What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small metal screws that your Dental Arts of Brooklyn provider inserts into the sockets of missing teeth. These screws fuse with your bone after placement, creating a stable base for crowns, bridges, or implant-anchored dentures.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants offer several benefits, including:
- Convenience: They function like natural teeth.
- Durability: Implants are long-lasting with proper care.
- Confidence: Restore your smile and improve self-esteem.
- Clearer speech: Implants help you speak without slurring or lisping.
- Easier biting and chewing: Implants mimic the strength and stability of natural teeth.
Dental implants may also improve your oral health. Filling an empty tooth socket with an implant prevents bone loss and other related issues.
Who can get dental implants?
To qualify for dental implants, you need healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density. If you have gum disease or low bone volume that cannot support implants, the team performs prerequisite treatments, such as scaling and root planing or a bone graft, to prepare your mouth for the procedure.
What does getting dental implants involve?
At Dental Arts of Brooklyn, getting dental implants typically requires multiple visits over several months:
- Initial Placement: If your provider determines you are a good candidate for implants, they numb your mouth and insert small metal screws into the empty tooth sockets.
- Healing Period: Over the next few months, the screws fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
- Impression and Restoration: After healing, you return for digital impressions with an intraoral scanner. These impressions are sent to a dental lab, which customizes your implant restorations (crowns, bridges, or implant-anchored dentures).
- Final Visit: Once the restorations are ready, the team attaches them to the screws, restoring your smile to its near-original condition.
