"I chose to offer Trabecular Metal Implants at my practice because of what they offer my patients. The stability they provide and the quicker healing times as a result of the design are really innovative. I've always been a firm proponent of better dental technology, especially if it provides a better experience and better results for the patient," Dr. Wilson said.
Traditional dental implants rely on bone ongrowth for stability. The implant, resembling a screw, is surgically placed in the jawbone and allowed to heal until the bone heals and covers the post. Trabecular Metal dental implants, however, use a three dimensional, porous material that resembles a sponge to encourage bone ingrowth. Blood and bone can move through the post which encourages faster healing and better stability when integrated with the jawbone via a process known as osseoincorporation.
"I was excited to learn about trabecular metal technology the first time I heard about it, and now that it is being used for dental implants, I'm doubly excited because of the experience it can give patients," Dr. Wilson said.
Trabecular Metal dental implants will be offered as an implant dentistry service at Metropolitan Periodontists. For missing teeth, Dr. Wilson provides single tooth replacement, multiple tooth replacement, full arch replacement, All-on-4, and can provide fixed and removable solutions for dentures.
