Patient Education

Dental Health Insights Backed by Data

We believe informed patients make the best decisions for their oral health. Here's what the research tells us about modern dental care.

01

The Veneer Advantage

Studies show porcelain veneers have a 94% survival rate at 5 years and 83% at 10 years when placed by experienced prosthodontists — making them one of the most durable cosmetic investments in dentistry.
02

Implants vs. Bridges

Dental implants preserve adjacent tooth structure and prevent bone loss, with a 95-98% success rate over 10+ years. Traditional bridges require grinding healthy teeth and average 10-15 year lifespan.
03

Invisalign by the Numbers

Clinical data shows Invisalign treatment averages 12-18 months — 50% faster than traditional braces for many cases. Patient compliance rates exceed 80% due to the removable, aesthetic design.
04

Why Prosthodontic Care Matters

Prosthodontists complete 3 additional years of specialized training beyond dental school. Research consistently shows specialist-led treatment results in higher patient satisfaction and longer-lasting restorations.

Prosthodontist  |  Cosmetic & General Dentistry

Dr. Blessitt's journey in dentistry began with a foundation in nutrition at the University of Florida, giving him a holistic understanding of how diet and lifestyle impact oral health. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Nova Southeastern University in 2001, then pursued three additional years of rigorous prosthodontic specialty training — completing his specialty certification in 2004. This advanced training sets Dr. Blessitt apart: fewer than 3% of dentists in the U.S. are board-eligible prosthodontists. His expertise encompasses complex full-mouth rehabilitation, cosmetic smile design, implant dentistry, and the precise art of dental prosthetics. For over 17 years, he has brought this specialist-level care to the Nokomis, Osprey, and Venice communities.
