When we replace your missing teeth, whether this is one lost tooth or all of them, we will do so with implant dentistry. In addition to looking natural, these will also be able to last for years to come! In today’s blog, Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about helping dental implants last in Brooklyn, NY.
The Placement of Dental Implants
How do we place dental implants? The implant portion will be inserted into the jawbone and essentially act as a new root. We will plan the process and guide with advanced digital imaging technology, ensure the new posts sit at the right angle, position, and depth to support new teeth and also stimulate jawbone growth to keep your smile and facial structure intact. Your new teeth can last for decades, possibly a lifetime, with proper care and attention. Once the posts are in place, we can connect a crown to them to complete a new tooth, or use several to support and bridge or even a set of new teeth in one visit with All-On-Four. But what can we do to help ensure they truly last?
Helping Placement Areas Heal
First, we will inject a special autoplasm known as Platelet Rich Plasma, which helps heal the jaw and connective tissues around the placement area, so you recover faster and your new tooth or teeth are strong and in place for years to come. Our team will monitor you with follow-up visits as well. If you have periodontal disease and this is the cause of your tooth loss, then we could manage the disease with periodontic care to avoid further tooth loss or implant failure. You can also take steps from home to help too!
Ensuring Your New Teeth Last
To help ensure your new teeth can truly last, be sure you brush and floss daily, including your new teeth. These actions help fight plaque and tartar buildup, which are major factors with the onset of disease and tooth loss. You can also cut back on the amount of sugar in your diet and avoid tobacco products. Which also helps protect both your teeth and gums. If you have any questions about how we treat tooth loss with dental implants, and what can be done to help ensure they have the potential to last for decades to come, then contact our team today to learn more and start your tooth replacement journey!
