Whether you’re missing one tooth or all 32, you may struggle to eat a varied diet, or feel embarrassed when you smile. Our entire team at THRIVE Perio and Implants is proud to provide dental implants in Stroudsburg, PA, restoring the aesthetics and function of your smile in as little as one day. With skill and expertise, our periodontist provides precise, dramatic results when he performs dental implant surgery.
If you are missing one or more teeth, you may have considered dentures or dental bridges as a solution. Bridges can be useful, but they require adjacent healthy teeth to function as their foundation. Meanwhile, dentures often slip and become loose as your jawbone loses strength, and they may cause gagging or sores on the gums. Neither of these solutions offers the stimulation needed to keep your jawbone healthy, or the ability to eat an unlimited diet. Dental implants (including full mouth dental implants) are the most modern solution to tooth loss. These are made of three parts: the post, the abutment and the restoration.
Your dental implant plan will be fully unique to you: we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach here. Dr. Nolf will determine whether you’re a candidate for dental implants, learn the goals you have for your smile and take detailed digital images (including cone beam CT scans) of your mouth and jaw as part of your periodontal consultation in Stroudsburg, PA. He’ll provide a detailed review of your treatment plan and walk you through what to expect next. Before you leave, he’ll schedule your dental implant surgery.
Your appointment begins with IV sedation or anesthesia from our on-staff anesthesiologist. Dr. Nolf will also complete any needed tooth extractions or bone grafting while you’re sedated. Next, using a custom chrome surgical guide, he’ll precisely place your single or full mouth dental implants into your jaw. He uses only the highest-quality materials to ensure that your treatment lasts a lifetime. As a gum expert, Dr. Nolf also optimizes the aesthetics of your new smile with soft tissue grafts. After treatment, you’ll be able to walk away with a temporary set of replacement teeth that look and feel natural.
It may take your jaw three months or longer to completely heal. During that time, your dental implants will permanently bond with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. It’s this bond that gives dental implants their longevity and strength. Once you’ve healed, you’ll receive your final restorations. These teeth will be customized to you, matching any remaining teeth for a seamless smile. Give your dental implants routine care, and you may never again need them replaced!
Dental implants, especially full mouth dental implants, can give you a lifetime of improved oral health. But before you commit to treatment, make sure to see an implant dentist with experience. Although some general dentists do perform dental implants, they don’t have the specialized training that periodontists have to treat all cases with gentle efficiency.
Along with their life-changing advantages, dental implants come at a significantly higher cost than traditional alternatives. Since they’re the closest thing to natural teeth, the higher cost of dental implants is immediately matched by the improvements you will see in your overall health and the quality of your life. We recognize these transformative effects, which is why we do our best to make dental implant treatment in Stroudsburg, PA affordable for you. We’ll even connect you with dental financing companies to help break your payment down into manageable payments. Don’t wait to find out how we can make dental implants affordable for you!
