Dec 02, 2013 /prREACH/ -- Dr. Frank Avason, general and cosmetic dentist in Denver, NC, recently introduced dental implant technology at his practice to help patients with missing, broken, or damaged teeth finally get a confident, healthy smile they can be proud of. Dental implants are the latest dental technology available on the market for oral restoration.
“Dental implants represent the cutting edge of dental technology, and we’re excited to now offer them to our patients in Denver,” said Dr. Frank Avason, dental implants dentist in Denver, NC. “This procedure can truly be life changing for those who have had to suffer with daily denture use or missing teeth in general.”
Prior to the availability of dental implants, patients who suffered from tooth loss had to rely on dentures or bridges to restore function for their smile as well as aesthetics. Unfortunately, a large majority of the 20 million denture wearers in the United States suffer from broken, loose or improperly fitted dentures. This not only causes pain and a decrease in self-confidence, but can also have a negative effect on overall health due to insufficient diet and poor chewing habits.
With dental implants, however, patients can enjoy nearly the same function of natural teeth. Dental implants mimic the structure of natural teeth with a small titanium stud that is implanted in the jawbone, and porcelain crown that is attached to it. In its completed state, a dental implant is stronger than a natural tooth, but isn’t susceptible to cavities. Dental implants are an effective alternative for patients who have a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or even entire top or bottom arches with missing teeth.
In addition to providing dental implants, Dr. Avason is also a certified Invisalign dentist in Denver, NC for patients desiring straight teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. For those who have fear or anxiety about dental visits, Dr. Avason is also a trained sedation dentist in Denver, NC. He and his staff provide a variety of other services as well, including teeth whitening, veneers, periodontal treatment, and more.
Dr. Frank Avason is a trained professional in both pharmacy and dentistry. He first received a degree from the Albany College of Pharmacy before completing his dental education at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry, graduating 8th in his class. Afterwards, he went on to complete a three-year periodontal residency in the United Kingdom, where he also received a Master of Science degree. Dr. Avason keeps his pharmacy license current to stay updated with the latest advances in healthcare. He is a member of the ADA, North Carolina Dental Society, the American Adacemy of Periodontology, and many others.
