When you lose a tooth, we can help with an individual dental implant. If you have lost most or all of your natural teeth, we can even offer implant-supported All-On-Four. But how do we ensure these new teeth will look natural? In today’s blog, your team at Brooklyn Periodontics and Implantology talks about how we make sure dental implants look natural for our Brooklyn, NY, patients.
Placing Dental Implants
First, let’s talk about the actual implant portion, which essentially acts as a new root. These are small and thin biocompatible posts made from titanium. We will guide these into place with digital surgical guides, ensuring they sit at the right angles, positions, and depths to act as new roots. This helps keep your jawbone strong, so your new teeth have the potential to last for decades to come, possibly a lifetime! But what is done to complete the new tooth or teeth, ensuring a lifelike appearance and a durable chewing surface?
Crowns
If you have an individual dental implant, then our team could complete it with a dental crown, a restoration that we custom-make for your smile based on detailed digital images taken of your bite. The restoration is made from strong and durable materials, such as all-porcelain, so it will blend with your smile and provide a durable shewing surface at the same time. Our team will connect an abutment to the implant posts, which extends above the gum line. We then attach the crown to it, completing your new tooth so you can smile with confidence!
All-On-Four
If you have more severe tooth loss, including missing most or all of your teeth, we could help with All-On-Four. With this option, in one visit we extract the last few teeth and insert just four dental implants into the jaw, which can support a full row of new teeth. These new teeth will be custom-made for a lifelike appearance, from materials that can endure daily bite forces. All-On-Four means we can attach these new and custom teeth to the post in the same sitting, you leave our office with a full and beautiful smile!
If you have any questions about how we address tooth loss and ensure your new dental implant offers a lifelike appearance, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. You don’t have to live with missing teeth and embarrassing gaps in your smile, we can restore function, health, and beauty to your smile with implant dentistry!
