A Patient's Guide to Dental Implants
by William Becker Thomas Balshi Edmond Bedrossian Peter WohrleDo You Need Teeth Replacement? Are you missing a tooth? Several teeth? If so, perhaps you're like many individuals—you already wear a bridge or dentures or are considering them. But have you considered dental implants? They are "permanent teeth" that are inserted into the jawbone and function like natural teeth. They offer a more natural appearance and greater comfort than bridges or dentures.

The doctors who wrote this book recognized the need for consumer information. All specialists in dental implants, they provide answers to such questions as: • What are the benefits of dental implants? • Who is a candidate for dental implants? • How are the implants inserted? • Are the procedures painful? • How long do implants last? • Are there risks or possible complications? • How do you choose a qualified dentist or specialist? • What follow-up care is required?

Paul Revere's Ride
by Henry Wadsworth LongfellowThe classic poem in a newly illustrated edition. Paul Revere and his famous ride were immortalized by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in a poem published in 1861, more than eighty years after the even. Longfellow wrote the poem at the time of the Civil War. He hoped that his story of an ordinary citizen who comes to the aid of his country would stir patriotic feelings and support for the Union. He was right. In face, if it hadn't been for Longfellow, Paul Revere may have remained a local legend. The poem fired the imaginations of Americans and a national hero was born. This illustrated edition of the classic poem features vivid oil paintings by Monica Vachula, whose research into period and place can be seen in the smallest detail. A concluding note by historian Jayne Triber, author of A True Republican: The Life of Paul Revere, explores the poem and Paul Revere's place in American history.
