While dental implants are designed to be permanent solutions, various factors can compromise their stability and function over time. Recognizing the signs of implant complications early is crucial for successful intervention. At Dentin Family Dentistry, Dr. Adibrad specializes in diagnosing and treating failing dental implants, often saving them from complete failure and sparing patients the expense and discomfort of replacement.

The Science Behind Successful Implants: Osseointegration

The remarkable success of dental implants is largely due to a biological process called osseointegration. This phenomenon allows titanium implant posts to naturally fuse with your jawbone, creating a foundation as stable as natural tooth roots. At Dentin Family Dentistry, Dr. Adibrad utilizes medical-grade titanium implants specifically designed to maximize this integration process, resulting in implants that can potentially last a lifetime with proper care.
