Why the Bite Matters as Much as the Post
Dr. Chersa frequently sees patients with failing implants placed elsewhere. The common error? The occlusal environment was never addressed.
"An implant functions precisely like a natural tooth. If your existing bite is already exerting destructive forces on your natural teeth, those same forces will inevitably damage the implant."
Our process involves assessing how the implant interacts with your surrounding dentition to ensure long-term stability, not just a short-term cosmetic fix.
On Candidacy: Who is a fit?
Success starts with a proactive commitment to hygiene. Beyond motivation, Dr. Chersa performs a rigorous systemic screening:
- ✅ Periodontal Health: We stabilize gums first to prevent peri-implantitis.
- ✅ Medical History: Risk factors like smoking are evaluated.
- ✅ Bone Density: Sufficient volume is required for osseointegration.
Note: If a medical condition jeopardizes your safety or the outcome, Dr. Chersa will tell you clearly before proceeding.
