Nov 04, 2013 /prREACH/ -- An estimated 20 million American wear removable dentures or partial dentures due to tooth loss as a result of injury, age, or health. Unfortunately many denture wearers suffer daily with pain, discomfort, and diminished self-confidence due to these oral appliances. Bremerton, WA cosmetic dentist Dr. John Bial recently introduced permanent dental implants that are giving denture wearers a second chance at a fantastic smile.
“Dental implants really are the latest improvement in dentistry for restorative care, and we’re excited to offer them to our local patients who currently wear dentures,” said Dr. John Bial, dental implants dentist in Bremerton, WA. “We’ve seen the amazing difference implants make for everyday comfort, self-confidence, and overall an improved lifestyle.”
Unlike dentures that require cumbersome bonding strips and pastes, dental implants are 100 percent secure and are designed to last a lifetime. They consist of a small titanium stud that is implanted into the jawbone and allowed to heal, and a porcelain crown that is attached to that stud once the healing is complete. The entire implant mimics the natural structure of the tooth, only it provides more benefits such as creating more bite force and not being susceptible to cavities.
Dr. Bial takes great care to customize dental implants to each patient depending on their situation. Dental implants can be used effectively to replace a single tooth, a series of teeth, or even the entire top or bottom arches of teeth. Patients are able to determine the shape, size, and shade of the porcelain crowns that will be attached to the implant studs.
The process to complete dental implants generally takes several months to allow the titanium implants to fuse to the bone, but once completed, the implants are designed to last for a lifetime.
As well as dental implants, Dr. John Bial is also a trained laser dentist in Bremerton, WA to offer patients the latest technology in gum treatment and effective restorations. He is a certified provider of Invisalign in Bremerton, WA and also specializes in biomimetic dentistry.
Dr. Bial received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Illinois, College of Dentistry at the Medical Center in Chicago, IL. Afterward, he continued his dental education at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, where he learned the latest tools and techniques offered in dentistry. Dr. Bial completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Periodontics at the Naval Dental Center in Bethesda, MA and served in the U.S. Navy for 24 years. He is now retired from the military and is an active member in the ADA, Kitsap Dental Society, American Academy of Periodontology, and the Root Canals R Us study club.
