<\/div>[vc_column_text]Why are dental implants the best option for replacing missing teeth?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Every way you look at it, dental implants are a\u00a0better solution to the problem of missing teeth<\/b>. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually\u00a0more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework<\/b>, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]Esthetic
\nDental implants look and feel like your own teeth! Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum recession that often accompany bridgework and dentures. No one will ever know that you have a replacement tooth.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”bg_color” css=”.vc_custom_1566846207847{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}” bg_color_value=”#e7f0f4″][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1565104274211{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Tooth-saving
\nDental implants don’t sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth like a bridge does because neighboring teeth are not altered to support the implant. More of your own teeth are left untouched, a significant long-term benefit to your oral health![\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”bg_color” css=”.vc_custom_1566845921261{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}” bg_color_value=”#cee1e9″][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1565104274211{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}”]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Confidence
\nDental implants will allow you to once again speak and eat with comfort and confidence! They are secure and offer freedom from the irksome clicks and wobbles of dentures. They’ll allow you to say goodbye to worries about misplaced dentures and messy pastes and glues.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]Reliable
\nThe success rate of dental implants is highly predictable. They are considered an excellent option for tooth replacement[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text]What are the benefits to replacing missing teeth?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Dental implants are designed to provide a\u00a0foundation for replacement teeth<\/b>\u00a0which 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 which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, implants can\u00a0help preserve facial structure<\/b>, preventing the bone deterioration which occurs when teeth are missing.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Dental implants are\u00a0changing the way people live!<\/b>\u00a0With dental implants, people are rediscovering the\u00a0comfort and confidence<\/b>\u00a0to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What is involved in placing implants?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]First, surgery is performed to place the\u00a0anchor<\/b>. Surgery may take up to several hours and up to six months may be required for the bone to grow around the anchor and firmly hold it in place. Some implants require a second surgery in which a post is attached to connect the anchor to the replacement teeth. With other implants, the\u00a0anchor and post<\/b> are already attached and are placed at the same time.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]After the gums have had several weeks to heal, the next step is begun. The artificial teeth are made and\u00a0fitted to the post portion<\/b>\u00a0of the anchor.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Implant surgery can be done in a dental office. A local or general anesthetic may be used. Dr. James Sparaga will give you instructions on diet and oral hygiene.[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What are Mini-Implants?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Mini Dental Implants are small implants that can be placed in one day to\u00a0stabilize dentures<\/b>. The whole procedure takes a matter of hours, with\u00a0very little discomfort or recovery time<\/b>. They are wonderful for those with a denture or other prosthetic that will not stay in place.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What is the mini-implant procedure?<\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]First Dr. James Sparaga will numb the area, and use a special drill to create the space for the screws. Typically six mini-implants are inserted in these holes and tightened to serve as anchors. Your denture will be retrofitted with a metal housing for each post so that the denture can snap into place. Now that the denture is anchored, it cannot slip or move, and makes the denture-wearing experience much easier. The procedure causes\u00a0little discomfort and requires almost no recovery time<\/b>, so many patients are able to eat dinner that same day.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]GALILEOS\u00ae 3D X-RAY<\/u><\/b>[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Dr. Sparaga believes that technology is a vital part of diagnosing and treating dental problems. He believes that re-investing in his practice is a reinvestment in the community.[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Dr. Sparaga is proud to offer the GALILEOS\u00ae 3D Cone Beam imaging solution from Sirona. This imaging technology extends diagnostic X-Ray imaging potential for patient treatment. The imaging tools and software assists Dr. Sparaga for a more certain diagnosis. The GALILEOS\u00ae will allow him and his staff to better coordinate treatment planning and to explain treatments visually to his patients with greater clarity and accuracy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]
<\/div>[vc_single_image image=”1433″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]Conventional X-Rays are two-dimensional and limits what the doctor can see when making a diagnois. 3D images make the X-Ray diagnosis and implant treatment safer, more predictable and faster. The new Sirona system creates three-dimensional images on a computer screen, which allows Dr. Sparaga to perform virtual surgery for the patient to review before the actual treatment begins. Ultimately, this will allow for a safer and more comfortable surgery.[\/vc_column_text]
