Expert, Collaborative Care for Complex Cases

If you don’t represent the ideal case for dental implants, it’s critical that you seek treatment from an experienced surgical and prosthetic team. Dental implants are a complex treatment that requires more unique experience and skill than other restorative solutions.

If you have many missing teeth and extensive bone loss or are suffering from oral infection or a medical condition, this only adds to the complexity and the need for a qualified and experienced clinician. At Fusion Implant Center, we represent the region’s only collaborative team of board-certified oral surgeons, a prosthodontist, and a licensed anesthesiologist—all in a single location.

Combined, they have over 50 years of experience and have placed well over 20,000 dental implants. Additionally, our team is trained in state-of-the-art digital software and surgical technologies that help us provide incredibly precise and accurate treatment, with consistently outstanding clinical outcomes and excellent patient satisfaction. There is no team more qualified in the state to offer comprehensive dental implant treatment, from your consultation to the delivery of your new smile.

Determining Your Implant Candidacy

Determining if you qualify for dental implants requires a comprehensive evaluation and diagnostics from our surgeons in Baton Rouge, LA. We will evaluate the condition of your gums, bone, and teeth. Both dental and medical records are also needed to assess any systemic conditions or harmful lifestyle habits, such as smoking. In general, the following are factors that affect dental implant candidacy:

Gum Health

Dental implants need a healthy oral environment to remain successful long-term. If infection is present, this can damage both the gum tissues and bone. Active gum disease will require treatment before dental implants can be placed to avoid failure.

Bone Volume

The health of your jawbone is crucial to dental implant success. Without proper density and volume, dental implants will not have proper support. Bone will need to be rebuilt and strengthened through bone grafting surgery.

Systemic Conditions

Underlying medical conditions such as diabetes and immune system disorders make it more difficult for your body to heal after surgery. Systemic disease also increases the risk of infection after surgery. Having these conditions doesn’t mean we can’t offer you dental implants, it just means we may adjust your treatment plan to improve the chances of a successful outcome.

Physical Health

With proper maintenance, dental implants have the potential to last for the rest of your life. This includes maintaining excellent physical and oral health. If you smoke, consider quitting before your surgery and practice good daily oral hygiene habits.

A Solution Designed for You

At Fusion Implant Center, we not only help patients become candidates for dental implants, but provide personalized treatment that reflects their individual health, functional, and aesthetic goals. 

An important step of your treatment process is understanding what you want to accomplish with new teeth, whether the ability to eat an unlimited diet, a beautiful and natural smile, or confidence to socialize. 

The good news is that dental implants can meet all these desires—and often exceed them! Don’t let what others have told you in the past keep you from beginning your journey to a new smile with us. 

We’re here to offer you a personalized consultation and help you become a candidate for dental implants in Baton Rouge, LA.
