Dental Implants
Missing teeth can make you look older than you are, negatively impact your oral and overall health, and prevent you from living life to the fullest. We invite you to turn back the clock on your smile with a state-of-the-art solution: dental implants. Dr. Shapiro is an experienced implant dentist and a member of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. He places and restores dental implants to create life-changing smiles.
The benefits of dental implants include:
- A more youthful appearance because of increased facial support
- Increased articulation
- No diet restrictions
- Deterrence of bone loss that often accompanies tooth loss
- Long-lasting comfort and function
- No slippage
Candidates for dental implants must have good oral health and appropriate jawbone mass. If you qualify, Dr. Shapiro will use state-of-the-art i-CAT 3D imaging technology to precisely plan your treatment. Then he’ll surgically insert biocompatible titanium posts in your jaw to secure your replacement teeth. You’ll receive one artificial root for each missing tooth or a few to secure a prosthetic.
Dr. Shapiro will mount your custom crowns or denture, partial, or bridge atop the posts to restore your smile and your life. The length of time between implant placement and restoration depends on your unique case. You may be eligible for immediate implants, which means that you’ll receive your replacement teeth the same day as your dental implant surgery. Dr. Shapiro also offers Sterngold mini-dental implants to secure loose dentures and help patients achieve maximum stability.
