December 24, 2014

122407402Are you facing a tooth replacement decision? With the many choices available for modern tooth restoration, deciding which method will work best for you can be confusing. However, many patients have found that their concerns are addressed, and their expectations are exceeded when they decide to replace their teeth with dental implants. Dental implants are fast becoming the most popular choice for patients seeking to escape the encumbrances of ill fitting dentures or untreated tooth loss. To discover how dental implants could improve your quality of life, make an appointment with Dr. Clark today for a personalized dental implants consultation. Hill Avenue Dental is the leading local destination for dental implants procedures. Dr. Clark renews smiles daily throughout Superior, WI, Duluth, Douglas County, Northern Wisconsin, Northeastern Minnesota, and the surrounding communities.

What Happens During a Dental Implants Procedure?

  • First, a detailed evaluation and treatment plan is prescribed by Dr. Clark.
  • Next your implant(s) will be placed gently below your gum line in a single visit.
  • The implants will need time to heal and fuse with your jaw bone (usually for 3 to 6 months). During this time, you will need to wear a modified or  temporary denture or dental bridge
  • After your implant has fully healed, a small metal post (abutment) will be attached. This segment will be used to secure your denture or dental crown to the implant.
  • Finally, your new replacement teeth can be crafted and fitted. Total treatment time for most dental implants is typically between 5 and 8 months.

What Are The Advantages of Dental Implants Placement?

Dental implants are versatile. They can be used to replace an entire lower or upper denture, a partial denture, fixed bridgework, or a single missing tooth. Dental implants anchor your tooth replacement, eliminating embarrassing and uncomfortable slippage and shifting. They actually replace your missing tooth’s root, so they preserve your remaining jawbone density, to prevent premature aging. They can be cared for just as if they were your natural teeth, they never decay, and they can last a lifetime with proper oral maintenance. Implants can enhance overall oral functioning and fully restore the feeling of natural teeth.

Superior Dental Implants Appointments

If a patient is well enough to undergo fixed bridgework or routine oral surgery, they should be eligible to undergo a dental implants procedure. However, the density and location of available bone is usually the major determinant of a good implant candidate. Make your dental implants appointment with Dr. Clark today. Hill Avenue Dental performs expert dental implants procedures daily for patients throughout Superior, WI, Duluth, Douglas County, Northern Wisconsin, Northeastern Minnesota, and nearby areas.

Achieve the Complete Smile of Your Dreams with Dental Implants in Superior, WI

February 14, 2014

Missing teeth can cause a number of serious problems, whether you’re 20, 90 or any age in between. You feel self-conscious and embarrassed, so you don’t smile as often. You may experience discomfort or pain when you eat and your otherwise healthy teeth can be negatively affected as well. At Hill Avenue Dental in Superior, WI, Drs. Clark and Clark welcome you to experience a full set of healthy, beautiful teeth with the power of permanent dental implants.

The Many Benefits of Dental Implants
Missing teeth not only directly affect your appearance, but contribute to poor oral health in general. When a tooth is lost, the bone in the jaw that used to support it begins to deteriorate. This can lead to the compromise of structural integrity throughout the jaw, a problem that is often visible in the face. Facial contours begin to sag, making you appear older than you actually are. Missing teeth also directly impact your nutrition, particularly when you are unable to eat the types of foods your body needs to stay healthy.
Fortunately, dental implants take the place of your lost teeth in a way that looks and feels natural, restoring proper dentition and preventing further bone loss. Tiny titanium screws are placed into existing jaw bone, serving as anchors for a crown that looks just like a natural tooth. Your dental implants are custom-tinted to match surrounding teeth so no one will be able to tell the difference. Your quality of life is instantly improved, spanning everything from your self-confidence to your ability to enjoy eating your favorite foods freely.
Taking Control of Your Oral Health

If you are missing one or more teeth and you’re ready to take the first step toward a completely new smile, contact us at our Superior, WI office today and find out how Drs. Clark and Clark can help with dental implants. We can’t wait to show you how easy it can be to restore full function and aesthetics to your teeth.

Rebuild Your Smile and Experience a Renewed Sense of Self-Confidence with Dental Implants in Superior, WI

October 28, 2013


Out of all the dental injuries a person can experience throughout their lifetime, losing a tooth is often considered to be one of the most devastating. After all, it has dire effects on several aspects of your life. Patients who find themselves with one or more sudden gaps in their smile often find it difficult to interact with their friends or coworkers for fear of being ridiculed or humiliated. Even worse, missing teeth can lead to a number of additional oral health problems, such as an increased risk of periodontal disease, exacerbated misalignments as teeth shift and twist to fill the open space, and additional tooth loss. Thankfully, there are a number of tooth replacement options available, and Drs. Clark and Clark at Hill Avenue Dentalare happy to offer the most durable and lifelike choice available today: dental implants. Experience the care and much-needed support for your smile you’ve been searching for at our Superiorpractice! 
What are dental implants? 
While other tooth replacement options tend to only offer a replacement for your lost crowns (the visible section), dental implants are a step above in that they effectively replicate the entire structure of your tooth, including the root. This keeps you from experiencing any jawbone deterioration (a common concern when using bridges or dentures) and provides a solid, sturdy foundation for your brand new pearly white.
How does the dental implants process work?
First, a trusted surgeon will place a small, titanium post into your empty socket; this will serve as your new root. Then, once an appropriate amount of time has passed for your soft tissue to successfully fuse with this new addition and heal, you’ll return to our Superior office so that Dr. Clark can place your beautiful, new crown, completing the procedure. With dental implants, you’ll experience an enhanced appearance, a renewed feeling of stability and sturdiness, and a beautifully whole smile! 
ContactHill Avenue Dental today to schedule an appointment! Drs. Clark and Clarkare committed to providing thorough, personalized dental care that leaves patients with happier and healthier teeth than ever before. In addition to Superior, we also serve the Douglas County and Northern Wisconsin areas, as well as Duluth and other parts of Northeastern Minnesota.
