provide better aesthetic results so that once the implant teeth are finally restored, they should look amazing in your newly straightened smile.

The Role of Orthodontics in Implant Dentistry

Very occasionally it’s possible that dental implant treatment may be completed before orthodontic treatment. This might be the case if it’s necessary to use a dental implant as an anchorage point, helping to provide additional forces to reposition teeth as required. If this is the case then you would need to get the dental implant inserted into your jaw before your braces are fitted (Read more: Dental Implants Instead of Braces). If you are missing teeth in an area not affected by orthodontic treatment, then it might also be possible to have dental implants before you finish wearing braces.

How to Find the Right Dentist

It is quite complicated and is something that will be considered very carefully by your dental implant dentist. Certainly an experienced implant dentist such as Dr. Navid Rahmani is used to working with other specialists.
