A dental implant is a titanium anchor which is placed into the jaw and after a
few months is healed so that it may hold a “permanent” tooth or teeth. Implants
can be used to replace 1 tooth or the entire mouth both upper and lower teeth. Dr.
Damascus has placed thousands of dental implants over the last 20 years and with
the success of implants to be in excess of 95% there is little in modern medicine
with such a predictable and safe outcome. Dr. Damascus works with your
“regular” dentist who will make the natural and excellently functioning teeth on
the implants placed. Many patients through the years have seen a surgeon desiring
implant dentistry only to be told they do not have adequate jaw bone to hold dental
implants. The strength of our practice is the development of the lost jaws due to
dental disease or tooth extraction making dental implants possible. This is
generally referred to as “ridge augmentation”. We have been able to successfully
help many patients who have been told they can not have dental implants.
Below are clinical cases displaying some of the situations where dental
implants have been utilized to restore patient’s teeth and chewing function.
