Implant dentistry is not a formal specialty recognized by the American Dental Association. He says one surgeon botched the procedure, and several other practitioners made him uncomfortable. He got the results he wanted only after he visited Dr. Albert Wesley, a restorative dentist who practices in Southfield. His colleague, Dr. Stephen Meraw, also a clinical assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, says implants have long-term benefits for someone who loses his natural teeth relatively early. When teeth are gone, he says, the jawbone lacks a stimulus to stay intact.
Implants prevent that problem.
Lupo understands all the benefits, but the one that makes him most pleased is his appearance. It's really tremendous.
