Dental Implants
At Advanced Dental Technology of Ithaca II PLLC in Ithaca, NY, we understand that a missing tooth or teeth can not only affect your smile, but it can impact how you eat and speak. Dental implants are often the best solution for replacing missing teeth, and since they are artificial, they can’t decay. That said, however, oral hygiene is still crucial to ensuring that the gums and bone support stay healthy.
This multi-step procedure starts with a consultation with the oral surgeon, who determines if you are a good candidate for this type of restoration. The implant patient then returns to our office for preliminary impressions, which will assist the surgeon in planning the placement of the implant.
