For those who have lost permanent teeth, dental implants can offer you a chance to smile again. After all, they are solid, secure, and aesthetic. An implant is a surgical grade titanium post that is manufactured to highly precise specifications and then surgically inserted into the jawbone below the gum surface. As the bone bonds to the post, it forms a secure foundation onto which your new teeth attach and shape to match your mouth.
Implants can help replace a single tooth or a full set of teeth. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural, and some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes.
Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by Dr. Clemenza will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.
If you have been suffering with a partial or full dentures, are missing teeth, or feel you need teeth extracted, do not hesitate to call Dr. Clemenza to be evaluated for dental implants.
