By far the most dramatic
advance that two Jefferson Dental Associates partners
have seen over 15 years is the advent and availability of
dental implants. "There is no question that dental implants are the biggest advance in dentistry over the last two decades," says Lawrence J. Gordon, DDS, Director, Division of General Dentistry and Program Director, General Practice Residency, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. |
Dr. Gordon's partner, Niles Nicolo, DDS, Associate Program Director for the Hospital's General Practice Residency, adds:
"A person who has worn dentures for 20 years can now replace them with what function as permanent natural teeth."
While implants are not covered by insurance, the work can be done in stages.
"We pride ourselves on offering individualized care including full-mouth rehabilitation crowns and bridges, root canal therapy, gum surgery," Dr. Nicolo says. "Our practice provides the most modern technology, 'state-of-the-art' equipment and the latest pain-free techniques."
Over the past year, Jefferson Dental Associates has grown with the addition of two new associates, Julie Ko-Kim, DMD, and Richard Staller, DMD.
