At Cosmetic and General Dental Care in Roseland, Dr. RoseAnn Giannella practices a full scope of general and cosmetic dentistry. One treatment she often performs is dental implants, used both for patients with missing teeth and with dentures. Dental implants have become the norm for those missing a tooth, as they act as a replacement that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Patients regain the ability to eat normally and can smile with confidence.
More and more patients are also turning to dental implants as a way to secure their dentures. In this procedure, dental implants are placed in the bone and the dentures are then attached to the implants. As noted by Dr. Giannella, “They provide a secure placement of the denture. The benefit of getting implants with dentures is that they are not removable like most dentures, so they don’t move around– they fit securely.” For patients unhappy with the huge lifestyle change of living with dentures, implants work as a way to make dentures easier to deal with.
