Denver offers a diverse
culinary cuisine that also consists of staples like the Denver omelet
and many fast-casual food concepts. However, you won't likely be able
to enjoy much of the unique cuisine the city offers if you suffer
from tooth loss and refuse to have dentures fitted because you
believe they're unnatural and bothersome. Fortunately, a better
alternative exists; a dental implant procedure will allow you to eat
a variety of cuisine without the annoying hassles of dentures.
Not everyone is a good
candidate for this procedure, however, as it requires a bone
structure that is strong enough to hold the titanium posts that serve
as the anchor for the replacement teeth. If the bones are weak or
there is inadequate bone structure, there may be a need for the oral
surgeon to perform bone grafting. This is a procedure similar to skin
grafting, which is usually performed as part of cosmetic surgeries
for burn victims.
Under
the bone grafting procedure, a bone is obtained from your jaw, hip,
or leg (although in some cases, the bone can also be taken from a
tissue bank) and then transferred to where the dental implants are to
be placed. Bone grafting is a complex procedure that requires the
skills and training of an experienced oral surgeon and the sterile
environment of an operating room. Afterwards, the patient will be
required to stay in the hospital to give him enough time to
recuperate.
