For people with dentures, it can also anchor the dentures to the jaw so they stay securely in place for best comfort and function, see this for more information about dental implants.

Q. What is periodontal disease, and why do I need to treat it?
A. Periodontal disease is an infection of the gum and supporting structures around the tooth caused by oral bacteria. If left untreated, early signs such as red gums or bad breath can progress to more advanced stages of the disease that may result in tooth loss. Periodontal disease, however, has serious health consequences far beyond the mouth. Periodontal disease has been linked to uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, pancreatic cancer and even Alzheimer’s disease. At Dental Implants and Periodontal Health of Rochester, we take your health seriously and use all the latest techniques to treat and reverse your periodontal disease.
