Dental Implants

Missing teeth will change your life. In addition to the awkward appearance of a smile without all of its teeth, you may experience difficulty speaking and chewing. Dr. Incampo often recommends durable, aesthetically pleasingdental implants to replace missing teeth and restore total oral function and beauty. Adequate bone density and good oral health are required prior to dental implant placement. After a comprehensive exam, Dr. Incampo can help you decide whether dental implants are right for you. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Incampo provides preparatory treatment, like bone grafting and gum disease therapy, as well as dental implantplacement surgery.

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. A tiny titanium rod serves as a tooth root and anchors a custom crown or other prosthetic. Because implants look and feel like natural teeth, many patients prefer them to denturespartials, and bridges.

How are dental implants attached?
Dr. Incampo will examine your smile to determine if you qualify for implants. If implants are right for you, he’ll place tiny titanium posts in your jaw, one for each missing tooth or a few to anchor a prosthetic. Your jawbone will fuse with the posts and provide a strong, permanent base for your replacement teeth.

Can Dr. Incampo perform the entire implant procedure?
Yes. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Incampo is a specialist in implant dentistry. This means he’s uniquely qualified to perform all phases of your procedure from pre-treatments, like bone grafts, to implant placement and tooth restoration. The entire process will be completed in our dental office by Dr. Incampo and our friendly, knowledgeable dental team.

Short on Time - Crowns in One Visit

June 4th, 2009

Do you need a crown to restore a broken or severely worn tooth, but don’t have time for multiple dental visits? And what if your temporary crown falls off? We understand that time in the dental chair imposes on your busy schedule, so Dr. Incampo uses revolutionary CEREC technology to custom-mill strong, beautiful crowns while you wait!

If you qualify for a CEREC one-visit crown, you won’t need to wear a temporary or wait weeks to receive your permanent restoration. Dr. Incampo will take a 3D image of your tooth, and our state-of-the-art CEREC machine will craft a custom restoration specifically for your unique smile. In less time than you thought possible, Dr. Incampo will design, produce, and place a custom, lab-quality crown to restore your smile and get you back to your busy life!

Dr. Incampo may suggest a CEREC-produced inlay or onlay for a damaged tooth that doesn’t require a full crown but needs more restoration than a filling can provide. Like a CEREC crown, your inlay or onlay will be designed, created, and applied in a single visit.
