Complete Your Smile
Some patients may believe that dental implants have one function only, but in actuality, there are many advantages to this unique device. At Lehigh Valley Oral Surgery and Implant Center, we strive to help patients understand their treatments fully, including dental implants and what they have to offer. Take a look below at just a few examples of the dental implant benefits that patients have experienced.
Confidence with Eating and Speaking
After losing a tooth, one of the most common things that a patient will experience is a little awkwardness when eating or speaking. After all, there’s now a large gap in your smile that can make normal chewing and speaking difficult. But by placing a dental implant in the empty space, you fill in that troublesome gap and can eat and speak with distinction again.
Improved Oral Health
A gap in your smile can leave the area exposed to all sorts of bacteria and potential infections. In addition, neighboring teeth can start to shift out of place, and the resulting loosening can also leave tender areas exposed. Dental implants not only fill the gap and keep other teeth from shifting, but they can also improve the oral health of your jawbone through osseointegration.
Restores Youthful Appearance
Osseointegration is what sets dental implants apart from other dental devices that tend to rest on top of the jawbone. As a result of the process, the jawbone tends to regenerate, helping fill out a patient’s facial structure better. Losing jawbone is a natural occurrence after tooth loss, as there is no stimulation in that area of the jawbone any longer. Dental implants help regenerate this lost support, erasing signs of premature aging on your face.
Long-Term Resilience
Dental implants are not a temporary solution for tooth loss. They are permanently placed, embedded into the jawbone. Due to this process, dental implants are remarkably resilient, able to tear into and endure your favorite foods. On average, implants can last anywhere from a few decades to a lifetime, so long as they are cared for properly.
Low Maintenance
Dental implants are non-organic, meaning that they won’t be directly affected by bacteria or infections. This makes cleaning in and around your implant much easier. In addition, there are no special tools needed to clean them; instead, patients can simply use a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss to keep it clean. Make sure to attend routine dental visits as well, so that your implant can be cleaned in places you can’t reach.

Consultation service was remarkable. The staff at the Stroudsburg office were so kind and welcoming. Big impact for first appearance. So I am thankful how informative and kind the staff members were. Even Dr.Kim was present and informative as to how the surgery was going to go. The day of surgery I went to the Bethlehem office, once again was welcomed by the staff at that location with kindness and welcoming persona’s. Dr Kim was my surgeon, her along with the team that were present were so attentive and explained everything, which helped keep me at ease. My experience was great!

I forgot to write a review two years ago, but my experience here was actually amazing. I had a wisdom tooth removal. I don’t remember much but I remember being instructed on care. I have healed up wonderfully too. Thanks for the help.

I have only good things to say about my experience yesterday. My sincere thanks for your five star service. You ushered me out of a painful situation that was threatening to last MONTHS because of the state of healthcare in rural PA. The fees were reasonable especially for such speedy and friendly service in a professional, relaxing office. Great work, all.
