Cosmetic Implants

Having a tooth pulled is often a necessity, whether due to being impacted, infected, or because part of the tooth structure has broken off. No matter the reason, patients here at Northland Dental Medicine appreciate being able to replace the missing tooth with a dental implant.

Cosmetic implants improve and restore the patient’s smile by replacing the tooth and having a more permanent solution than the alternatives. Implants are made to look and function just like natural teeth, making them the next best thing to their permanent tooth.

By receiving cosmetic implants, patients benefit in the following ways:

1. The dental implant is permanent, as the jawbone grows around the metal post.

2. The dental implants work, look, and feel like natural teeth.

3. The patient’s speech and eating is improved through a more secure tooth replacement option.

4. The patient's dental implant becomes comfortable and barely noticeable, as opposed to other alternatives.

5. Patients feel more confident with cosmetic implants, improving their own self esteem.

With cosmetic implants, patients don’t need to worry about the implant wearing away later on, as the jawbone heals around the implant, holding it into place. A crown is placed on the top that matches their adjacent teeth. If these benefits of cosmetic implants sound good to you, visit Dr. Michael Corsello’s Pittsburgh, PA office.

CEREC

CEREC

If you have had a crown in the past, it most likely involved a few office visits, messy impressions and wearing a temporary crown for a few weeks. At Northland Dental Medicine, we offer the latest technology to improve the experience of getting a crown by making it simpler and faster.

Using the CEREC procedure, we can offer our patients dental crowns in only one visit. The process starts with Dr. Corsello examining and determining the extent of treatment, which is needed. If a crown is recommended, the tooth will be prepared, which includes removing decay. An impression is taken digitally, which eliminates the need for a traditional dental impression using a tray and impression material.

A 3D virtual model of your tooth is created using the CEREC technology. The virtual model is fine-tuned by Dr. Corsello, and the data is sent to the in-office milling machine. The entire process is completed in one office visit.

We know you have options when choosing dental care. That’s why at Northland Dental Medicine, we strive to provide our patients with the best options and latest technology in dental care. We are also happy to provide free second opinion consultation.
