The answer to this question can be different from patient to patient depending on their needs, but for most people, we would recommend two preventive checkups and cleanings each year. These appointments, along with a consistent oral hygiene routine at home, provide the best way to prevent many dental problems as well as catch minor ones while they are still easy to treat.
While this answer can be different from patient to patient, for most people looking to rebuild their smile, we would highly recommend dental implants. They are the only treatment that restores a missing tooth both above and below the gum line, delivering a result that is the next best thing to nature. Plus, they can reliably replace any number of teeth and can be trusted to last for 30 years or more.
While regular crowns/bridges/dentures are excellent solutions in their own right, they canpale in comparison to dental implants. These traditional restorations only replace the top part of the tooth, which makes them inherently unstable and likely to break down over time in some instances such as a tooth with advanced bone loss or situated in a harsh bite relationship. Implants, on the other hand, replace both the crown and root of a tooth. This helps them look more natural, have much more stability, and ensures they’re able to function like new for decades.
Yes! With an implant-retained denture, we can secure a set of prosthetic teeth directly to the jawbone, providing a fit and security a removable denture simply can’t match. Dr. Feit can upgrade existing dentures so that they fit over implants, or he can design a completely new prosthetic set of teeth custom for you. Either way, if you’re ready to have a denture you can trust, implants can help you get one.
