Dental implants are the next best thing to natural, gorgeous teeth! Dr. Rooney brings this progressive therapy—considered superior to dentures in comfort and appearance—to patients at our Northeast Philadelphia practice.
A dental implant begins with the surgical placement of a small, biocompatible titanium post in the socket left by a missing tooth. In a short time, your bone tissue will fuse with the titanium post, creating a sturdy, secure foundation. Next, Dr. Rooney permanently places an aesthetic crown on the top of the post. A dental implant’s titanium post functions as a strong root, and the crown as a tooth. Dental implants act and feel like healthy, natural teeth. They also create internal support for cheeks and prevent bone deterioration, thereby preserving a youthful facial shape and creating a beautiful smile to last a lifetime.
If it’s time to replace your dentures, or if you are missing teeth, contact our Northeast Philadelphia dentist office. Dr. Rooney will assess your situation and determine if dental implants are a solution for you. For more information, see the dental implants section in our library.
