Dentist in Seminole

Seminole is in Pinellas County, inland of the barrier islands, where Park Blvd N and Seminole Blvd cross. Dr. Moradian treats Seminole patients at Affordable Dentures and Implants in Tampa.

What the work involves

An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a titanium post, and the tooth itself with a crown on top of it. A full arch replaces a whole row on four to six implants. A denture replaces an arch, or a run of teeth, and comes out at night. Each one suits a different mouth, and the scan is what tells them apart.

Reading the bone first

A cone beam CT scan shows a 3D image of your jaw’s anatomy. It shows where the bone is deep enough to hold a fixture and where it is not, which is why it is taken before surgery is scheduled rather than after. Gums are treated before implants go in.

The months between placement and the finished teeth are the bone growing around the fixtures, not a waiting list.

When the answer is a denture

A denture is not a failure of planning. For a whole arch that has been gone a long time, or a mouth where the bone will not carry fixtures, it is the treatment that works. It is measured, made, fitted and then adjusted over a few visits while it settles, and those adjustment visits are the ones that decide whether it is comfortable a year later.
