Alex Krasne • January 22, 2024

As the new year unfolds, it's the perfect time to envision positive changes in various aspects of our lives, including our smiles.Parkway Restorative Dentistry invites you to explore the transformative benefits of dental implants—a cutting-edge solution for achieving a new year and a new smile.

The Evolution of Dental Implants

Dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry. Unlike traditional solutions like dentures or bridges, dental implants offer a permanent and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. As we delve into the benefits, let's understand why dental implants are increasingly becoming the preferred choice for those seeking a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Aesthetic Excellence

Achieving Natural-Looking Smiles

Dental implants mimic the appearance of natural teeth, providing an unparalleled aesthetic advantage. The materials used in implants are designed to replicate the color, shape, and translucency of real teeth, ensuring your smile looks both authentic and radiant.

Boosting Confidence

Say goodbye to self-consciousness. Dental implants not only restore missing teeth but also give you the confidence to showcase your smile without hesitation. Parkway Restorative Dentistry specializes in crafting personalized implant solutions that seamlessly blend with your natural teeth.

Functional Freedom

Restoring Chewing Functionality

Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants offer stability and functionality similar to natural teeth. Whether it's enjoying your favorite foods or speaking with clarity, dental implants provide a renewed sense of normalcy, allowing you to savor life without restrictions.

Permanent Solution, Long-Term Benefits

Dental implants are a permanent solution that, with proper care, can last a lifetime. This longevity makes them a cost-effective investment compared to alternatives that may require frequent replacements or adjustments.

Preserving Oral Health

Preventing Bone Loss

Tooth loss can lead to bone deterioration in the jaw, affecting facial structure and overall oral health. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone and preventing the loss of bone density. This preservation contributes to maintaining a youthful appearance and overall oral health.

Simplifying Oral Hygiene

Caring for dental implants is as straightforward as caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are essential to ensure the longevity and health of your implants. Parkway Restorative Dentistry guides patients with personalized care instructions to maintain optimal oral hygiene.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is the Dental Implant Procedure Painful?

The dental implant procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the surgery. Any postoperative pain can be managed with prescribed medications. Parkway Restorative Dentistry prioritizes patient comfort and uses advanced techniques to minimize potential discomfort.

Q2: How Long Does the Dental Implant Process Take?

The duration of the dental implant process varies based on individual cases. On average, it involves several stages, including implant placement, a healing period, and the attachment of replacement teeth. While the process may take a few months, the results are well worth the wait.

Q3: How Do I Care for Dental Implants?

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential for maintaining oral health. Parkway Restorative Dentistry provides personalized care instructions to ensure the longevity of your implants.

Q4: Are Dental Implants Covered by Insurance?

Coverage for dental implants varies among insurance plans. Parkway Restorative Dentistry works closely with patients to explore financing options and maximize insurance benefits, making the transformative benefits of dental implants accessible to more individuals.

You Want To See My What?!

By Dr. Alex Krasne • May 16, 2019

One of the most important issues to protect a patient’s privacy and collect the most amount from your insurance is to make sure we keep up to date with our patient’s data. In order to do that many times we will ask for you to provide us with an identification card, insurance card, or update our privacy forms. This is why we ask you to provide this information at each appointment. I wanted to take a minute to explain why we do these things and how they benefit our patients: Identification Cards: ID Cards are one of the best ways to protect our patient’s privacy and maximize their insurance benefits. By keeping an ID on file we have a reference for that person as well as their signature. If someone ever came to the office claiming to be someone they are not they could possible steal your information. Furthermore, having an ID on file can sometimes help us file claims faster with insurance if there is any missing information in the chart Insurance Cards: Many people may work at one company for many years and see their dental benefits change almost annually. Not only do companies change dental insurance providers, they also can change plan types, benefit levels, and even the type of services covered! Finally, the date on when your insurance “renews” also changes. Previously almost all insurances followed the calendar year January to December, but now these changes can happen at almost any time. By collecting this information and being able to verify your benefits we make sure you get what you deserve! Updated Forms: Perhaps the most important form in our office is the Patient Privacy form. It allows us to discuss treatment with you as well as any other people you may want (spouses, children, parents, etc) but, we must have explicit permission to do so. On top of that, we want you to know that we take your data and your privacy seriously and want to protect you from any one stealing your data and this part of that process. Thank you for understanding why we ask for this information. It may sometimes seem strange or invasive but everything we do and will always do is for the benefit of our patients and to make your dental experience as safe and secure as possible!
