Whether it be the result of an accident, oral disease or other reasons, having one or more missing teeth can be a major cause of inconvenience and embarrassment. It used to be that the only way to fix a missing tooth was with dentures or crowns. These days, more and more patients and dentists are turning towards dental implants. Manhattan Periodontal Associates dentist, Dr. Toscano and his team are skilled when it comes to restorative dentistry and the use of dental implants to correct complications from missing teeth.

Dental implants are the most natural replacement for tooth loss. The implants are titanium fixtures that are directly placed into your jawbone, and serve as an anchor for crowns, bridges or dentures; in essence, they are a direct replacement for the root of your tooth. Implants can be used to support the replacement of one missing tooth, or a full set of teeth if needed. Because the implants look and feel so natural, they are ideal as a tooth replacement option for anyone with good general oral health– you may forget you’ve ever lost a tooth!

If you have missing teeth or your dentures are becoming a nuisance, you may want to consider dental implants. Manhattan dentist, Dr. Toscano practices periodontal dentistry and is highly recommended when it comes to implants and tooth replacement. Call our office today for a consultation!
