Dental Implants

Dental implants help our Pittsburgh, PA patients to replace missing teeth with a permanent solution. Many patients who visit our North Hills dental practice have one or multiple missing teeth. This can impact their ability to eat, drink, and also affect their confidence. Rather than opt for a bridge or partial denture, they ask us about our dental implants. Implants are considered permanent because after the titanium post is implanted, it cannot be removed. The crown over the implant may need to be replaced in about 15 years, but this is a simple procedure.

There are also some other unique benefits our patients find in getting a dental implant. Among them is the fact that there is lower bone loss over time. Patients who have lost a tooth are at risk of losing their bone density and volume when they have a missing tooth. This can have adverse effects as they age. But with our dental implants, their jawbone forms and grows around the metal post, allowing more stability in the bone itself. This is one of the top reasons patients choose to have an implant performed.

Another reason patients choose dental implants here at Dr. Michael Corsello’s practice is because they are made to function and look like natural teeth. The crown is made from impressions of adjacent teeth and the implant is permanent. It makes for the next best thing to natural teeth.
