Dr. Leo Kituskie Now Accepts New Patients in Wilmington, DE, Looking for Dental Implants to Replace Missing Teeth
Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) October 31, 2014 -- Dr. Leo Kituskie is currently accepting new patients, and encourages people with missing teeth to protect their long term oral health by scheduling a consultation to discuss receiving dental implants in Wilmington, DE. Dental implants are anchored in the alveolar bone, like natural teeth, so they preserve healthy bone density levels without causing damage to other teeth. Implants also offer other benefits, including a convincing appearance, a secure fit, and a low maintenance care regimen.
Tooth loss is a widespread problem; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that one out of four adults over the age of 60 have no natural teeth, while one out of 20 adults between ages 40 and 59 have lost all of their teeth. Dental implants provide a healthy solution for adults missing any number of teeth. Since implants fuse with the alveolar bone, they provide the stimulation that signals the bone to maintain itself. Without this stimulation, bone density loss irreversibly occurs, changing mouth structure and facial appearance. Implants are the only tooth replacement that stabilizes bone density levels, and they also prevent natural teeth from shifting into gaps left by missing teeth. Additionally, implants allow people to eat full diets and speak naturally.
Implants may not be the ideal solution for every person. Dr. Kituskie must hold a consultation to determine whether each patient is a good candidate for dental implants in Wilmington, DE. People with existing oral health problems, such as gum disease or habits that adversely affect oral health like smoking, may need to address those issues before they can receive implants. People who have been missing teeth for months or longer may not have adequate bone density in place to support dental implants. These patients may need to have a bone graft to become eligible for implants.
Dr. Kituskie encourages patients who are interested in dental implants in Wilmington, DE to schedule their consultations as soon as they can after their teeth have been lost. This reduces the risk that developments such as bone density loss or other health problems will make a patient a poor candidate for the implant placement procedure. Patients are welcome to visit Dr. Kituskie’s website or call his office directly to schedule an appointment.
