American Dental Specialty Institute Keeps You Smiling
MILWAUKEE/WEST ALLIS -- MDTVNews.com -- Ahmad Eslami, DMD, MS, of the American Dental Specialty Institute in West Allis, Wisconsin, strives to understand the needs and desires of each individual patient in order to recommend treatment that best fits their life. The American Dental Specialty Institute offers state-of-the-art service while providing a comfortable environment with a personal touch. Their sedation dentistry allows for even the most apprehensive patients to receive the best treatment available. The American Dental Specialty Institute's friendly dental team believes patients are not just sets of teeth, but rather human beings that deserve the best they have to offer.
Replacing missing or failing teeth is easier than ever without compromising cosmetics. Instead of a bridge or partial denture, patients can enjoy dental implants that look and feel like real teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium, which, like natural teeth, allow bone to adhere to it. Dental implants are safe, effective, and proven to last longer than bridges or partial dentures. Dental implants can replace a tooth or series of teeth anywhere in the mouth without compromising the health of adjacent teeth and often result in a more functional and esthetic smile.
Dental implants consist of three parts. First, the titanium piece, which is implanted in the bone like a natural tooth, then the abutment, which is held by the titanium piece above the gum, and then the final crown, which adheres to the abutment. Depending on where in the mouth the implant is to be placed determines the number of steps to be taken during the process of building a completed dental implant. The final crown of the implant will be placed by the family dentist who referred the patient (or to whom American Dental Specialty Institute referred the patient). The American Dental Specialty Institute works with many dentists in southeastern Wisconsin, and is willing to train dentists on the final crown process, if needed.
In cases where all of the teeth have been lost and dentures are needed, dental implants are used to retain bone and hold teeth so the smile looks and feels natural. Patients do not have to worry about what they eat as the denture teeth are held firmly and are never removed. These implant-retained teeth should be cleaned just like natural teeth by the patient and by the hygienist at least twice a year.
