What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root anchored into the jawbone to hold a prosthetic tooth, denture, or bridge. Dental implants are made using titanium alloys and ceramic bone-like materials that are biocompatible with your body tissues. Implants are an anchor to offer a solid base for artificial tooth replacements. Based on the type of implant and complexity of the surgery procedures, they can be anchored into the lower or upper jawbone, which stimulates your jaw like a natural tooth root, preserving your jawbone density.

Implants can be used for replacing a single lost tooth or many teeth. Replacing missing teeth with implants can help resolve bite issues, eliminate jaw joint pain, and prevent nearby teeth from shifting. Implants can also restore facial structure and prevent jawbone deterioration, which supports your ability to speak and eat.

Our Dental Implant Procedure in New York

Replacing a missing tooth with dental restorations requires one or more titanium implant posts and tooth replacement such as a crown, bridge, or denture. When you come in for your dental implant procedure, our dentists will surgically place the dental implant into the jawbone just below the gum tissue. Over time, the implant will gradually bond with the jaw bone and attach to the gum as the surrounding tissues heal.

After the healing is complete, which usually takes 3-6 months, you will return to our office for the last part of the treatment. Our dentist will attach your tooth replacement to the implant during this appointment to complete your new, natural-looking smile.

Dental implants will act as anchors that provide a solid support for dental bridges. Our team is passionate about creating a natural look since our dental bridges will blend seamlessly with your smile. We can also provide dentures if you are missing most or all of your teeth.

Bone Grafts: A healthy jaw bone is essential for supporting the implants and ensuring successful implant surgery. However, some patients may not have enough healthy bone, resulting in eventual implant failure. To avoid this, our dentists may perform a bone graft where additional bone is transplanted to increase the volume and density of the jawbone.

Sinus Lifts: Replacing teeth in the upper jaw can have added complications due to the proximity of the sinuses. In cases where fixing dental implants is difficult because of insufficient bone quantity or closeness to the sinus, our dentists will perform a sinus lift. This procedure will help correct the problem by raising the sinus floor and adding bone to support the dental implants.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Anyone who has one or more missing teeth and wants to repair their smile can be a candidate for dental implants. In general, the best candidate for dental implants is someone who has a healthy jawbone and excellent gum health to support the implants. Our dentists offer dental procedures like bone grafts and sinus lifts to ensure your mouth can support dental implants.
