Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for replacement teeth. They are a popular and effective long-term solution for patients with missing teeth, failing teeth, or chronic dental problems. Dental implants are quickly becoming the new standard in tooth replacement because they fit, feel, and function like natural teeth.

At ToothDocs, our dentists use dental implants to replace a single missing tooth, multiple missing teeth, or even an entire arch of teeth. Dental implants can last for many years or even decades with proper care. However, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene and visit the dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups to ensure that your implants remain in good condition.

The Procedure for Getting Dental Implants

The first step is a consultation with our dentist in New York, NY, to determine if you are eligible for dental implants. If you qualify, we will then create a treatment plan for you. The next step is to place the implant in your jawbone. This is usually done under local anesthesia.

Once the implant is in place, you will need to wait several months for the implant to fuse with your bone. This process is called osseointegration. Once the implant has fused with the bone, we attach an abutment to it. Finally, we place a crown on the abutment to complete your new smile!

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Improved Appearance

Missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. With dental implants, you can feel confident knowing that your tooth replacements look and function just like natural teeth.

Better Oral Health

When you have gaps in your smile, it’s easier for plaque to build up in those spaces. This can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants can help you avoid these problems and keep your smile healthy.

Improved Speech

Missing teeth can also affect your speech. You may slur your words or have trouble pronouncing certain sounds. With dental implants, you can speak clearly and easily again.

Increased Comfort

Dentures can be uncomfortable to wear, especially at first. Implant-supported restorations in New York, NY, are much more comfortable than dentures because they don’t move around in your mouth. You won’t have to worry about them slipping out of place or causing irritation to your gums.

Improved Self-Esteem

Losing a tooth can lead to low self-esteem and even depression. Getting dental implants can help restore your confidence and improve your overall mental health.
