My implant took a little more time than I thought it would because of the complex nature of the problem, but I always felt confident and comfortable with Dr. Karp and his entire staff. The final result is beautiful and it was well worthwhile! I am very happy with my implants! Dr. Karp and his staff told us what they would do and that's exactly what they did.

Gum disease (or pyorrhea as it used to be called) is a bacterial infection around the teeth below the gums that destroys the supporting bone. Left untreated this leads to gum bleeding, moving teeth and finally tooth loss. Treatment is focused on stopping further bone loss and in some cases re-growing additional bone or gums.
Dental implants provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function just like your natural teeth. No more humiliating denture slippage. Hold dentures securely in place or in some cases eliminate the need for dentures or partials. Dental implants are artifical tooth roots that Dr. Karp places below the gum line.
Many patients experience continued tooth decay into adulthood. Crowns are needed to replace large fillings that break and get more decay. After a root canal done through the crown, continued decay requires tooth removal. This is a common case scenario for some patients who are genetically predisposed to cavities; and others who were not raised with fluoride in their drinking water.
