Dentist in the 02446 zip code area explains the benefits of implant supported dentures

Explains the benefits of implant supported dentures

If you are missing teeth and thinking about having dentures stabilized with dental implants, here are a few important facts to consider.

  • What are dental implants? Dental implants serve as a replacement for missing tooth roots. We utilize zirconia dental implants, which are a metal-free, biocompatible alternative to traditional titanium implants.
  • How long is the process? The process for dental implants can be lengthy. Once surgically implanted, the area will need to heal. This healing, called osseointegration allows the rod to fuse with the jawbone and become part of the structure of the mouth. The healing time can take anywhere from four to nine months.
  • Are implants safe? Implants are safe and can actually help improve the overall health of your mouth. When you are missing a tooth, the remaining teeth can become weakened or shift out of place. You can also begin to lose bone structure. Implants help keep the jawbone stimulated and act as support for the correct alignment of the teeth.
  • Will my dentures look fake? Not at all, dentures stabilized by implants are one of the most natural looking dental restorations available. The appliance will be custom fabricated to fit perfectly in your mouth, matching the shape, color, and size of your natural teeth.
  • Are dental implants my best option? Traditional dentures sit on top of the gum and can easily shift out of place and be uncomfortable. Dentures that are stabilized with dental implants provide a secure, beautiful outcome.

I drive over an hour from Cape Cod for all my dental work because Dr. Kovtun is one of the few Biological dentists around. Not only is he a master at dentistry but he offers a healthier holistic approach to oral health that is so important to me. Often times, conventional dentists overlook at the importance or how oral health effects the entire body. He and his staff are super nice and I'm glad I found them!! Read More

Have been a patient here for quite a while now. It was hard to find a dentist that I trusted in the area, but I've really enjoyed this practice. They tend to be conservative with their assessment, which I really value - no unnecessary treatments, and my teeth feel and look great. Read More

Dr. Kovtun is great. I chipped my 7-year molar, and he was able to fit me in the very next morning! He safely, quickly, and painlessly removed my old amalgam filling and prepped my tooth with a temporary fix while I wait for a beautiful new permanent one. He is knowledgeable, informative, and accomodating. The staff is super-competent and friendly. I will definitely be scheduling other dental procedures here. Excellent, excellent, excellent!!
