Studies show that 70 percent of Americans will be missing at least one tooth by the time they are age 44. Even though it may seem common and not too serious, tooth loss can lead to much worse oral health issues. Since our mouths are directly connected to our bloodstream, which is connected to the rest of our body, oral health issues can drastically affect overall health.
Implant dentistry is a proven and preferred method of tooth replacement that can last a lifetime. Dental implants do not rely on the surrounding teeth, so they can be applied individually. They can also be used as anchors for partials, bridges, or even full dentures.
For dental implants in Wallingford, contact Dr. Randy J. Greenberg today to schedule your in depth consultation.
Implant Dentistry – Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Greenberg will review your overall health, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle habits. Also, you will be given a thorough examination that will include the assessment of your teeth, gums, and bone density. If there is not enough bone to support implants, a procedure known as bone grafting will likely be recommended. In addition, x-rays or scans may be used to view proper placement for the implants.
Once the examination is complete, Dr. Greenberg will present your best options for treatment.
