When you suffer from tooth loss, don’t hide your smile or watch your facial structure erode and appear more aged. Instead, talk to our team about how we place dental implants same-day, including an alternative to dental implant dentures! In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and implant expert talks about same-day implant placement.
When Smiles Need Dental Implants
When you lose your natural teeth, this can cause a host of problems for your oral health and quality of life. When teeth are missing, the body will no longer send regular doses of key nutrients to the surrounding jawbone, which causes a loss of mass and density linked to further tooth loss and an older appearance. You could have trouble eating your favorite foods or even speaking clearly. Missing teeth also cause embarrassment and impact your ability to socialize. Other complications include an increased risk of misalignment. Don’t let tooth loss weaken and erode your smile, talk to our team about a tooth replacement option that can preserve your bite and youthful facial features!
Planning Your Tooth Replacement
To begin, we will carefully examine your smile to assess the cause of your missing teeth. We may need to treat underlying oral health issues to manage them before we move forward with dental implant placement. Our team will also make sure there is enough structure to support new roots, and can choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert the new roots with the use of digital imaging technology. To ensure the entire process is a comfortable one, our team will administer a local anesthetic and dental sedation, so you feel relaxed and comfortable, even if you have dental anxiety.
Same-Day and All-On-Four
With the same-day process, our team will insert dental implants into the process and in the same visit, attach an abutment to the post so we can connect a crown, which completes your tooth. If you have severe tooth loss, we may extract the last few teeth and insert multiple posts per arch, so we can connect a new set of teeth with the All-On-Four process. You return home with a full smile, one designed to look natural, absorb daily bite forces, and last for years to come, possibly decades or even a lifetime, with proper care and attention.
