Dear Patient(s):

Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines. We are so very excited to announce that we are once again able to provide dental services for you, our valuable patients. Highland Advanced Dental Care will reopen on June 1st. While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety.

Infection control has always been a top priority for our practice and you may have seen this during your visits to our office. Our infection control processes are made so that when you receive care, it’s both safe and comfortable. We want to tell you about the infection control procedures we follow in our practice to keep patients and staff safe.

Our office follows infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association (ADA), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agency’s recommendations.

You may see some changes when it is time for your next appointment. We made these changes to help protect our patients and staff. For example:

  • Our office will communicate with you beforehand to ask some screening questions. You’ll be asked those same questions again when you are in the office.
  • We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed.
  • You may see that our waiting room will no longer offer magazines, children’s toys and so forth, since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect.
  • Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean
  • that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment.
  • We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

We look forward to seeing you again and are happy to answer any questions you may have about the steps we take to keep you, and every patient, safe in our practice.

Thank you for being our patient. We value your trust and loyalty and look forward to welcoming back our patients, neighbors and friends.

As always, if you have any questions, please call our office at 248-329-3552.

Sincerely,

Dr. James E. LoCascio, DDS FICOI D-ABDSM
Highland Advanced Dental Care

Revive Your Smile With Dental Implants in Highland, MI

If you have missing teeth, you are well aware of the challenges that go along with them. Eating can be difficult, and you may be hesitant to smile openly. Traditional dentures require special care and can often be a hassle. However, Dr. LoCascio and his team at Highland Advanced Dental Care can use ClearChoice dental implants in Highland, MI to eliminate these problems. Here are just a few of the many benefits you will enjoy from teeth implants:

  • Get a beautiful, complete smile you can be proud of.
  • Put a wider variety of foods back on the menu – including your favorites.
  • Increase self-confidence when socializing and meeting new people.
  • Speak more clearly so others can understand you.
  • Prevent jawbone loss associated with missing teeth.
  • Improve the overall health of your mouth.
  • Look more youthful, attractive, and robust.

Choose From Several Dental Implant Options

Modern dental implants are a versatile and durable way to replace your missing teeth. Implants are inserted into your jawbone where they function as replacement tooth roots. Dr. LoCascio uses 3D imaging to plan and perform your implant placement. Implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone loss and changes in your facial structure that can give your face a sunken appearance.

Below are some of the implant options we offer to restore your smile:

  • Single Crowns – Our office uses BruxZir® crowns to ensure an exact fit and finish for your crown. We can use a single implant with a beautiful new crown on top to complete your smile and make eating easier. You will have about 90 percent of the biting and chewing capacity of your original tooth.
  • Dental Bridges – If you have several missing teeth, we can use two or more implants to anchor a bridge of replacement teeth. This is a great option for replacing teeth without having to use an implant for each missing tooth.
  • All-on-4® Implants – This revolutionary procedure allows Dr. LoCascio to restore a whole arch of teeth using only four precisely placed implants. The best part is that you will leave with a set of beautiful, functional temporary teeth the same day. You’ll return to our office when your final restorations are ready for placement.
  • Implant-Retained Dentures – This kind of denture secures to implants with a ball-and-socket system for a more stable, comfortable fit than traditional dentures. They quickly snap in and out for daily care.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures – These dentures attach to a curved bar that runs along your implants. Because they generally are not removed except by Dr. LoCascio, they offer an even more secure fit than implant-retained dentures.

No matter which dental implant treatment you receive, you can ask for safe and fast-acting laughing gas to help you remain relaxed. Get a new smile and new bite with dental implants in Highland. Call our office today for your consultation: 248-329-3552. You can also use our convenient online form. Don’t put off getting your new teeth!

Common Questions About Dental Implants

Dr. LoCascio places an implant in your jaw through a small opening in your gums. Your bone fuses to it. The implant functions much like a natural tooth root, giving you a strong bite and stimulating your jaw when you chew to keep your jawbone intact. He can attach a dental crown to one implant to replace a single tooth, or a bridge or dentures can be attached to several implants to replace multiple teeth.

Implants are usually made of medical-grade titanium. If you practice proper oral hygiene, a dental implant can last a lifetime. The replacement teeth attached to implants may need to be replaced, though. A crown, bridge, or dentures attached to implants will last about the same amount of time as restorations supported by natural teeth.

You should avoid drinking alcohol and smoking and practice proper oral hygiene while your implant is healing. This ensures your bone grows around the implant to keep it in place. It’s possible a dental restoration attached to an implant may become detached. It’s also possible for the abutment, the piece that connects an implant to your restoration, to come loose. If this happens, Dr. LoCascio can reattach the abutment and restoration.

The final cost of your dental implant treatment will depend on several factors. These include the number of implants needed, where they’re located, the type of replacement teeth you choose, and the material your teeth are made from. Your dentist will work one-on-one with you to develop a treatment plan and give you an accurate estimate for your care.
