A West Haven and Milford CT implant dentist offers freedom from dentures

It used to be that when West Haven and Milford CT residents lost a tooth or teeth they had to be fitted for dentures and dental bridges. Even though cosmetic dentists were careful to take good molds for the most comfortable denture fit possible, still, it was uncomfortable for many. Patients complained of slipping and sliding dentures while eating or having conversations. Denture wearers were forced to use messy adhesives and then take the dentures out to soak in cleanser. These downside aspects were embarrassing for many denture wearers, and might even have caused them to feel ashamed that they needed dentures in the first place.

An implant dentist can make a difference
Implant dentistry has changed the way patients feel about teeth replacement! When an implant dentist like Dr. Joseph Tartagni at Shoreline Dental Care places the titanium and nickel posts (the actual dental implant) into the patient’s jaw, it is there for good. The jawbone has unique reaction to the titanium post: It grows around the post, securing it permanently into the bone. The porcelain replacement tooth is screwed into the post, and it is there for good! Patients who couldn’t enjoy biting into a juicy steak or a ripe, red apple, have expressed feeling liberated, free to enjoy the foods they once couldn’t enjoy with dentures and dental bridges, after visiting the implant dentist.

If you are ready to replace those dentures and dental bridges, call Shoreline Dental Care, your West Haven and Milford CT dentist today and make an appointment with Dr. Tartagni, an implant dentist who is ready to provide a permanent solution to restore your beautiful smile!
