Dental implants Cosmetic Treatment

Missing teeth can significantly impact your life, from limiting food choices to affecting speech and self-esteem. Top Center City Dentist Dr. Eidelson, a distinguished Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, offers advanced dental implants in Philadelphia. These implants restore smiles and quality of life with state-of-the-art care, providing an optimal solution for tooth loss.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants are a bio-compatible solution that replicates natural tooth roots, designed to mimic the entire tooth structure from the titanium root to the visible crown. They provide a healthy, natural-feeling alternative to traditional bridges and dentures, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.

How dental implants work

What is the procedure like?

The Dental Implant procedure with Philadelphia dentist Dr. Eidelson is thorough and patient-focused, involving unique steps depending on the treatment needed:

01.

Single Tooth Replacement

The process begins with implanting a titanium post in the jawbone, replacing the missing tooth’s root. Once healed and integrated with the bone, a crown is attached to this implant, perfectly mimicking a natural tooth.

02.

Multiple Tooth Replacement

For several missing teeth, multiple implants are placed strategically in the jaw. These serve as anchors for dental bridges, replacing the missing teeth in a row and restoring functionality and aesthetics.

03.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

In cases of extensive tooth loss, a series of implants are placed throughout the jaw. These implants support full dentures or multiple bridges, providing a comprehensive solution for restoring the entire mouth’s function and appearance.

Dental Implants vs Other Traditional Restorations

Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional restorations like dental bridges. Implants replace the entire tooth, from root to crown, preserving jawbone health and preventing bone loss. They also don’t require altering adjacent healthy teeth, as bridges often do. Implants provide a more natural feel and function, resembling real teeth in both appearance and use. While bridges are a quicker and less invasive solution, implants offer greater longevity and stability, making them a preferable choice for long-term dental health and aesthetics.

Happy Patients

“Dr Eidelson is the absolute best. One of my Veneers broke from my overbite and last minute on a Friday and holiday weekend, stopped his plans and met me at the office in 1 hour. He made sure I was comfortable, and fixed my tooth with no problem at all. He is very caring and goes above and beyond for me every visit. He worries almost as if they are his own teeth and I could not ask for a better dentist!!!”
