Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial roots that a dentist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are the sensible option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

While dental implants are considered high-tech, they are preferred by more patients vs traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.

When bone loss is a factor, Dr Cieplak may recommend bone grafting. Material is placed in the area and over time fuses to the bone creating support for the new implant. The success rate when grafting is used is much higher and the result is long lasting support. Dentures can be eliminated completely with dental implants.
