Dental Implants
When disease or an accident ends in tooth loss, dental implants are an option to restoring your smile.
The single tooth implant replaces the missing tooth’s roots. Dental implants may be used to support a permanent bridge when several teeth are missing. The bridge replaces the lost natural teeth.
If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported denture can replace the missing teeth.The first step the dentist surgically places the implant into the jaw, with the top of the implant slightly above the top of the bone. Healing is within 3 to 6 months.
The second step is to uncover the implant and attach a post or abutment to the implant. Not all cases need this second step.
The third and final step is making a dental crown and attaching the crown to the implant post.
The picture illustrates the impression coping, the step to fabricate implant crowns and implant bridges.

My family has been going to Dr. DiPasquale for almost a year now so I have a lot of confidence in this review.
After having a very bad experience with a previous dentist, I was very happy to find Dr. DiPasquale. I rate his office very highly because he provides friendly (and never condescending) explanations, all the work we have had was very competently done, and the hygienist staff also has a great attitude and does excellent work.
I have never had to wait more than a few minutes for my appointment. Overall very pleased and would highly recommend Dr. DiPasquale.

After a long time with my former Dentist I was still missing a tooth for over 2 years. After signing up with Dr.Tony I had a bridge in just a couple of months and the feeling that I could smile again without worrying about a gap.
Great to find a really good Dentist.
