Erie Dentist Makes Dental Implants Available At Practice

    ERIE, PA, December 11, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Compared to traditional dentures, dental implants provide a modern method of tooth replacement with many benefits. Because they are set directly into the jawbone, dental implants are non-removable and do not get loose or shift in the mouth. Unlike dentures, which are customized to fit over the gums, dental implants are secured by metal anchors that are set permanently into the jaw, eliminating the need for adhesive creams and embarrassing accidental slipping of false teeth.

For those with good overall health, getting dental implants is a fairly straightforward procedure that is usually done in three steps. A titanium anchor is first surgically implanted into the jawbone. The next process of dental implants is integral, and it's called osseointegration. Once osseointegration takes place, the titanium is fused with the bone in the jaw. Titanium possesses unique properties that let the body accept it as its own, allowing bone to grow around the anchor, setting it sturdily in place.

The final step to receiving dental implants in Erie is to set the fabricated teeth- created from custom molds in a laboratory-onto the integrated anchors. Individual teeth, crowns and bridges can all be attached to dental implants.
Besides being secure and non-moving, replacing missing teeth or shifting dentures is cosmetically pleasing and natural looking, providing a boost in self-confidence.

There are also health benefits to receiving dental implants. The process of anchoring implants into the jaw can halt bone degeneration that is associated with missing teeth, which prevents complications due to ongoing bone loss in the jaw.

Because dental implants are stronger and more durable than dentures, patients are not limited to soft foods, allowing them to eat a variety of nutritious choices that might be otherwise impossible for them to chew. In Erie, dental implants are very similar in appearance to natural teeth, allowing for normal sounding speech and providing an attractive smile, which further boosts confidence of dental implant patients.

Dental implants in Erie are a viable option for most people healthy enough to undergo routine dental procedures. Patients with gum disease and jawbone degeneration may also be candidates for dental implants. It's important to discuss candidacy with a dentist.

Drs. Shawn Casella, David John Demarco and David James Demarco, Erie family dentists, are enthusiastic about the availability of this modern procedure for their patients, stating, "If you are considering dental implants please don't hesitate to call for an appointment where we can discuss all of your options".
