Dental Implants
As one of the truly extraordinary advancements in dental technology, dental implants provide an outstanding, long-term solution to missing teeth and are a solution that many patients find ideal. Made of pure titanium, dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jaw, where they serve as secure anchors onto which a single restoration, a bridge, or a full set of dentures can be attached. Dr. Gross does not perform the dental implant surgery himself, but works in coordination with the New Haven County's most talented and respected oral surgeons and periodontists. As a result, patients can be assured that the natural looking restorations Dr. Gross creates for them will be supported by implants of equally impressive quality.
Although the process of placing dental implants into the mouth is a lengthy one, requiring several months to complete, it is also one of the most popular among patients with missing teeth. This is because dental implants offer a number of practical advantages over other tooth replacement methods. For instance, when used to replace individual missing teeth, dental implants do not depend on surrounding natural teeth for support, which helps to maintain the structural integrity of those existing teeth. In addition, they require no special maintenance beyond the sensible oral hygiene regimen and regular dental visits that are necessary to preserve the health of natural teeth. Furthermore, because they are embedded in the jaw, they are as close to an exact replacement for missing teeth as is possible. The procedure of placing dental implants is safe and effective, with one of the highest success rates of any dental surgery.
To ensure that your dental implants meet the highest standards in the industry, Dr. Gross works with only the finest oral surgeons and periodontists. These doctors and dentists perform the actual dental implant surgery, placing the implants using general anesthetic if necessary for the comfort and overall satisfaction of the patient. Dr. Gross then places the restorations onto the implants. If you are missing one or more of your natural teeth and would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Gross to find out more about the option of dental implants, please contact his office in Hamden today.
