Dental Implants - A Solution that Mother Nature Would Admire
Missing teeth can inhibit the ability to chew foods and speak clearly. Cosmetically, they impair a smile, which causes embarrassment and low self-esteem. Solutions have existed for decades – bridgework, partials, full dentures… These options don't always look, feel, and function like natural teeth, though. Dr. De Angelo is trained in dental implant restoration, which means he can offer you a tooth replacement solution that Mother Nature would commend.
Dental implants are small, titanium fixtures that fuse to the jawbone and act as teeth roots, providing stability for single crowns, bridges or overdentures. Dr. De Angelo has restored dental implants since 1986 and works with area oral surgeons for precise implant placement. Dental implants have many advantages:
- No natural, healthy tooth structure is removed (as with bridge placement)
- No adhesives or clasps are required
- Expect no slippage with overdentures
- No special care routine necessary – brush, floss, attend checkups and cleanings
- They can last a lifetime
- Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
