It’s a New Year, which is the time of the year when you look at yourself more closely. You look at yourself and think of things you want to change. Perhaps one of those changes you want to make this year is your smile. If you are looking at your teeth in the mirror, and you are less than satisfied with the way your smile looks, you have options. One of the best options for smile restoration is a dental implant. Here are some reasons why dental implants work better than dentures.
Why Dental Implants?
If you are missing one tooth, a couple of teeth, or a lot of teeth, implants can help. A dental implant is a porcelain crown that sits atop a screw. The screw actually screws into your jawbone, which acts as an anchor. Implants are the closest thing to having your real teeth back that you can get. In fact, your gums will remain pink and healthy, because your body will believe that your teeth are still intact. This is perhaps the largest advantage to dental implants.
Dental implants can also be used to replace several teeth at one time. Implants can replace all of your teeth with the newest techniques in dentistry. Because they are permanent, there’s no removing them to clean them, or worrying about whether or not they smell bad. In fact, you can care for your dental implants in much the same way you care for your permanent teeth.
Dental implants are a great way to make sure that your teeth look the best that you possibly can. If you are missing teeth, you need to take a look at implants.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry
There are several different types of dentistry. In addition to your bi-annual cleanings, you may also be interested in cosmetic dentistry. To learn what cosmetic dentistry is, keep reading.
Cosmetic dentistry is a type of dentistry that focuses on the appearance of your teeth. Even though cosmetic dentistry is designed to make your smile more attractive, it can also improve your oral health. Dr. Lattinelli can perform five main cosmetic procedures.
The first main cosmetic procedure Dr. Lattinelli can provide to you is inlays and onlays. Inlays and onlays are made from composite resins. They're designed to restore the look of decayed or damaged teeth. An inlay is used if your teeth have damage, but the tooth cusps are intact. An onlay is used to cover the entire tooth surface.
The next procedure is composite bonding. The composite material is applied directly to a damaged tooth and a bonding material is applied after color is added to match the rest of the teeth. Another procedure to consider is veneers, which are made from ceramic and cover the front of individual teeth.
Teeth whitening is a common cosmetic dental procedure that can brighten your teeth. During teeth whitening, plaque, tartar, and stains are removed from your smile. The final cosmetic dental procedure Dr. Lattinelli can perform for your implants. If you have missing teeth, implants can be used to replace these teeth. A titanium screw is put into the bone below the missing tooth area, acting as a support for the replacement tooth. This is known as a crown, which is created in a laboratory. Implants are just as strong as normal teeth. They also look incredibly natural.
