What are dental implants?

Dental implants are metal posts your provider inserts into your jawbone where a damaged or extracted permanent tooth once was. The implants securely anchor crowns (tooth-like caps), bridges, or dentures, depending on your unique dental and cosmetic needs. Implants provide an array of oral health and cosmetic benefits for people with tooth gaps.

Which advantages do dental implants offer?

Dental implants provide the following benefits for people with extracted or missing teeth:

• Elimination of gaps
• Clearer speech
• Easier chewing
• Beautiful smile
• Sturdy, long-lasting artificial teeth
• Flawless results
• Greater self-confidence 

Dental implants and the prosthetic teeth they anchor look exactly like functional, beautiful, perfect real teeth and create a gorgeous smile. 

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Dental implants are designed for people with missing permanent teeth due to decay, damage, or extraction. To determine which restorative dental treatment best suits you, the New York Dental Health experts take dental X-rays as needed, examine your teeth, review your oral health history, and discuss your goals and treatment preferences.

People who don’t have enough jawbone may first require a bone grafting procedure to increase the volume and strength of the jawbone before undergoing dental implant placement. 

What should I expect when receiving dental implants?

Your dental provider first offers a sedative to relax you and numbs the treatment area. They gently insert dental implants into your jawbone while you rest comfortably. Afterward, you might receive a temporary crown, bridge, or dentures to wear during the healing process.

After the healing period, which might last several months, you return to the New York Dental Health office to receive your permanent tooth restorations. Your dentist attaches them to the implants and ensures a proper fit to complete your smile.

How can I take good care of my dental implants?

Taking good care of dental implants means brushing your teeth after meals, flossing daily, and not chewing on hard objects like ice. See the New York Dental Health team every six months for routine dental exams and professional cleanings. Call the office at any time if you have questions or your implants get damaged.
