If you have missing teeth, we can help address the open spaces in your smile and at the same time, keep your jawbone and facial structure intact for years to come! With dental implants, a complete smile is possible, one that can last decades. In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about placing and restoring dental implants.
Placing Dental Implants
Dental implants need to be surgically placed. These are small posts that look like tiny screws. Made from titanium, they are biocompatible and bond with the jaw. We will examine the smile to ensure your jaw can support these posts. If tooth loss has weakened the jaw, we could strengthen it with support services like jawbone grafting or a sinus lift procedure.
Using digital imaging technology, we can plan and guide the placement to ensure your new post sits at the right angle, position, and depth to support your new teeth. The body accepts them as natural root structure, so they can stay in place for decades to come or possibly a lifetime with proper care and attention!
Restoring Your New Tooth
Once your posts are in place, we can complete the restoration, the part people see when you smile. For some, this could be done in the same visit! Our team will connect an abutment to the post or posts that extend above the gum line. We then attach a custom crown or bridge to the, addressing minor tooth loss. The restoration or prosthetic will be custom-made to ensure it can look natural and blend with the smile, and at the same time that it can handle daily bite forces and pressures. We want you to enjoy results that only look lifelike, but also function like natural teeth too.
All-On-Four
If you find yourself with tooth loss so severe that you need a full set of dentures, we can also help. With All-On-Four, we will gently remove the last few teeth and add four dental implants per arch, these being smaller versions that require less structure to support them. We then attach a complete row of new and lifelike teeth to them in the same visit, so you leave our office with a complete smile! You can enjoy your favorite foods again and smile with confidence.
