Dental implants continue to gain popularity. This long-lasting tooth replacement method offers unparalled benefits, including a natural look and feel, outstanding durability, and preservation of jawbone mass. We know that many people have questions about implants. Here, we’ve provided answers to some of the questions we frequently receive about this unique restorative dentistry solution offered by Wakefield/North Andover prosthodontist Dr. Paolo Incampo.

What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a tiny rod made of surgical-grade titanium. Surgically placed into jawbone tissue, the rod functions as a tooth root and secures a replacement tooth.

How are dental implants used?
Dr. Incampo offers dental implants to replace individual missing teeth and to stabilize dentures, partials, and bridges.

What do the words “place” and “restore” mean when talking about dental implants?
Placing an implant is the surgical procedure to insert the implant post in the jawbone. Restoring refers to attaching a replacement tooth or other prosthetic atop the post(s).

Can any dentist place and restore dental implants?
Many general dentists restore dental implants. Only a specialist can perform the implant surgery. Dr. Incampo is a prosthodontist, which means that he specializes in restoring and replacing teeth. To become a prosthodontist, Dr. Incampo attended two years of advanced training after receiving his dental degree. He performs all facets of implant dentistry at our Wakefield and North Andover locations.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?
You need good oral health and adequate jawbone mass for implant success. Dr. Incampo uses advanced technology to evaluate each patient’s candidacy for implants. He performs sinus lifts, bone grafts, and other pre-treatment procedures to prepare jaws for implant placement.

Dental surgery scares me. Can you help?
We offer sedation dentistry to calm the nerves of anxious patients and make implant surgery and other procedures comfortable and stress-free.

If you’re considering dental implants to replace missing teeth or anchor a loose denture, then you’ve most likely done your homework. You probably know that a dental implant mimics natural tooth structure by replacing both the root of a tooth (the part you can’t see) and the crown of a tooth (the part you can see). Perhaps you’ve discovered that dental implants are the only tooth replacement alternative that prevents the bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing. But do you know how to choose an implant dentist to restore your treasured smile?
