Since 1988 I have been helping patients who have lost their teeth enjoy their meals again using dental implants.  Being able to eat and smile and to live without juggling loose dentures are major steps toward holding on to our self esteem, to our independence, to our ability to write our own story.

A typical scenario I see frequently is this.  A new patient has been wearing dentures for decades.  They have lost the bone that held their teeth in place, and they find themselves gluing their dentures in with globs of dental adhesive.  Life starts to revolve around managing the embarrassment and inconvenience of this unsuitable replacement for a comfortable set of teeth.  Typically, there has been some expected decline in overall health such that a major dental procedure or surgical repair becomes a very complex, expensive , and risky proposal.  New dentures usually don''t solve the problem.  Many people just leave their dentures out, or they alternate wear with "no wear" and misplace their teeth on a regular basis.

With new digital 3D technology, thorough diagnosis, and an experienced dental implant team it is now possible to stabilize new or existing dentures for patients in simple, virtually pain-free procedures with minimally invasive treatment and surprisingly low cost.  TV advertisements luring patients to dental implant centers for treatments costing 25 thousand dollars per arch have caused many to abandon their search for help.  For years I have been placing implants and helping our patients look great and chew their food without the use of dental adhesives, with a stable prosthesis that is affordable for most people, and with dentistry that does not require major surgical procedures for safe, predictable, and comfortable results.

If you have clients whose quality of life could be enhanced by implant stabilization of their dental prosthesis using minimally invasive, digitally guided dental surgery please have them call to talk to me.  Our practice, private parking lot, treatment rooms, and schedulijng are designed for their convenience.  Hundreds of reviews are posted by our satisfied patients on Dr. Oogle St. Louis or on my website SmilesR4sharing.com  Please look us up on the web or call 314-351-2900 for a new patient examination and consultation.

Sincerely,

Tom O''Connor DMD
