COMPLEX COMBINED
Teeth and dental implants function differently at they time they are placed and over time. This is what causes most of implant revision treatments that are needed.
​
One reason this happens is that our craniofacial complex (a fancy term for our facial bones and jaw), is constantly growing throughout our entire lives. We used to think that it would stop after puberty, or specific time periods based on our sex, however we now know this is lifelong.
​
Rehabilitations consisting of teeth and implants are very complex and need to be treated by dental providers with experience and training.
