Dental implants are fast becoming the most popular tooth replacement option. Unlike other dental restorations, dental implants restore the entire tooth from the roots up offering a more stable, longer lasting result. Additionally, dental implants aid in bone and gum tissue retention. Dental implants are a great technique for offering superior tooth replacement. Unfortunately, patients with bone density loss and immune compromising health conditions like diabetes, have been unable to benefit from dental implants due to the size of the implant post and the amount of healing time required. Mini dental implants are an innovative new type of implant that offers patients who may have been unable to receive traditional implants an opportunity to complete their smiles in just one appointment.

Dental bridges vs. Dental Implants, Medford, What’s Right for You?
August 5, 2015
Dental bridges are tried and tested. The first dental bridge was used 1000s of years ago as jewelry! In 700 BCE, the Etruscans adorned their teeth and filled in gaps with precious metals to display their wealth. Many people think that dental implants are a relatively new smile restoration option by comparison, but actually the Mayans who lived only 100 years later used sea shells, jade, and other human or animal teeth for restoration. Despite the rudimentary methods, these implant procedures were actually quite successful. Skulls discovered in recent years show that these materials fused with the bone, and the bond has lasted long after the patient’s death. So, how’s a modern patient to choose? Dr. Anthony Giamberardino and his Medford, MA team are here to help you choose the restoration method that’s right for you, but first, we recommend finding out more about each treatment.

Restore Your Complete Smile with High Quality Crown and Bridge Restorations in Medford, MA
March 10, 2015
Our primary goal is always to protect and preserve your natural teeth. However, if your natural teeth are lost, they should be replaced immediately in order to maintain normal oral functioning and regain good oral health. Not all patients are able to receive dental implant tooth replacement, and in these cases, a fixed crown and bridge restoration is a great alternative. You can schedule the crown and bridge restoration appointment you need with Giamberardino Dental Care today. Dr. Giamberardino is a highly qualified restorative dentist, now proudly renewing smiles daily throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and the surrounding communities.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown is a restoration that can cover the entire part of a tooth above the gum line, similar to a cap on a head. Modern dental crowns are made to mimic natural tooth structure and the majority of crowns are made of tooth colored ceramics. Crowns are custom shaped and fabricated to look and function just like your normal healthy teeth.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge involves the crowning of teeth on either side of the gap left by a missing tooth or teeth. These crowns serve as support or “abutment” teeth. The abutment teeth are attached to additional crowns (artificial teeth) in between, which serve to replace your missing teeth. Therefore dental bridges are made of the artificial teeth which actually “bridge the gap” and the dental crowns which hold them in place.
Do You Need a Crown and Bridge Restoration?
You may need to have teeth replaced as a result of decay, dental abscess, dental trauma, or advanced gum disease. Replacing these missing teeth is vitally important to help restore your chewing ability, preserve your youthful facial contours, and renew your confident smile. Another reason for immediate tooth replacement is to prevent the neighboring teeth from drifting out of place and causing bite misalignments or TMJ disorder.

Is It Time to Get Dental Implants?
November 10, 2014
Dental implants can make a big difference in your life if you have missing teeth to replace. Dentures can be challenging after a long period of wear. If you have dentures made from plastic and cast metal, you may have experienced irritation to your gum tissue. Denture wearers may experience slippage and movement while talking or eating. Dentures need to be replaced every five to seven years and can also contribute to the damage of your bone and facial structure if worn too long.

Dr. Giamberardino and his team at proudly serve patients throughout Medford, MA, Winchester, Somerville, Malden, Everett, and surrounding communities.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Natural– Dental implants are actually tiny titanium posts. Titanium is naturally compatible with the human body.
- Comfort– Dental implants are surgically implanted into your jaw bone. As the implant heals it will fuse with your jaw bone which creates stability and prevents slippage. The stability makes it easier to chew, bite food and speak confidently.
- Versatility– Dental implants can be used in a variety of ways to replace one tooth, an implant supported bridge, or an entire set of implant supported dentures.
- Long Term Results– Dental implants can last a lifetime with consistent oral hygiene.
- Bone Stabilization– Each of your teeth is surrounded by bone which exists entirely to support your teeth and facial structure. When a tooth is lost, the bone surrounding it will cease to have a function and become reabsorbed by the body. Dental implants can prevent this bone from reabsorbing and preserve your facial bone structure.

February 5, 2013
If you’re missing teeth, dental implants from Giamberardino Dental Care could be what you’ve been looking for to help restore your smile. We want to help all our patients smile proudly again.
Dental implants are a good way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. If you’re missing teeth, it could affect your ability to eat, hurt your self esteem, and even increase your risk of losing more teeth. They will look and feel natural, and blend in with the rest of your teeth.

Since the implants are a part of your mouth, you won’t have the slippage that is sometimes associated with dentures.
Implants can be used to replace a single tooth, or can support a bridge, partial denture or full denture. There are a variety of dental implant options available, so there’s bound to be a solution that fits your smile needs.
