"Dr. Wiele, who should I see about getting dental implants?"
 

When getting dental implants, you should select a dentist or dental team with in-depth knowledge and prior experience with all aspects of the treatment. Dr. Wiele was trained with the expertise in dealing with dental implants, and at Gary B Wiele DDS, we have the experience.

It is also important to know that implant treatment consists of two components: a surgical phase and a restorative phase.

Traditionally, a dental surgeon, like an oral surgeon or a periodontist, performs the surgical component.  A general dentist, or prosthodontist and laboratory technician performs the restorative component.  However, as implant dentistry has become more sophisticated, sometimes a dentist who specializes in restorative dentistry conducts the entire procedure.

If considering dental implants, you should come see us.  Dr. Wiele was trained and has restored implants since the mid 1980’s.  Since then, he has amassed great knowledge in the planning, fitting, installation and maintenance of dental implants.

One aspect that sets Dr. Wiele apart from other dentists in the St. Louis area is his use of a computerized devise that tells him the relative force each tooth or implant receives.  You see, the tooth sits in a ligament that compresses, therefore, the natural teeth depress.  If this slight depression is not accounted for with restored teeth, the bone around the implant gets hammered and the implant can fail.  Contrary to many dentists in the St. Louis area, Dr. Wiele is also very conservative in his use of implants, believing they are not the best choice in every tooth replacement.
