Some People Don’t Know There are Better Options to Dental Procedures They May Have Had in the Past

The professional dental staff of North Country Dental in Gorham New Hampshire makes it their mission to tell them. “It takes a dedicated staff to inform patients about what’s available to them in terms of quality care,” Dr. Paul Schoenbeck recently stated. “Dental hygienists and assistants actually introduce patients to what’s available (in cosmetic dentistry).”

One of the most detailed and time consuming procedures, for both patient and dentist, is the dental implant. Dental implants have three components: the implant, the abutment, and the crown. The usual procedure has the patient’s dental impressions and initial work done at their regular dental office, then the patient goes off to an oral surgeon to have the actual implant
done. The patient then returns to their dentist, who puts the crown in place over the implant.

“We used to do only restorations on the implant after (its) being placed in the patient’s mouth by an oral surgeon. Now we can surgically place the implant in the bone right in our office,” said Dr. Vinay Nagappa. The happy payoff for the North Country Dental patient is that they can have the complete implant process done in one office, by the same dentist, without ever having to see an oral surgeon. The payoff for the dentist? More control over quality and results.

Control of the entire process is critical to the end result. “If the implant isn’t placed correctly in the bone, the final results can be unattractive.” explained Schoenbeck. “Implants have always been a team approach; now we have the complete team to provide better cosmetic results. We are able to provide more complete dental restoration in the form of implants.”

Dr. Schoenbeck and associates practice general dentistry with special interests in periodontal therapy, implants, cosmetic and hospital dentistry. They are members of the prestigious American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the American Dental Association. Dr. Schoenbeck is also a member of the American Association of Hospital Dentists and the Androscoggin Valley Hospital Medical Staff.
