 - Jim Braude, 96.9 WTKK-FM and New England Cable News - "Michael Graham and I are patients of Ryne Johnson of Newton Prosthodontics.  I have spoken to so many of you who have made Dr. Johnson your dentist too ... lawyers, physical therapists, retired men and women, accountants, people in the media, people in working construction, and more. Well, add me to the list as my smile is my living."

Corina Miller, is a model, and she's a lead singer in a band too, who mostly works in New York and London. But she was in Boston recently and was discussing with her publicist how she wanted to improve her smile.

Her publicist knew that Dr. Johnson had many patients who spend time in front of the camera, and to a person they raved about the quality of his cosmetic work. So, Corina joined the growing list of people who swear by Dr. Johnson.

Here is some of what she said in her own words: "I couldn't be any happier or impressed with the outcome;  he is a  refreshingly unique type of dentist; with ease he made significant change that I always wanted but thought was impossible, feeling good about your smile makes one feel more connected with one's self and others."  She continues, "The results are  breath taking, I can't thank Dr. Johnson enough. He is efficient, thorough, and caring Dentist, trust me."

Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures are not be your only options when replacing missing teeth. For many people, dental implants will give you a smile that looks and feels very natural. Over a series of appointments implants are surgically placed below the gums. Overtime they fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base for individually crafted replacement teeth. After the healing process, a tooth is created and connected to the implant, thus replacing the missing tooth both cosmetically and structurally. Implants can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. Dental implants are indistinguishable from other teeth.

Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural, restoring functionality while improving appearance. Many people also find the secure fit more comfortable.

Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by your prosthodontist will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants. Dentists do not need a license to perform implantation; however, Prosthodontists are the specialists who should perform this particular procedure.
