Dr. Thomas Streko, D.M.D., Westfield cosmetic dentist, explains what patients should expect during a dental implant procedure.

Westfield, NJ. – September 20, 2010 – One of New Jersey’s leading cosmetic dentists, Dr. Thomas Streko, recently published an article on his new website, www.DrStreko.com titled “What Should You Expect During a Dental Implant Procedure?” In the article, Dr. Streko offers a step-by-step guide for patients who are interested in knowing exactly what should be expected during one of these procedures.

Dr, Streko writes, “Dental implants have proven to be the most effective method for replacing either a single tooth or multiple teeth. These artificial tooth root replacements are formed to look just like the surrounding teeth, making them almost impossible to spot.  In addition, dental implants are much more durable than other tooth replacement options such as bridges or dentures.  And they’re permanent, so you won’t have to worry about putting them on every morning.”

“Dental implant surgery has been done for years, and has proven to be successful in an overwhelming majority of cases.  It’s safe, permanent, and quite simply the most natural looking way to replace any missing teeth you might have,” continued Dr. Streko.  He goes on to explain in detail, the steps involved from the initial anesthesia to the final recovery.
