Dental Implants for Your Solid Smile

Sat, 21 May 2011 17:07:24 +0000

Do you need replacement teeth?
Do you hate your dentures?
Is it time to replace your worn-out bridge or partial?

Missing teeth lead to a list of problems, from difficultly chewing and dietary limitations, to embarrassment in your appearance. Without all of your teeth, remaining teeth shift out of place to compensate for the workload of chewing and biting. This can lead to malocclusion, TMJ disorder, teeth grinding, and tooth wear or breakage. Whether you need to replace missing teeth or you wear dentures, but find them uncomfortable or cumbersome, you now have another option.
Dr. Sokol may recommend dental implants to replace individual teeth or to secure a bridge, denture, or partial. Each implant features a small, biocompatible post that acts as a replacement tooth root. A single crown or a multiple-tooth prosthetic can be anchored to implant posts.
Benefits of dental implants include:

Surrounding teeth are not altered because implants are self-supported.
Implants require no special care. Just brush, floss, and attend regular checkups.
Implants never slip, like dentures, and they never need relining.
Implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
Implants look, feel, and function like strong, healthy teeth.

Dr. Sokol works with trusted oral surgeons and periodontists for the surgical placement of dental implants. This interdisciplinary approach to implant dentistry ensures that you’ll receive the expert care you deserve during both the surgical and restorative phases of treatment. After your implants are placed, Dr. Sokol will design and secure your final restorations.

Invisalign: A Clear Choice for Adults & Teens

Image-conscious adults and teens often shy away from orthodontic treatment, because metal braces can appear bulky and obvious. The thought of wearing metal braces for two years is a real deterrent. If your teeth are crooked, now you have an alternative to traditional braces.
With Invisalign clear aligners, Dr. Sokol provides effective orthodontic treatment – in less time than traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are clear acrylic oral appliances, custom made to gently shift teeth into proper position. Not only are these aligners inconspicuous, they’re also removable. You can take out your Invisalign aligners for special occasions or when brushing and flossing your teeth.
Invisalign braces are:

Clear & Inconspicuous
Removable
Comfortable
Effective
Fast – average treatment lasts 9-18 months
