Implants
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth. Surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth. Made of titanium and other materials, implants are designed to hold restorations like crowns or bridges blend in with your other teeth, and are a long-term option for restoring your smile.

Missing
Teeth? Why Not ‘Grow’ New Ones?
We recommend dental implants to replace any missing teeth. Whether
in the front or back of the mouth, they function properly for
chewing and provide a full and healthy-looking smile. They look just
like the real deal, as they come up through the gums just like
natural teeth do. Even patients with no teeth can benefit, because
dental implants can be used to stabilize dentures so they don’t
slide when speaking or tilt when eating. After a titanium post is
placed, Dr. Bielawski will custom-create natural-looking
restorations.
As soon as a tooth is extracted, bone loss begins. At our practice,
we can fill the area of the extracted tooth with a bone graft. This
will ensure optimal quantity of bone for more predictable results
after the implant post is placed in the bone.
Overdentures – The Answer for Slipping
Dentures
People who wear dentures will tell you that the worst part is having
their teeth slip, tilt or slide while they’re eating. They have to
use denture adhesive to try to keep their teeth from moving around.
This is a major irritant for them. But now, at Lifetime Family
Dentistry we offer our denture patients an alternative –
overdentures. With the use of just a few dental implants to support
the dentures, your teeth will be “locked” into place so they won’t
move. Yet they easily snap off for cleaning. Say good bye to messy
creams! Ask us if you are a candidate for overdentures. We can also
design and fit natural-looking dentures that won't slip. This
breakthrough involves anchoring the denture plate so securely that
you no longer have to worry about the foods you eat or that your
dentures might shift or slip.
