Dental Implants
Our philosophy has always been to
save teeth. However, when teeth are lost or failing, a dental implant may
be the best option for tooth replacement. Dr. Apfel has extensive
experience in dental implant restorations and reconstructions. He was the
first dentist on the east coast of the U.S. to simultaneously restore
complete upper and lower dentitions in the same patient in one day (Teeth in
an Hour). He has lectured nationally and has provided training programs for
dentists and laboratory technicians on the restoration of implants. If you
are considering dental implants, we will perform an examination and
advise you if you are a candidate at your consultation.
Dental Implants: What Are They?
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation
for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural
teeth. With the high predictability and success rate, dental implants are
an excellent option for tooth replacement. The person who has lost
teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with the
confidence of knowing that his or her teeth appear natural. Furthermore,
dental implants not only replace the missing teeth, they help preserve the
patient’s jaw bone providing more years of dental health.
