Dental Implants: (picture)
Perhaps the fastest growing field in dentistry! Various dental
implants have been used since the time of the Egyptians, but
implant dentistry (as now practiced) dates only to the early
1980's. I have been involved with implant dentistry since 1982.
Dental implants offer you options for tooth replacement that were
not previously available. Patients wearing removable partial
dentures now have the option of fixed crowns and bridges.
Complete denture wearers now may replace thier teeth in a variety
of ways that more closely reproduce the look and feel of real
teeth.
Your treatment with implants ideally begins and ends with the
professional responsible for making the teeth themselves. The
number of implants necessary, as well as their location is
recommended (by us) for your desired result.
We excel at directing this type of complex treatment through all
phases. Surgical placement of implants is referred to a
periodontist or oral & maxillofacial surgeon. Usually all other
aspects of implant treatment are performed by our office.
We have replaced over 10,000 teeth with implant prostheses
since 1982.
