Jay Platt, DDS PC Jay Platt, DDS, practices a full scope of oral & maxillofacial surgery. He performs a full range of dental implants & bone grafting procedures.

https://linktr.ee/jayplattdds Dental implants are changing the way people live. With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. Dr. Platt is able to place single stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them, but do require a minimum of six weeks of healing time before artificial teeth are placed.There are even situations where the implants can be placed at the same time as a tooth extraction – further minimizing the number of surgical procedures. For more information about dental implants or to schedule a consultation appointment, call our office in Schererville, IN at 219-864-1133.

Dr. Platt Explains: What actually happens at a wisdom teeth consultation? 🦷 If you or your teen have one coming up, here's what to expect, step by step.

1️⃣ Imaging: a panoramic X-ray shows us exactly how your wisdom teeth are positioned
2️⃣ Evaluation: we check for impaction, crowding risk, and any signs of infection or cysts
3️⃣ Discussion: we walk through whether removal is recommended now, later, or not at all
4️⃣ Planning: if extraction is needed, we cover sedation options and recovery expectations together

No scare tactics, no pressure to decide on the spot. Just a clear picture of what's going on and what your options are.

Dr. Platt Explains: What's the real difference between full arch restoration and traditional dentures? 🦷 If you're weighing your options, here's the honest breakdown.

1️⃣ Stability: full arch implants are permanently anchored, dentures can slip and shift, especially when eating
2️⃣ Bone health: implants stimulate the jawbone, dentures don't, which means dentures often lead to accelerated bone loss over time
3️⃣ Diet: implant patients eat what they want, denture wearers often avoid tougher or sticky foods
4️⃣ Timeline: many full arch cases can be completed with a same-day temporary smile while healing progresses

If your dentures have been slipping, clicking, or limiting what you eat, it might be time to explore a permanent option.

Today is Breast Cancer Awareness Day. We're taking a moment to honor everyone who has fought, is fighting, or has lost someone to breast cancer in our Northwest Indiana community.

Few people know that oral health and cancer care intersect more than expected. Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation often experience oral side effects, and coordinated care between medical oncology and dental or oral surgery teams can make a real difference in comfort and outcomes.

To everyone impacted by breast cancer, we're thinking of you today and always.

It's National Savings Day! 💰 If cost has been a concern keeping you from addressing an oral surgery need, let's talk about it honestly.

A few things patients don't always know:

✅ We offer financing options to help spread out the cost of treatment
✅ Many dental implant and oral surgery procedures are partially covered by insurance depending on your plan
✅ A consultation to discuss cost and options comes with zero pressure or obligation

Putting off care because of cost concerns often means bigger, more expensive problems later. Let's find a plan that actually works for your budget.

Dr. Platt Explains: What actually happens during a bone graft? 🦴 It's one of the most common questions we get, so let's break it down simply.

1️⃣ Why it's needed: bone loss from missing teeth, gum disease, or injury can leave too little bone to support an implant
2️⃣ The process: bone graft material is placed in the area to encourage new bone growth
3️⃣ Healing time: typically 3-6 months before the site is ready for an implant
4️⃣ The result: a strong foundation that gives your implant the best chance at lasting success

Bone grafting sounds intimidating, but it's a routine, well-understood procedure that sets you up for long-term success. Questions? We're happy to walk you through your specific case.
