Dental implants are becoming more and more widely used in todays dentistry. The cosmetic focus of our society had people investing more time and money into their smile than ever before, and dental implants are something many are turning to. Read on for what you need to know about them!
Its Not Simple It could take quite a while to have a proper implant done by an orthodontist or cosmetic dentist. While there are one step procedures available, they are often ineffective and therefore are rarely used. More often than not, dentists will employ a three step plan that starts with the anchor of the implant being embedded into the gum line. Once that heals, you go back for them to finish the last two steps, which finish off the tooth. The success rate for these procedures is about 98% according to scientific literature.
People Choose Them for Many Reasons More than 15 million Americans have bridge and crown replacements for their missing teeth, but that isnt the only reason someone may choose to get an implant. They may get them because they were in an accident, their tooth is decaying, or it may be a simple cosmetic decision. There are tons of reasons why someone would choose to have this procedure done. Its a more popular option than you think: about 3 million Americans have dental implants currently, while the number grows by 500,000 every year.
There is a Recovery Period Depending on how the implant reacts, you will go through a recovery period of anywhere from two days to a week or so. This depends on your natural ability to heal and how you take care of your mouth. If you heal naturally quickly, you consistently rinse your mouth out, and you return to your normal oral hygiene routine, youll recover in no time!

Professional, friendly dentist and practice. Was a patient for 5-10 years. Did regular cleanings, Invisalign, and permanent retainer removal. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Paul and his staff. Only reason I left is that I moved.

A "DENTIST WITH A HEART" is what I woudl call Dr. Paul. I have been coming to Dr. Paul for almost 20 years (that's my testimony). Dr. Paul and his staff are very professional, HONEST and the office is immaculate. He takes his time with each and every patient and goes over your options and all cost (what your insurance will pay vs what is your out of pocket cost). If your looking for a dentist who truly cares about his patients, staff and community, Dr. Paul is the one for you!

It's a new year and I needed a new dentist, based on my location Dr. Paul was right around the corner. The receptionist had my paperwork ready as I walked in the door (and this was my first time going). Dr. Paul talked to me and got to know a little more about my life before my cleaning. The cleaning was relaxing and you don't feel anything because of the sonic cleaning technique. I was in and out so quickly and the work was still done efficiently. I haven't left a dentist appointment this happy since I was a kid and the reward was candy. Dr. Paul's version of that was his adorable dog and fascinating fish tank. The staff is also friendly and very helpful. I don't have insurance and I still booked all my upcoming appointments for the year because I know I won't find this kind of service anywhere else.

I have been a patient of Dr. Paul since I was 12 years old. I'll be 39 this year. I would like to commend dr. Paul and his office associates. The professionalism and growth has been a pleasure to be a part of. They have created an environment that makes you feel like you are part of the family. Thank you dr. Paul and everyone in your office for always taking care of me regardless of the procedure. There's no "being scared" or "worry" when you are in their hands. He will take care of all your dental needs professionally and most of all with the upmost Care. Thumbs up! -AJK

Due to moving, I have had a number of dentists over the years. Dr. Paul is by far the best! He is knowledgeable, skilled, patient and explains everything thoroughly. When I have had a procedure done I have never felt a thing, including removal of a wisdom tooth. My daughter and granddaughter love him too.
