We hope this blog post finds you well. At the Memphis Dental Implant Surgery Center, we greatly value the relationships we have with our referring doctors, and we're always striving to provide valuable insights and information to support your patients' dental implant needs. Today, we want to discuss a crucial aspect of the dental implant process that can significantly impact the success of your referred cases: lip support.

Lip support is a vital factor that not only enhances the aesthetics but also influences the function of dental implant treatments. It plays a key role in determining whether your patients are ideal candidates for fixed or removable dental prosthetics.

👄 Why Does Lip Support Matter in Dental Implants?

Lip support refers to the structural support of your patients' lips to enhance their facial aesthetics. After the loss of natural teeth, it's common for the lips to lose their ability to maintain fullness, leading to a sunken or aged appearance. Dental implants aim to not only restore smiles but also rejuvenate facial aesthetics.

🤔 Why It's Essential to Review Lip Support

During the diagnostic phase of case planning, our experienced team conducts a comprehensive evaluation, including an assessment of lip support. This step is critical because it guides us in determining the most suitable treatment approach for your referred patients. Some may benefit from fixed implant-supported prosthetics, while others may find removable options more suitable.

We are committed to providing the best possible outcomes for your referred cases. Rest assured that at the Memphis Dental Implant Surgery Center, your patients will receive a personalized treatment plan that not only restores their smiles but also enhances their overall facial aesthetics.
