The new year is just around the corner, and while you’ve probably spent a lot of time planning holiday parties of buying gifts for loved ones, it’s important to think about your oral health as well.

If you need procedures such as dental implants, bone grafting or other periodontal services, you may want to schedule your appointment before the year is over to get the maximum benefit out of your insurance plan.

It’s easy to think of oral health and overall physical health as two separate things, but they’re more connected than you might imagine. Recent research and scientific studies reveal a surprising connection between poor oral health (specifically, gum disease) and seemingly unrelated diseases in other parts of the body. Fortunately, once you understand this connection, you can take steps to improve your physical health by first receiving the treatment you need for your periodontal disease symptoms.

The good news is that you don’t have to live forever with missing teeth, as new dental technology allows Dr. Burton to create a smile that looks natural and functions just like it should. With dental implants replacing missing teeth is easy and you enjoy the following benefits.

A visit with Dr. Matthew R. Burton at Clearwater Dental Associates can make the benefits of these implants quite clear:

Dental implants have become the standard in many dental practices, as the technology used in this treatment continues to advance and become more readily available. Still, patients should never decide on a particular procedure simply because it is the popular choice. Scheduling an appointment with Dr. Matthew R. Burton will help you learn more about the dental implants process and how our office can determine whether or not you are a candidate for this procedure.
