Missing teeth can negatively impact your oral health, we want to make treatment as affordable, efficient, and accessible as possible.
Dr. Burden has completed extensive advanced training in dental implants, including at the prestigious Misch International Implant Institute, the Zimmer Institute and nearly 200 hours of residency training with one of the nation’s leading implant experts. He has also trained in the mini implant system.
When you add that to the hundreds of successful implant placements he has performed, plus his years performing full-mouth restorations, you can feel confident Dr. Burden has both the experience and knowledge to successfully complete your dental implant procedure.
Dr. Burden offers sedation as an option for full relaxation during the implant procedure. He is licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia for both oral and IV sedation, and has been certified in IV sedation by the American Society for the Advancement of Anesthesia and Sedation in Dentistry.
A dental implant is the solution for replacing a single missing tooth because of its permanence and durability
When multiple teeth have to be replaced, Dr. Burden places individual implant or an implant-supported dental bridge
When replacing all your teeth, you need strength, permanence, and support while chewing
Mini implants are smaller than traditional implants, requiring less bone tissue to remain stable than a traditional implant does
Your complimentary implant consultation will include a review of your dental and medical histories, as well as a physical exam of your teeth and mouth. Evaluating patients for dental implants will require X-rays of your teeth and underlying jaw bone to make certain there is sufficient bone structure to support the implant.
Dr. Henderson will answer all your questions in advance, as well as discuss your implant treatment plan.
When you call the office for your complimentary Implant Consultation, (a $168 value), here is what you will receive:
What are implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, typically titanium, that provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. They are an effective and long-term solution for people who have lost teeth due to decay, disease, or injury. Here’s a comprehensive overview of dental implants:
There are times when Dr. Burden will need to increase the amount of bone in a patient’s jaw so that sufficient bone will be available to support the dental implant. Bone can be lost through periodontal disease or when a tooth is missing.
He uses bone grafting, a safe and very successful procedure, to build up bone on the jaw by adding a small amount of bone from the patient, a donor or synthetic bone. Dr. Burden uses graft material best suited to you. In many cases Dr. Burden can place the bone graft at the same time as the implant(s).
A sinus lift (sometimes called a sinus augmentation), is surgery that adds bone below the sinus, added between your jaw and the maxillary sinuses, which are on either side of your nose. To make room for the bone, the sinus membrane has to be moved upward, or “lifted.”
Dental implants provide a reliable and aesthetic solution for tooth loss, helping patients regain confidence and improve their oral function. If you think dental implants might be right for you, schedule a consultation with your dentist to discuss your options and create a personalized treatment plan.
For many patients, dental implants offer substantial benefits and can provide an superior solution for missing teeth. To learn more about implant dentistry or the other tooth replacement options we offer, contact our office online or call us at (757) 229-1224 today.
