I began working as a Dental Assistant while studying Biology at Assumption college. After graduating, I decided dental hygiene was the career I wanted to pursue. I graduated from Forsyth Dental Hygiene at MCPHS in 2016 and since Ive entered the workforce my goal is to provide each patient with excellent care. My skill set will make your visit to the office a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Establishing good home care and overall oral health is the goal!
If you have missing teeth, you should have them replaced as soon as possible. This keeps your remaining teeth from shifting position and prevents long-term damage to your jawbone. There are several options for replacing teeth, including dentures and bridges. For the most stable, permanent solution, consider dental implants, the only option that permanently ensures your teeths structure.
Dental implants are replacement teeth, consisting of a titanium root which is anchored in your gums, a support post or abutment, and a crown that precisely simulates a natural tooth. Many patients report that dental implants look, feel, and function the closest to natural teeth. Implants preserve your facial contours, giving you a confident smile and restoring eating and speaking ability. The titanium root bonds with your jawbone, forming a rock-solid foundation for artificial teeth. Missing teeth cause your jawbone to weaken, and implants prevent this deterioration thanks to the solid connection between metal and bone.
Many factors determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants, including your age, health history, and the strength of your jawbone. Before committing to the procedure, we strongly suggest a dental/radiographic examination to assess your oral health. This exam will be performed by either Dr. Camille or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon that we refer you to.
Though dental implant surgery is an involved process, it leaves you with a strong, new set of fully functional teeth. Call today to explore dental implants and find out if theyre a good option. The Dentist at Framingham staff will be more than happy to answer your questions.
