An Internationally Recognized Expert in Dental Implant Surgery

It pays to seek the expertise of a celebrated professional when inquiring about dental implants. Working with one of the field's finest periodontists can make preliminary work as stress-free as can be, and they ensure the implant placement is nothing short of a success.

Dr. Caudry is a leading periodontist, a skilled surgeon, and a celebrated dental implant specialist.

Needless to say, there are few practicing periodontists in our area with a background quite like Dr. Caudry.

Follow-Up Care for Your Dental Implants

When you rely on the expertise of Dr. Caudry and her staff, you should expect one or several follow-up appointments. These appointments typically entail a thorough examination of the patient's oral health and the condition of the dental implant in the months following surgery. The period between follow-up appointments can vary depending on the individual case, but typically ranges from a few weeks to a few months.

During a follow-up appointment, one of Dr. Caudry's team members may take x-rays to assess the implant's stability and check for any signs of bone loss or infection. They may also examine the implant site and surrounding gum tissue for any signs of inflammation or other issues.

Proper Cleaning Is Key

We may also clean the implant and surrounding teeth, check the patient's bite to ensure that the implant is functioning properly, and provide instructions on how to maintain good oral hygiene and care for the implant.

Regular follow-up appointments are important to ensure a dental implant's long-term success and address any issues that may arise early on. As a patient, you should attend all scheduled follow-up appointments and notify us if you experience any pain or discomfort around the implant site between appointments. Minor discomfort is normal in the beginning, but after several weeks or months, pain signals underlying issues.

We take pride in our skills as periodontists and oral surgeons, but our surgical prowess comes second to our ability to care for patients. Do you have concerns over comfort levels during a dental implant placement session? Do you have questions about the sedation we use or the sanitization of our facilities? Ask us whatever questions come to mind. Our answers will surely put you at ease.

We believe in giving our patients the best service possible. This requires us to make sure their entire experience is wonderful from start to finish.

Between Dr. Caudry and her "dream team" staff, we make sure you're looked after from the moment you walk through our doors to the moment you leave. We would never dream of offering anything less.

When you come to our facilities for a consultation or oral procedure, we are not simply improving the appearance of your teeth. Our work runs much deeper than that. Dr. Caudry and her team work wonders in order to improve or preserve the health of your teeth and gums-because that is what is the most important. Without healthy gums, new dental implants—and your existing natural teeth—may not last as long as you hope. The secret to long-lasting teeth and a clean bill of health lies in a commitment to dental hygiene. That’s why we take all the time needed to ensure you walk away with a firm understanding of proper oral care.

Given the importance of oral hygiene, it only makes sense that you should seek out one of the most reputable periodontists in the region.

Serious About Oral Health

As serious as we are about crafting picture-perfect smiles, we are even more serious about our patients' oral health. There is no point in undergoing dental implant surgery if your oral health puts you at risk of losing the dental implants in the near future. That is why we prioritize a full-spectrum, comprehensive approach to oral care.

Do you have pre-existing health conditions? Have you been living with gum disease for several years? These might put you at risk of dental implant failure—but that does not mean we cannot take steps to mitigate the risks associated with gum disease and other issues. Proper oral care goes a long way. The problem is that many people were not shown how to properly care for their teeth at an early age. Thankfully, professionals like those on Dr. Caudry’s staff are here to show patients the way. We are serious about oral health—and we are serious about helping you.

It goes without saying that we are serious about oral health-but that isn't the only thing we are serious about. We also think it is important to stress the seriousness of oral hygiene to patients, as well. Being the sort of professionals that patients only visit a few days a year, there is only so much we can do to ensure an individual's teeth and gums remain healthy. We strive to teach our patients how to care for their teeth at home. The more patients know about dental care, the sooner they'll be able to bring minor issues to us when they arise.

Dental Implants: Then and Now

Many of our patients are unaware of the great strides that have been made in the field of dental implantology. Rest assured, things have progressed significantly over the last ten to twenty years. Presently, few people can tell the difference between a dental implant and a natural tooth.

History of Dental Implants

We believe in educating our patients. The more knowledge you have about our practices, the more comfortable you'll feel about your decision to work with us. That is why we always take time to answer your questions, whatever they may be. We often receive questions regarding the nature of the dental implant itself-are they safe, when were they invented, etc.

Dental implants are a miracle of the modern age. Though there had been primitive forms of dentures and false teeth prior to the mid-20th century, there had been little to no success in surgical implantology. It wasn't until the 1950s that significant strides were made in the field.

The first of many innovations in implantology came about in the year 1952. The Swedish medical researcher Dr. Per-Ingevar Branemark made the chance discovery that titanium integrated with the bone after noticing that a rabbit's femur had fused with a titanium cylinder. This would prove to be a major 'aha' moment. Soon after this discovery, Branemark changed the direction of his work to investigate further the body's ability to tolerate titanium-a process that came to be known as 'osseointegration.'

The first time the process of osseointegration was attempted in the field of dentistry was in 1965. Branemark placed a titanium dental implant into a human volunteer, and with great success. From there, things began to move quickly. Presently, dental implants are considered the best solution for missing teeth.

The Cost of Dental Implants

With each passing day, we encounter another patient that is unsure whether the price of a dental implant is worth the benefits. While costs might vary depending on the nature of the surgical procedures and your insurance plans, we're confident you'll see the value in the restoration of oral health-and the restoration of your smile.

Are you concerned about the cost of your dental implant surgery? Does the sight of the bill alarm you more than the sound of a dentist's drill? We understand the concerns that run through our patients' minds. That is why we try to be as transparent as possible during the billing process. The more you know going forward, the more comfortable you'll be in your decision to work with us.

All patients are different. One person's dental implant procedure might require extensive pre-operative procedures if they have gum disease or other issues that need addressing. Another person might need gum or bone grafts before they can receive their implants. For these reasons and many others, the fees for treatment greatly vary.

In order to ensure you do not pay one cent more than necessary, we perform a thorough examination at the very outset. This tells us everything we need to know to give you a fair quote. With this quote, you will have all the facts and figures you need to make an informed decision. You will know what expenses await you, and you'll also know the full extent of the dental implant planning process.

Would you like to know how much dental implants might cost? Schedule a consultation at our facilities. During your consultation, we will tell you everything you need to know. During the examination process, we will also learn the true extent of your oral health issues. With our findings, we will be able to give you a clear picture of possible future treatments.

Affordable Dental Implants: Dental Care Accessible to All

We believe that dental care in all its forms should be available to everyone. After all, oral health is not separate from overall health. There are simply too many problems that can arise from tooth decay, missing teeth, and other similar issues. For these reasons and more, we strive to offer affordable and accessible oral health services.

Our services are priced with the patient in mind. We base the fees for our services on the Ontario Dental Association's current periodontal fee guide. Once you see a little more of what we can do for you, you'll realize that dental implants are worth it. We can restore your smile to its former glory while also restoring your health-and your sense of confidence. With us, you truly do receive a three-fold reward.

Getting the Most Out of Your Dental Implants

A new dental implant is not a band-aid solution to oral health issues. It is also not a preventative measure against gum disease or gingivitis. Your new, natural-looking implant requires regular upkeep. We thoroughly educate our patients on the ways of proper oral care during your post-operative sessions. Be sure to ask us any questions or concerns you have along the way and we'll help guide you in the proper aftercare.

Looking After Your Implant

Many believe the benefits of dental implants justify whatever their cost may be. People feel this way because a well-placed dental implant can last as long as a natural tooth, if not longer. That said, there is much work that needs to be done to ensure you get the most out of your new teeth.

You must treat your dental implant with great care. Once we place an implant in the gums, it is not different from a natural tooth. An implant can fall victim to many of the same problems that arise for natural teeth, and they can have the same negative impacts on your oral health.

Rest assured, we will provide you with all the information you need to take proper care of your teeth for years to come.

The Importance of Check-Ups and Cleanings

While at-home oral care is essential to the health of your teeth and gums, we strongly recommend regular cleanings and check-ups. During these sessions, your dentist will be able to tend to those hard-to-reach areas your toothbrush and dental floss might have missed.

Would you like to learn more about our dental implant procedures? Do not hesitate to contact Dr. Caudry's incredible administrative staff. We never hesitate to address all the concerns and answer every question of our clients. All you have to do is contact us.

The Dental Implant Procedure: What to Expect

We deal with many individuals who can't even remember the last time they sat in the dentist's chair. If you're one of these people, you might not be so sure what to expect during the implant procedures. To put your mind at ease, here is a brief walk-through of the various procedures.

After your initial examination (x-rays, review of medical history, etc.), we will schedule your first pre-operative dental implant appointment. We will provide you with reading material, and also inform you of any other precautions. In some cases, we might advise patients not to eat before their appointment.

During the first appointment, we will use our Primescan intraoral scanner to create a digital scan of your gums and teeth. We will also use our three-dimensional CBCT bone scanner to take a digital scan of the bone. These scans give us a richly detailed image of your mouth, teeth, and jaw.

With these two digital scans, we will begin planning the surgery step-by-step before we even get you in the dentist's chair. With our technology, there is considerably less time spent in the dentist's chair overall, and success rates are unmatched. We promise greater accuracy, less discomfort, and a newfound sense of confidence in your local periodontist.

Reducing Risks, Increasing Comfort

Dental implant surgery is a low-risk surgical procedure. Thanks to the technology available to us at our facility, we are able to carry out surgical procedures like these with ease.

Your comfort is our priority as well. We have calibrated our procedures and services with the patient in mind. We keep the time spent in the dental chair to a minimum, and we offer a variety of sedation options for those who would prefer to sedate themselves for the procedure.

Are Dental Crowns Convincing to Others?

In a word: Yes. Dental implants are without question the most optimal solution people of all ages who want to restore their smile and oral health. Few people-if anyone-can tell the difference between a natural tooth and a well-placed, natural-looking implant.

Your new tooth consists of three parts. The screw-like implant that fastens it in place, the abutment, and the crown. The crown, cosmetically, is the most important part of the tooth itself. It is the part of the implant that people see when you smile.

Our crowns are almost always mistaken for natural teeth. This is because we design the crown and abutment with our digital CAD/CAM software. With our software, we are able to give you the tooth that suits your smile perfectly. In some cases, these new teeth are better suited for people's mouths than their previous teeth.

Dental implants are the best solution for replacing teeth, and Dr. Caudry is the best choice for placing them. With her as your trusted periodontal surgeon, you can expect:

A permanent, lifelong solution. Implants do not wear fast like dentures. They don't need replacing every so often. They are a permanent, lifelong choice-one that can last as long as your other teeth when looked after.

A natural-looking replacement. Dental implants look just like the rest of your teeth. At our practice, we offer countless types of implant prosthetics, tailoring our options to match colour, length, and size of the rest of your teeth.

A fully functional tooth. Ultimately, a dental implant is the best choice because it feels and functions like a perfectly healthy tooth. All our implants are constructed using high-grade surgical titanium with zirconium crowns. They are sturdy and resilient, allowing you to chew as much as you want with them. Apples, corn on the cob-you'll be able to enjoy all such foods with no discomfort from your implant supported teeth.

Improved oral health. A dental implant not only functions like a natural tooth, but it also contributes to good oral health like a natural tooth.

Do Our Dental Services Come with Sedation?

The question of sedation often comes up early in our consultations with patients. Do we offer sedation to our patients? Absolutely. We offer a wide range of sedation options. There is our Twilight Sedation option, where you are comfortable and semi-conscious during oral surgery and are left with virtually no memory of the process. There is also the option of complete sleep, where you are administered gentle anesthesia prior to surgery and lose complete memory altogether. We promise that you will be as safe and comfortable as possible during the procedure.

At our practice, we always put patients' needs first. When you choose us, you can rest easy knowing we will do everything we can to eliminate stress, alleviate discomfort, and give you the peace of mind you deserve. That promise extends to our sedation options. No matter which option you choose, you're sure to experience complete comfort during the surgery.

Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Periodontist Care

For some, the road to healthy gums and a restored smile is not always so short. Some require extensive work prior to dental implant surgery. Rest assured, with us overseeing your pre-operative and post-operative care, your journey will go as smoothly as possible.

We begin working with you long before the initial implant surgery, and we don't consider our work accomplished until the dental implant has successfully healed. We specialize in pre-operative and post-operative care, ensuring that you get everything you need from our facilities and Dr. Caudry.

Prior to the dental implant procedure, we will tell you everything you need to do. For your comfort, we advise you always get a good night's sleep before your session and avoid smoking or ingesting alcohol beforehand. Are you curious about dietary restrictions? Just ask us! We are always available to answer any questions you might have.

As for post-operative care, our attentive team will tell you everything you need to know prior to surgery. We'll give you tips and pamphlets for at-home aftercare, and we'll also schedule whatever follow-up appointments are needed.

Many of our patients find that Tylenol and/or Advil are enough for treating any post-operative pain. Others, however, find they need something stronger. If after surgery you find yourself in the latter camp, we will gladly write you a prescription for more complete pain relief.

The Computer-Guided Smile Design Process: Digital Dental Implant Procedures

Computer-guided surgery might be the way of the future, but it has also been a part of Dr. Caudry's practice for years and years. Being one of the first to receive training in computer-guided smile design over fifteen years ago, Dr. Caudry has helped craft picture-perfect and healthy smiles for countless individuals.

What Is Computer-Guided Surgery?

At Dr. Caudry's facility, you'll find that no questions go unanswered. We speak with many patients who have never even heard of computer-guided smile design. Many of our patients are still used to the way dentist's from days' past did things. Here, we do things differently.

In the past, oral surgeons used to rely on instinct and past experience during the surgical processes. While our experience is unrivalled, we still think it is best to incorporate new and innovative technologies to ensure success. For us, there is no method quite like computer-guided surgery.

We pride ourselves on our ability to remain at the forefront of dental implantology. Not only have we embraced the latest innovations, but through Dr. Caudry's ongoing research, she continues to help advance the field herself. By striving for breakthroughs, Dr. Caudry improves the lives of every patient that walks through our doors.

One of the many advancements we've embraced over the years has been computer-guided surgery. Though dental implant surgery is a relatively new procedure, there have been many incredible advancements in a short period of time. The greatest progress by far has been the integration of computer-guided technologies and digital workflows.

Without computer-guided methods, dental implants become a more invasive, time-consuming, and stress-inducing ordeal. Computer assistance makes the whole process easier, for both the patient and the practitioner. There are many benefits, some of which include:

Greater Accuracy for Implant Placements

Many people think that dental crowns only come in a few sizes. This couldn't be further from the truth. Modern technology allows professionals like Dr. Caudry to sculpt dental crowns in such a way that they suit your existing smile perfectly. We can give you the smile you used to have-or the smile you have always wanted. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to customize when it comes to new dental implants.

An implant might look attractive and suitable, but it's not just the implant that makes a difference in your smile-it is the placement. Thanks to the digital workflows we've integrated into the preliminary and surgical processes. This allows us to determine what your new dental implant will look like in your mouth before we even begin surgery. We'll be able to modify the implant if necessary, ensuring the new tooth fits your smile perfectly.

From the placements of the implants to digital impressions, the computer-guided approach has an unmatched accuracy. With the computer-guided method, surgeons can plan the entire implant procedure step by step before you even sit in the dentist's chair. We're able to anticipate and avoid any setbacks which would have previously compromised the accuracy of the placement.

Computer-guided Surgery and Its Benefits

Here are some of the benefits offered by computer-guided dental implant surgery. After reading about these many time-saving and comfort-adding bonuses, you'll be more than eager to schedule your dental implant procedure.

Decreased Risk: We believe that a trip to the dentist or periodontist should be a pleasant experience. Thanks to our innovative methods, your visit will surely be as pleasant as can be. With computer-guided surgery, it is possible to see the exact position of sinus cavities, nerves, and bones. This dramatically reduces the risk of complications, leading to greater successes, greater predictability, and an easier recovery.

Less Time in the Dental Chair: Over the years, we've come to understand what our patients want from their trip to the periodontist. They want swift procedures and as little discomfort as possible. Thanks to digital workflows and computer technology, patients are not subjected to the same lengthy surgeries of the past. What's more, the recovery time for computer-guided surgery is significantly shorter.

Less Invasive Procedure: Patients are not subjected to the messiness of dental impressions, and it is also possible to place implants without the need for excessive incisions and sutures. With our innovative approach, you'll experience less discomfort and less stress along the way. Put your mind at ease and let us make surgery a breeze!

Better, More Personalized Experience: Because we use 3D digital-rendering software, we provide you with a clear visual blueprint for your teeth, mouth, and overall dentition. It helps map out the surgery, while also giving you a chance to make your voice heard. By giving you a visual impression of your mouth, you're able to oversee the surgery with a meticulous degree of detail. We give you control over the design of your smile, providing a more personalized experience-plus more personalized results-in the process.

Does Every Periodontist Practice Computer-Guided Surgery?

Not all periodontists are the same. Every practicing professional has their own preferred approach. These approaches are informed by their academic background, past clinical experience, the needs and expectations of their typical patients, and more.

There is a reason that Dr. Caudry is the preferred oral surgeon for so many. While there might be many skilled professionals in our community, there are few with a career as illustrious as hers. As for Dr. Caudry's additional staff? They're a "dream team" like no other.

There are many, many oral surgeons who have yet to embrace computer-guided surgery. Dr. Caudry, however, has long embraced digital dentistry. In fact, in 2005, Dr. Caudry was one of the very first surgeons in North America to be trained in this groundbreaking approach to dentistry.

With Dr. Caudry and her team of staff, nothing is left uncertain. The preliminary stages of your implant surgery are planned with complete precision thanks to our three-dimensional bone scans and mess-free intraoral scanner. By the time you sit in our dentist's chair, you will already have a clear picture of the end-result in your head.

With us, you have nothing to worry about. We'll see to it that your surgery goes smoothly from start to finish. We have the school and expertise-plus the state-of-the-art technology-to ensure it. From the moment you enter our facilities to the moment you leave, we promise nothing short of the finest care possible.

A Leader in Dental Implant Rescue

Did you recently undergo dental implant surgery only to experience swelling and soreness in the following months? Are you worried that your dental implant may be at risk? There is no reason to panic when Dr. Caudry and her staff are just a phone call away. We are leaders in dental implant rescue.

Sometimes the site of a new dental implant may become infected due to complications or a lack of adequate aftercare. In instances such as those, one worries that they might lose their dental implant. Thankfully, we are experts in dental implant rescue.

Attach Bridge picture

Although dental implant procedures have a very high rate of success, implants can become infected, which can cause further issues, similar to gum disease. In order to prevent such complications, Dr. Caudry takes every precaution to ensure that your implants remain healthy and disease-free. Whether you received implants from her or elsewhere, she is here to provide regular, in-depth check-ups to keep your implant-supported teeth performing and looking their best.

If you experience any of the following symptoms, she will determine the best course of action to protect your implants:

  • Unpleasant smells or tastes in your mouth
  • Receding or discolored gums around the implant
  • Difficulty cleaning around the implant site
  • Swelling and redness around the implant

Dental implants are durable, but they're not immune to troubles. As with natural teeth, complications can arise with dental implants. Thankfully Dr. Caudry is here to help.

In cases of poor implant health, Dr. Caudry has a range of strategies to save your implants from extraction. Thanks to her skill and experience, she has managed to perform countless implant rescue procedures that have saved her patients and the patients of other dentists the stress and cost of having to undergo further implant replacement surgeries.

How to Avoid Dental Implant Troubles

Dental implants are a big investment. Between the consultations, procedure, and the follow-ups, an individual should expect to spend a fair bit of time at their periodontist's clinic-and that says nothing of the at-home recovery period. Failing to take proper care of dental implants will only result in more trips to the periodontist.

While we prioritize the comfort of our patients in our facility, we know that most people do not want to visit their periodontist too often. Scheduling these visits can be challenging for most people, after all. For these reasons and more, we make sure to educate our patients on the ways of proper dental implant care.

Dental implants have the potential to improve your smile, your sense of confidence, and your oral hygiene. They can even make something like chewing hard or crunchy foods feel like a normal activity again. These are the reasons people get dental implants, and these are the reasons why professionals like Dr. Caudry advocate for ongoing oral care after you've received your dental implants.

Do you find it difficult to floss your teeth without experiencing discomfort or gum inflammation? Do you have other dental issues that make other hygienic practices difficult? We are here to help and educate.

We believe in educating our patients on the ways of proper oral care-especially if they have just received a dental implant. Prior to your surgery and during the post-surgical follow-ups, we will walk you through all the necessary aftercare steps. From antibacterial irrigation, frequent flossing, and proper brushing, we cover it all.

Proper Hygiene Helps You

Patients come to the facilities of Dr. Caudry for a wide variety of reasons. Some of our patients need treatment for gum disease, for example.

The problem with traditional gum disease and Peri-Implantitis is that it can sometimes worsen without notice. Before long, a client's jawbone can weaken, or infections can develop around the new dental implant. There are ways to make sure these problems do not occur, though. The secret lies in preventative maintenance. By scheduling regular visits with your local dentist and following a strict at-home cleaning routine, you can avoid infections and other issues.

As one might expect, the facilities of Dr. Caudry offer a battery of hygienic services. Few hygiene departments stand up against ours. Whether you are looking for a professional polish or deep scaling, our staff can assist you.

For those who've recently received implants, some of the following hygienic treatments might be of interest:

Antibacterial Irrigation

Though a dental implant may not be your natural tooth, it requires the same attention and care. The best way to safeguard your new tooth from bacteria buildup and infection is through antibacterial irrigation. Bacteria repopulate every three months, so it is important to undergo frequent irrigation treatments to promote optimal oral health and a long-lasting dental implant.

Fluoride Treatments

Everyone remembers fluoride treatments from their childhood, but few adults receive them later in life. Fluoride treatments are a great way to protect your natural teeth and your implant from the buildup of plaque. In fact, fluoride will even make your teeth more resistant to the buildup of plaque.

Periodontal Scaling

Periodontal scaling is different from the traditional cleaning session, and is only offered by periodontists such as Dr. Caudry. This process ensures that the crown and root surfaces of the tooth are free of harmful toxins, deposits, and microorganisms. Scaling ensures that every part of your tooth, even the part below the gum line, is as clean as possible.

Proper Hygiene Helps Dental Implants

We all like to think we know how to properly care for our teeth and gums. Unfortunately, there are many well-intentioned people who approach tooth care incorrectly. Whether you feel confident in your oral-care practices or you have some basic questions, we will fill you in on everything you need to know to care for your dental implants.

Dental implants are not silver bullet solutions to oral issues. We try to remind our patients that dental implants function like natural teeth in every way possible. By that same token, one must also care for them as if they are natural teeth, too. The implant may be made from titanium, but the implant site and surrounding gum areas are the same as they were prior to the procedure.

When you decide to invest in dental implants, you're making an investment in your smile and your overall health. Proper at-home oral care ensures that you reap the benefits of this investment for years-or even decades-to come. Poor hygienic practices, however, can put you at risk of dental implant failure.

Do you want healthy dental implants for years to come? If so, you will need to practice proper hygiene. Brush and floss your teeth properly, rinse regularly, and always contact a dentist when you notice inflammation or aches and pains in the gums. The proactive approach to teeth and gums will save you from spending money on replacement implants and numerous visits to the periodontist.

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

You Have One or More Missing Teeth

If you have one or more missing teeth, Dr. Caudry and her team may consider you a good candidate for dental implants upon further assessment. Since dental implants are permanent teeth made from durable material and last an extended period, they are the more common option compared to their alternatives, such as bridges and dentures. Therefore, a dental implant may be the right option if you want a permanent, cost-effective solution to your missing teeth.

You Have Fully Developed Jawbones

Dental implants are placed within your jawbone and integrate with the natural bone. If an implant were to be placed on a developing jawbone, there is a risk it will prevent surrounding teeth from growing through the gums properly. For this reason, children are not good candidates because their jawbones are not fully developed. While the average age is 16 years old for females and 17-18 for males, there may be some variation based on unique factors. Dr. Caudry will make her final determination by evaluating patients within that age range.

Dentures Are Not an Option

Dentures are not for everyone, but in some cases, they are the most practical option for restoring one's smile. Dentures will most commonly be recommended if you can say yes to one or more of the following criteria:

  • Multiple teeth missing
  • A majority of your teeth are loose and need to be removed
  • You attempted dentures in the past but can't get the right fit

If dentures can be ruled out as the best therapeutic solution to dental issues, you could be a good candidate for implants. Here at the office of Dr. Suzanne Caudry, we will determine the best option for your particular situation.

You Have Good Gum Health

Healthy gums are a prerequisite for dental implants to ensure the long-term success of the implant. If a candidate suffers from gum disease or any other ailment that causes the tissue and bone to weaken and dissolve, a full assessment will need to be conducted. Suppose the tissue and jawbone endure extensive, irreversible damage from a lack of medical intervention. In that case, the jaw will not be strong enough to support a dental implant, disqualifying the candidate from receiving implants. As an alternate solution, the candidate may qualify for a bone or soft tissue graft.

Dental Implant Evaluation Process

Successful dental implantation starts with a thorough evaluation of your jaw, teeth, bone, tissue, and overall health to determine if there is a solid underlying support structure. Dr, Caudry will conduct this assessment by using an oral X-ray machine. 3D imaging provides a clear picture of the height and width of the jawbones to calculate the amount of bone structure available for the implant. If we discover issues preventing implantation success, we can customize a treatment plan to help prepare your mouth for the procedure in the near future. If your oral health is generally healthy and there is sufficient bone space in the region the implant is needed, we will move ahead with the procedure.

We will discuss this process with you in greater detail during your consultation and answer any questions you may have regarding tooth replacement.
