General Dentistry

Dr. Seider’s expertise is often utilized during the dental implant restoration process. The use of implants within dentistry has allowed for the restoration and replacement of teeth that are in bad shape or even completely missing. They are an excellent solution for patients who have missing teeth but want long lasting and natural looking results.

Dental implants can replace one missing tooth or multiple dental implants can secure your bridge or denture for a new smile that looks and feels like it has always been there. Implants are titanium posts that are placed in the jaw as a replacement for the root of a lost tooth. Implants can also be made from other materials, like zirconium.

A dental implant restoration is made up of two main components; the implant that serves as an artificial root and a restoration that replaces the lost tooth. Implants are often fitted with crowns, but they can also serve as bases for other restoration, like bridges and dentures.

Implants are highly recommended by dentists because of their bone preserving properties. The implant transfers bite forces into the patient’s jaw, which gives the tissues there all the stimulation they need. Implants are the only oral prosthetics used in dentistry that effectively address the bone tissue breakdown that occurs when a tooth falls out.
