For decades, removable dentures were the go-to solution for patients missing several or all of their teeth. While dentures restore the appearance of a smile, they often come with compromises: slipping, irritation, difficulty eating, and the need for frequent adjustments. Today, implant-supported solutions provide a modern alternative that dramatically improves function and quality of life.
Painful — that’s usually the first word people use to describe life with an impacted tooth. They have trouble eating and speaking, plus the constant discomfort makes it difficult to go about their daily routine. That’s why we recommend taking care of an impacted tooth sooner rather than later. Not only will the pain go away so you can resume life as usual, but you will also prevent further consequences on your oral and overall health.
Many patients come to us hesitant about restorative dentistry, but the long-term benefits of a complete smile are always worth it. Not replacing missing teeth has numerous negative health effects, so we’ve compiled below to further patient understanding of the benefits of restorative dentistry.
At North Tampa Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we offer laser therapy, a minimally invasive, highly effective treatment for gum disease that requires no cutting or sutures. If you’ve been diagnosed with gum disease, laser therapy can help you restore your oral health.
Some oral health problems are easy to see. Others are caused by something most people never think about—like a small band of tissue called a frenum. At North Tampa Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we perform frenectomies to help patients breathe, chew, speak, and smile more comfortably. While the procedure is simple, the results can be life changing—especially for young children or adults with ongoing discomfort.
Traditional dentures have long been used to replace missing teeth, but they’re not without their challenges. Many patients experience slipping, clicking, sore spots, or a bad fit that becomes worse over time. These issues often stem from the fact that traditional dentures sit on top of the gums and don’t address the root cause of instability: bone loss.
Maybe you’ve started hiding your smile in photos, maybe certain foods are more challenging to chew, or maybe you’ve noticed subtle changes in the way you speak. A missing tooth can affect more than just your appearance—it can also quietly influence your daily comfort and confidence. At North Tampa Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, we offer advanced tooth replacement options designed to help you speak, eat, and smile with ease. Dental implants are a durable, natural-looking solution that can restore function and aesthetics—and we’re here to help you decide if they’re right for you.
Did you know that nearly half of adults over 30 in the U.S. have some form of gum disease? Despite its prevalence, gum disease often goes unnoticed until there’s significant damage. Unlike a cavity, which often causes noticeable discomfort early on, gum disease can progress quietly, only revealing itself through symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, or tooth mobility.
If the thought of dental treatment makes you feel uneasy, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with dental anxiety, which often prevents them from getting the care they need. At North Tampa Periodontics and Implant Dentistry in Tampa, FL, we offer sedation dentistry to help patients feel calm and comfortable throughout their visit.
