Do I Need Dental Implants?

They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile with confidence.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. After implants are placed in the jaw bone by a periodontist, your general dentist will construct and place the appropriate restoration that is then connected to the implant body. Whether you need one implant or multiple implants, Dr. Ira Levenson has extensive training and he continues to seek ongoing training for the latest techniques. He has a highly successful implant practice and has been placing dental implants for more than 16 years. https://www.perio.org/consumer/single-tooth-implant
