Dr. Anthony Schwigel was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry on a full scholarship from the United States Navy. He served as a Naval Dental Officer stationed with the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune, NC from 2014 to 2018 before transitioning out of military dentistry. During his time with the military, Dr. Schwigel pursued advanced education in several areas of dentistry and has since been practicing as an associate dentist in South Carolina while completing additional implant and surgical training in Augusta, Georgia.
Replacing a single tooth with a single tooth implant does not endanger the health of the neighboring teeth. Because a dental implant will replace your tooth root, the bone is better preserved. Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact. Several missing teeth can also be replaced with individual implants. This method will place a dental implant at the site of each missing tooth, providing ideal replicas of your lost teeth. Multiple teeth may also be restored with an implant bridge, which is a prosthetic comprised of three or more crown units, depending upon the number of missing teeth.
One of the most rewarding and exciting new procedures in dentistry today is the system for making your previously loose dentures tight and comfortable. Mini dental implants provide denture patients with the ability to eat, smile, and speak with confidence. In as little as 1 hour, 4-6 dental implants can be placed, and your dentures can be fitted over the implants. The patient leaves the office with a stable denture, which can be used IMMEDIATELY. In addition, placement of these implants results in little to no post-operative discomfort. Many patients who were not candidates for conventional implants because they didn’t have enough bone or because of finances are now mini dental implant candidates.
Made of Hybrid Resin or Zirconia, the removable bridge involves the placement of between 6-10 implants, determined by bone volume and bone quality. This is a fixed hybrid bridge that can be detached by the dentist as needed at recall cleaning visits.
