If your smile is important to you, Dr. Leo Kituskie, a dental implant expert near Wilmington, DE, provides professional dental implants services in Delaware. The use of dental implants is a practice traceable back to the ancient Egyptian and Mayan civilizations. In the 1950s, researchers at Cambridge University began work on what would eventually become the dental implants we use today.
Bone loss in the jawbone is common when one or more teeth have been lost due to injury, decay, or trauma. Without the tooth in place to stimulate the jawbone, the bone around the missing tooth will begin to deteriorate. Over time, the jawbone may deteriorate to such an extent that there may not be enough bone to place dental implants.
Long term studies suggest dental implants are highly successful. Success is recognized in healthy patients who exhibit excellent home care and frequent professional cleanings. Implants can become infected as do natural teeth if neglected. This is called Peri Implantitis. There are treatments for some ailing implants but not all.
There are millions of germs that live in your mouth. If you suffer from gum disease in Wilmington, DE, you have open wounds in your gums that allow the bacteria to enter directly into your blood stream and circulate throughout your body. Much research is being done to investigate if a definitive link exists between periodontal disease and other systemic illnesses.

When I first visited Leo Kituskie’s office my teeth and gums where horrible shape. But after the oral surgery Dr. Kituskie was able to reverse the gum disease that had been slowly decaying my teeth and gums for years because of neglect due to my fear of going to the dentist.
I highly recommend Dr. Kituskie. He is great dentist that truly cares about his patients.
