Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. If you have lost teeth, implants let you eat virtually anything and speak, laugh and smile with confidence, knowing that your teeth are secure and appear natural.
The dental implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
The Periodontal Specialists’ director, Dr. Herbert Veisman, has received extensive training in Implant Dentistry during his specialty training at Columbia University and over the past 20 years of practice. Through continuing education, The Periodontal Specialists keep current on advances in implant dentistry and share their knowledge with other local dentists and dental specialists through the PerioShare CE workshops.
New teeth while you wait
Teeth in an Hour™ is a revolutionary concept providing patients who have healthy jawbones with fully functioning, implant-supported teeth in a single procedure that lasts about an hour.
The fabrication of your artificial tooth or teeth is done before the dental implants are placed. The procedure is done in an arthroscopic fashion that does not require The Periodontal Specialists to cut a flap in the gum. There is less post-operative discomfort, less swelling and less bruising.
We work collaboratively with your dentist to craft comprehensive, personalized treatment options that give you the best chance of achieving long-lasting, natural looking results.
