Dental Implant Candidacy

Dental implants may be the right solution for you, if:

You want to replace missing teeth with natural-looking restorations. Dental implants look and function like your natural teeth. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root, forming a strong foundation for your crown, bridge, or denture.

You want to restore your confidence. Because they look so natural, dental implants restore beauty to your smile so you’ll feel more confident showing it off. And unlike other types of tooth replacement options that can slip out of place, you can be confident that your implant-supported restorations will stay securely in place.

You want a long-lasting solution that will protect your oral health. By replacing missing teeth, dental implants minimize the risk of oral infections such as gum disease. In addition, implants are the only tooth replacement option that is attached directly to your jawbone, keeping it strong and healthy.

At The Center for Progressive Dentistry, as long as you have the desire to improve your smile by replacing missing teeth, we will do whatever it takes to help you make it a reality!

Your Initial Dental Implant Consultation

The first step in your dental implant journey starts with scheduling a consultation with Dr. Bedich at his practice in Cortland, near Warren, OH. During this consultation, he will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to determine if your mouth is prepared for dental implant placement. Generally  it’s recommended to have a strong, healthy jawbone and a mouth free from gum disease to achieve a successful dental implant outcome. However, if your mouth isn’t up to par, Dr. Bedich offers a full range of supplemental treatments designed to get your teeth, gums, and jawbone ready for the procedure.

In order to ensure the best results, Dr. Bedich will speak with you about your goals for tooth replacement, address any concerns you may have, and explain the dental implant process in detail. Consulting with Dr. Bedich will help you determine if dental implant are the right option for you. If you decide that they are, our Cortland dentist will tailor treatment according to your specific needs.
