Dental Implants in NYC

What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a popular, effective solution for those who suffer from badly damaged teeth or from the loss of teeth, whether through injury or simply through age. Dental implants serve as permanent replacements for your teeth and can also be used to support a number of other dental work including crowns, bridges or dentures. Implanted through a safe surgical procedure, dental implants can provide aesthetic and health benefits over other options for treating bad teeth.

What benefits do dental implants provide over my other options?
Many patients choose dental implants because the implants provide both aesthetic benefits as well as actual dental health benefits. For example, unlike dentures, dental implants are permanent replacements for your teeth that will look and function just like your healthy, natural teeth once did. Unlike bridges, dental implants do not rely on support from other teeth along the jaw bone that may otherwise be healthy teeth and may, in turn, be negatively affected by the treatment.

Dental implants can also help prevent bone loss that may occur in the area where your teeth are no longer in place. When a tooth falls out, the area of the bone where the tooth once was can grow vulnerable to deterioration, leading to a number of other problems. Because dental implants fill the space where your missing teeth once were, they are able to help prevent your bone from deteriorating and also keep the rest of your teeth from shifting and affecting your bite.

How do dental implants work?
Dental implants involve an outpatient surgical procedure in which implants made of titanium are placed into the bone. Because the titanium rod is biocompatible, the natural bone and tissue around it will “recognize” the rod as the root of a real tooth and begin to grow and attach itself to the rod over time. Once the rod is secured in the bone, an outer “tooth,” custom-designed to match your natural teeth, is then placed over the rod. You will have a brand new, confident smile with the ability to eat a whole variety of foods like you used to.

Does it hurt?
The dental implant procedure is not quite as painful as it may sound. The implants are carried out in an outpatient procedure with the aid of general anesthesia or other forms of sedation.
