Dental Implants

Could You Benefit from Dental Implants?

If you need to replace missing teeth, dental implants provide the closest thing to a real tooth. Implants are anchored to the jaw in a way that mimics the natural tooth root, so you don’t have to worry about them coming out or moving out of position. After dental implant surgery, you can confidently eat what you like since implants function just like real teeth, unlike dentures. Implants also stimulate bone growth and can help prevent changes to the face from bone loss.

At one time, dentures and bridges were the primary treatments to replace lost teeth, but dental implants have changed that. Dental implants are secured in the jawbone with a titanium post that’s connected to a natural-looking crown. The new tooth can be brushed and flossed just like a natural tooth. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Charles Loschiavo, was one of the first to perform dental implant surgery in Tucson, drawing on his extensive schooling and training to introduce the community to this smile-restoring procedure.
With dentures and bridges, bone loss in the jaw may accelerate and even change the way you look.
With dentures and bridges, bone loss in the jaw may accelerate and even change the way you look. Dental implants help people maintain their appearance as well as their ability to eat and speak without impediment. When teeth are lost, the underlying bone begins to lose mass from lack of stimulation. Implants mimic natural chewing, which in turn stimulates bone growth. Without adequate bone mass, facial features may appear far more aged, droopy, and wrinkled.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Patient Comfort Is a Priority

Many people are hesitant to seek dental care because of fear of pain. When faced with the need for dental implant surgery, it’s understandable that any patient might be concerned about the procedure and possible discomfort. At the Arizona Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we go the extra mile to ensure our patients have a comfortable experience.

Our patient Stephan said:

“I was told to seek an oral surgeon. And doing some research I came to Dr. Loschiavo’s office. I needed two teeth pulled and three implants. All his work was communicated to me before he began his work. Office staff always made me comfortable and relaxed before and during the procedures. Dr. Loschiavo also made sure I was comfortable and not in pain. I would highly recommend his office and would not hesitate in using him in the future.”
