Trevisani Oral Surgery & Dental Implants

Lifetime Teeth Today offers several financing options that allow our patients to have the teeth they always dreamed of, eat the foods they enjoy, and smile with confidence. In addition to our financing options, patients can use low interest home equity loans, or loans from local banks. Also, depending on your age or income, there may be tax deductions available that can substantially offset the cost of your dental implants. If the dental implants exceed 10% of the cost of the patients adjusted gross income, that patient may be eligible for a tax deduction.

For the most part, you can enjoy a normal diet and all of your favorite foods. However, although the material used for your dental implants is very tough and designed for normal function, there are some things you may bite on that will be harder than the materials your implants are made from. Patients should avoid popcorn kernels, hard nuts, hard candies, hard pretzels, ice, and other foods that require crushing. Because the implants feel like your natural teeth, it may be easy to forget, and sometimes damage may occur. Fortunately, dental implants are easy and inexpensive to repair, normally done in the office for roughly the same cost as a filling. This is a distinctive advantage over standard porcelain bridges and crowns which are much more brittle, cannot be repaired, and must be completely replaced at a much higher cost.

Normally, patients return to normal activity within 3-5 days after surgery. Generally there is little pain or discomfort; however, around twenty percent of patients experience some bruising, which may cause some patients a slight delay returning to their normal routine.

If you’ve been told that you do not have enough bone, don’t be discouraged. We employ unique techniques that are beyond the scope of standard dental implants. In most cases these specialized techniques allow us to place implants using the patient’s existing bone where this would not be possible at a standard implant center. There are still cases where bone needs to be added; this can be done through a simple minor bone graft procedure using a special grafting material.

Lifetime Teeth Today is a breakthrough, simplified approach that renders a fully functional dental solution for tooth-loss in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the cost of standard implants. Lifetime Teeth Today is one of the few dental implant centers that houses a board certified oral surgeon and fully equipped lab all in one place. This makes it possible to arrive in the morning, and depart in the afternoon with a complete major mouth restoration.
