Dr. Nitash Patel Opens The Dental Implant Institute of Tampa in Lutz, Florida

Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) January 07, 2015

Nitash S. Patel, DMD, recently opened The Implant Institute of Tampa, where he will place dental implants for patients, perform pre-implant bone enhancement procedures, and provide over-the-shoulder training and guidance to other dentists learning to do dental implants. His state-of-the-art dental implant operatory is located inside Serenity Dental of Florida’s Lutz location at 1849 Collier Parkway. The operatory was designed with patient comfort in mind, as well as the latest technology.

Dr. Nitash S. Patel graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry after earning a bachelor’s degree in biology (with a minor in chemistry) from the University of Miami. He completed the Prosthodontic Implant Fellowship program of the University of Florida in 2003, and focuses on complex cases, including full-mouth reconstructions, implant-related restorations, and complex cosmetic makeovers. He has pursued advanced dental implant education through the Academy of Osseointegration and with Straumann Corporation, a leading provider in dental implant solutions and bone tissue regeneration.

Dr. Patel enjoys the challenge of working on full-mouth reconstruction cases for his patients, but is equally committed to comprehensive cosmetic and general dental care for the entire family. He is also committed to helping other dentists spread the benefits of dental implant treatment to their patients.

“Replacing teeth with crowns, bridges, and full over-dentures fixed on implants provides optimal biting strength and comfort, eliminates slipping of removable prosthetics, and will feel just like natural teeth,” says Dr. Patel. “Dental implant treatment is the gold standard of today, and at Serenity Dental, we are on the forefront to assure our patients have the best care Dentistry has to offer today.”

Dr. Patel only uses only Straumann dental implants. “I made this decision because research and clinical trials in universities across US have tested Straumann implants in use and on a microscopic level,” said Dr. Patel. “Other implant systems, which copy and replicate the Straumann implant, haven’t been through the same rigorous testing, and their efficacy on a microscopic level is not fully established. The highest quality treatment and materials are my priority. I’ve placed and restored over 1,000 implants, and the results over the years are proof that Straumann implants have been an excellent choice.”

Dr. Timothy S. Davis Expands Patient Base in South Florida, Provides More Patients Access to Minimally Invasive Laser Gum Surgery

Naples, FL (PRWEB) December 15, 2014

Periodontist Dr. Timothy S. Davis continues to expand his patient base in order to provide patients throughout South Florida with easier access to a minimally invasive alternative for treating gum disease. The LANAP® protocol employs sophisticated laser technology to reduce periodontal infection without cutting or suturing.

Dr. Davis belongs to a select group of dental professionals who have completed the training required to perform LANAP®. Since only one percent of dentists in the country currently offer the procedure, many people do not live in close proximity to a LANAP® certified provider. Although Dr. Davis still provides traditional periodontal disease treatments like scaling and root planing as well as osseous surgery, he has found LANAP® to be more comprehensive in nature during the four years he has performed the procedure. Because of the laser’s ability to target and vaporize only the diseased tissue and bacteria, Dr. Davis is able to preserve more of the soft tissue and bone while eliminating/minimizing the bacterial load.

While laser gum surgery achieves similar results to flap and osseous surgery, LANAP® offers several advantages over those traditional procedures. Since the procedure is minimally invasive and does not require incisions or sutures, patients experience significantly less pain, bleeding, and swelling. Unlike traditional surgery, which can create recession, a laser gum surgery procedure does not result in gum recession. In addition to increased sensitivity, receding gums also pose a cosmetic concern due to the lowered gum line.

In order to determine a patient’s eligibility for LANAP®, Dr. Davis first conducts a comprehensive examination and reviews all treatment options and their accompanying pros and cons. Dr. Davis bases his recommendation on the unique needs of each individual. In some cases, patients may be medically compromised and their primary care physician has advised against invasive surgery that would require them to discontinue medications like blood thinners. Some patients have multiple units of crown and bridgework and do not want to risk exposing the crown margins with the recession most often associated with flap and osseous surgery. For others, the issue might be the fear of pain surrounding an invasive procedure like traditional osseous surgery. Dr. Davis takes all these concerns into consideration when evaluating a patient’s candidacy for laser gum surgery.

As periodontal disease reaches epidemic proportions in the United States and increasingly more evidence reveals a correlation between periodontitis and systemic diseases like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, patient education is more critical than ever before. Periodontal therapy not only improves gingival health, but can improve the patient’s systemic health.

According to Dr. Davis, dental professionals need to be prepared to address patient concerns and provide them with information about all the treatment options available, including laser gum surgery.

Clinical research supporting the benefits of laser gum surgery and the LANAP® protocol continues to mount. Although each patient is different, Dr. Davis has found that his results confirm the findings in Dr. Marc Nevins’s study, A Prospective 9-Month Human Clinical Evaluation of Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP) Therapy, which reported evidence of bone regeneration and new connective attachment after six months utilizing the LANAP® protocol.
