Dr. Sharara can help you determine if you are a dental implant candidate. During your consultation, Dr. Sharara will examine your gum tissue and determine whether you have enough jawbone for the dental implant to successfully be secured. Dr. Sharara will examine your teeth and gums in his Mounds View, MN dentist office. He will also utilize X-ray imaging to identify whether you have enough jawbone for the implant to grow around. For patients with minimal jawbone, bone-grafting can be performed in order to strengthen the jawbone for implants. Once your implants are fully integrated, the jawbone will act as a base to support the new tooth.
