Dental Implants Look and Feel Like Natural Teeth!

Are you a candidate for Dental Implants?

A dental implant is commonly made of titanium and replaces the root of a missing tooth. Replacement teeth are then placed on the post to provide a natural, durable and esthetic replacement for your missing tooth or teeth.

Dr. Smilovits is fully trained and experienced in the placements of dental implants. He can design and execute a full implant treatment procedure right in our office.

Dr. Smilovits will design your implant treatment plan, place the implant post and then place a replacement tooth. In many cases the final crown can be placed on the same day as the implant.

The first step will be to get a complete examination by Dr. Smilovits to determine whether dental implants are the best way to replace your missing tooth or teeth. He will then prepare a full treatment plan.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Not only does a dental implant fill unsightly gaps in a smile, they are also important to deter bone loss which will occur when a tooth is lost. The titanium post fuses with the bone preventing it from dissolving.

Fixed bridges and removable dentures are not the perfect solution to missing teeth and often bring with them a number of other problems.

When teeth are lost, the bone which held the roots of the teeth starts to dissolve, and so removable dentures — which use this bone for support—may slip or cause sores on the gums because the dentures will not be as stable.

Would you be able to tell the middle tooth is really an implant?

Are you a candidate for dental implants?

The ideal candidate for a dental implant is in good general and oral health. Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support the implant. Some people who have lost bone in their jaw can still get implants, but the bone must first be rebuilt using special bone-grafting procedures.

If your bone structure is adequate and bone-grafting is not required, the permanent dental implant, post and tooth restoration can be placed in one visit.

People who are currently wearing partial or full dentures can replace these with dental implants, or use implants to stabilize and secure the denture, making it much more comfortable.

Testimonials

"I will not experience pain because of Dr. Smilovits' light hand."

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Smilovits for more than 20 years. Kids always dislike going to the dentist, but our daughter was never scared of him. She said it was because he never caused her pain. Even back then, Dr. Smilovits had the light touch. My husband and I liked his expertise and so we also became his patients.

During the years that I have been Dr. Smilovits’ patient, I had emergencies, like a broken tooth, broken bridge, inflammations and more. I have also had regular care, like cleaning and fillings. If it was an emergency, Dr. Smilovits would always find the time to see me right away. If I had a regular appointment, I never had to wait more than a few minutes before I was taken into the room. My most recent experience was a tooth extraction and subsequent implant.

But there is one thing that I am most happy about – which is that I know I will not experience pain because of Dr. Smilovits’ light hand.

"Every procedure I have had with Dr. Smilovits, including dental implants, has had no discomfort."

I have been a patient of Dr. Smilovits for almost two years. My experience with dentists in the past has caused me a great deal of pain and fear, which caused me not to attend dental visits for care of my teeth.

From day one Dr. Smilovits and his staff have been very professional. Dr. Smilovits explained to me what I would need to do to get my dental health on track. He is the best dentist I have encountered in my adult life. He is caring and gentle. Every procedure I have had with Dr. Smilovits including deep cleanings, root canals and dental implants has had no discomfort—which was hard for me to comprehend considering my experience with other dentists in the past. Plus, Dr. Smilovits' dental work is flawless.

Dr. Smilovits and his staff are the best!

"The procedure was painless and I never have to think about that tooth again."

I have been a patient of Dr. Smilovits since 1991. He was referred to me by several of my business associates and for that I am most grateful. His simple, calm approach to dentistry has been most reassuring to me. Several years ago he advised me that I would need an implant to replace a broken tooth. He took the time to explain to me the process, what I should expect throughout the procedures and how this would be far better than having a partial denture. As he promised, the procedure was painless and I never have to think about that tooth again.

In addition to being a great dentist, Dr. Smilovits has assembled a truly wonderful staff of professionals. They assist him by fully supporting a broad range of dental services. They truly are a team and most delightful group. I must admit – I enjoy going to the dentist.
