Dental
Implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth. For
over 30 years dental implants have brought naturally beautiful,
confident smiles to patients. A dental implant is a small
titanium screw or cylinder which is surgically placed in the
upper or lower jawbone. This material is the same that is
used in hip or joint replacement procedures and is well tolerated
by the human body. The implant replaces the root of the missing
tooth or teeth, providing an anchorage for your new tooth/teeth.
With implants, chewing and speech are restored or improved
and a permanent natural appearance is achieved. Whether you
are missing one or all of your teeth, implants allow you to
enjoy your favorite foods and have the confidence you desire
for an active professional and social life.

An
implant consultation is the first step to achieving a successful
result. The procedure will be clearly explained by Dr. Melnick.
He may request a CT scan to be performed by a radiologist
prior to the procedure to give an accurate view of the jaw
bone. On this first visit impressions may also be taken to
prepare a surgical stent, which is used as a guide during
the implant placement to ensure exacting results. A review
of the treatment plan alternatives will also be outlined so
that you fully understand the treatment options to enable
you to make an educated choice. There is always communication
with your general dentist so that your treatment is coordinated.
Using the above exacting standards, we have achieved highly
successful surgical results.
The
office is open from 8:30 to 5:30 Monday through Friday.
In
addition, we now offer treatment Monday evenings 5:30 - 8:30.
