We Replace Missing Teeth

A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints. When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown.

About Periodontal Disease

Why would I need Gum Treatment?

Periodontal treatment is necessary when various conditions affect the health of your gums and the regions of your jaw bone that hold your teeth in place. Retaining your teeth is directly dependent on proper periodontal care and maintenance. Healthy gums enhance the appearance of your teeth, like a frame around a beautiful painting. When your gums become unhealthy, they can either recede or become swollen and red. In later stages, the supporting bone is destroyed and your teeth will shift, loosen, or fall out. These changes not only affect your ability to chew and speak. They also spoil your smile.

Saving Your Gums Saves Your Teeth

The goal of Limestone Periodontics is to save your teeth. Most problems with your teeth start with your gums, which can develop a variety of periodontal diseases, including gingivitis, periodontitis, and gingival recession or receding gums. Left untreated, these diseases contribute to inflammation, damaged tissue and bone, and tooth loss. There are non-surgical and surgical treatments that can save your teeth by treating your gums and bringing them back to a healthy state. Dental implants can replace damaged or diseased natural teeth when other avenues have failed.

Dr. Kituskie is a board-certified periodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. We take your oral health seriously and provide state-of-the-art care using the latest periodontal techniques. Cutting-edge technology, including laser therapy and 3D imaging, allows us to provide every patient with precision treatments that can save your teeth and improve your overall health.

Replacing Missing Teeth

Sometimes a tooth is too damaged to save. When that happens, Dr. Kituskie can replace missing teeth with a dental implant that gives you back the ability to eat, speak, and smile without anyone knowing you were once missing one or more teeth.

Dental Implants Presentation

To provide you with a better understanding of dental implants, we have provided the following multimedia presentation. Many common questions pertaining to dental implants are discussed.

When Should I See Dr. Kituskie?

Any time you have problems with your gums or are dissatisfied with their appearance, you should see a periodontist. Gums that are swollen, red, receding, or painful should be evaluated as soon as possible to prevent the spread of infection and ensure your gums are healthy and able to support your teeth. Without treatment, gum disease can spread quickly, leading to crooked or loose teeth, tooth loss, bone loss, and changes to your appearance. If you have already lost one or more teeth, Dr. Kituskie can explain the dental implant process and how it can change the way you eat, talk, and enjoy life.
