Ahead of mounting a dental implant in my patients, I examine their gums first. It's vital that they be in good shape. If they need some work, we must do that before going any further.

If the only thing I see is a small amount of blood around your gums, then we can solve the problem with a pill or two. On the contrary, if your gums have been worn away, or if the jawbone has been extensively damaged, we may have to take other measures before you can get your implants.

>From time to time I use bones or bone prosthetics to make the place where I anchor the Haddon Township dental implant root more secure. I always make sure to secure the base before we start to try and put in the implant. It's similar to what you do when you want to build a house. The foundation is always checked to make sure that it is strong and can withstand outside pressures.

After we have taken care of any issues surrounding the jaw, then we'll begin to fasten the implant roots. At my dentistry office in Haddon Township, I am more careful than ever during this stage. The success of this phase will tell if your implant will survive for a long time.

I ask my patients to come in from time to time, so we can determine if your jaw is assuming the implant. Resonance frequency analysis, x-rays or palpation are just some of the methods used to check the implant. Then we will know if it's time to go to the next step where we put in the crown attachment or if it will take some more time to solidify the foundation.

When you visit my Haddon Township dental implant office, I will be very thorough from the very beginning of our time. I like to be sure that what I do and what you have will last for a long, long time.
