When you have missing teeth, we can help address your tooth loss with dental implants. From planning to placement and aftercare, we can help your smile with state-of-the-art technology. In today’s blog, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and implant expert talks about how we address tooth loss with implant technology.
Replacing Missing Teeth With Dental Implants
Dental implants are a unique and advanced option for addressing tooth loss. We don’t need a prosthetic to be held in place with suction or adhesives, or with crowns or clasps. Instead, we will insert a biocompatible titanium post into the jaw, which act as a new tooth root. This bonds with the jaw to prevent the breakdown in the jaw that usually follows tooth loss, that way your new teeth can stay in place for decades to come, possibly a lifetime! We then restore a single tooth dental implant with a crown, or we could use several posts to secure a bridge or denture. The entire time, we will plan and implement the process with the latest in digital technology.
Advanced Technology
Our team will start with detailed CT scanning and digital x-rays, obtaining high-definition and panoramic images of the smile to assess the state of your smile and the causes of your tooth loss. These images use a fraction of the radiation and will be available instantly chairside, so we can walk you through the process. No bitewings either! Our team can also employ the 3shape Trios scanner to gather images that can be used to create digital impressions, so we can plan and guide the placement of dental implants in detail. We also guide the placement process with the Virtual Implant Placement (VIP) software. If we need to print your restorations or prosthetics, we can do so with the onsite SprintRay 3D printer!
Healing the Placement Area
When we complete the placement process, we want the heal to heal quickly so we can move forward with the attachment of a restoration, and ensure you can start your normal routine much shorter. To help, we can use regenerative technologies like Pep-Gen, PRP therapy, and Gem 21, which involve secreting special autoplasms into the soft tissues to heal the gums and connective tissues much faster.
