For many practices, when you receive dental implants, you need to visit another office for the oral surgery portion, in which the dental implants themselves are placed. But our team can handle every step of the process in-house! In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and implant expert talks about how we complete tooth replacement in our office.
The Risks of Untreated Tooth Loss
We want to offer a solution to tooth loss with dental implants, so you can enjoy new teeth that look and function like natural ones. Otherwise, missing teeth could lead to weakened jawbone structure, which itself leads to further tooth loss and an older appearance. Missing teeth could also impact how you eat and even how clearly you speak. To keep your facial structure intact and avoid these complications, we can offer dental implant placement and even better, we can complete the whole process in-house.
Placing Your New Teeth In-House
The entire process from start to finish can be done in-house! To begin, we will take detailed digital images of your smile from multiple angles, choosing the best angle, position, and depth to insert the dental implant posts. Our team will numb the area and also offer sedation to ensure the entire process is comfortable, even if you have dental anxiety or special needs that make undergoing care an uncomfortable prospect.
Our team then plans and guides the placement with advanced digital technology, including CT imaging. Once your posts are in place, they will bond with the jaw and be secured like natural roots. This means your jaw is fortified to avoid loss of mass and density, so your youthful facial features remain in place and your new teeth can stay in place for years to come, possibly decades!
How We Complete Your New (or Smile!)
For some, we could complete the rest of your new tooth in the same appointment. For an individual one, we could attach an abutment and crown to ensure your new tooth looks natural and can handle daily bite forces and pressures. For people with more than one missing tooth, posts could be used to secure a bridge or even a complete set of dentures. If you have any questions about how we secure our dental implants in-house, or if you are ready to start the process of tooth replacement, then contact our team today to learn more.
