Losing your teeth could lead to major trouble for your oral health, from your appearance to bite function. To help, we can place dental implants to address missing teeth. To help ensure proper placement, your Brooklyn, NY, periodontist and dental implant expert uses advanced digital imaging technology.
Planning Your Tooth Replacement
First, we want to take a close look at your smile. In addition to a simple visual exam, we will also look closely at your smile with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras, digital systems that use less radiation and provide high-definition images instantly chairside, so we can assess the severity of your tooth loss and identify any underlying issues, such as periodontal disease, which we can manage with periodontics to protect your new teeth. Our team will also make sure your jawbone can support new teeth. If tooth loss has weakened your smile, we can strengthen the lower jaw with grafting, and provide new structures in the upper jaw with a sinus lift. Our team will plan and guide the process with digital imaging to ensure the success of your tooth replacement.
Inserting Your Dental Implants
Once we choose the right angle, position, and depth to insert your new tooth roots, we will guide the dental implants into your jaw. Made from biocompatible titanium posts, these implants will be accepted as new roots by the body. Which means once in place, the flow of nutrients will resume to the jaw to keep it intact and allow your new teeth to last for decades to come. To ensure you are comfortable through the placement process, we will numb the placement area directly with a local anesthesia, and we will also offer sedation to help you enter a deep state of calm, with little to no memory of the placement process at all.
Creating Custom Restorations
Once your new posts are in place, we may wait for the area to heal before we move forward with completing the new tooth. However, we can also offer same-day dental implants, in which we attach a custom crown or connect a prosthetic in the same visit. In fact, with All-On-Four, we can provide a full set of new teeth in only one sitting, so you leave our office with a full and beautiful smile. If you have any questions about how we plan and place your new teeth, or if you are ready to tackle your tooth loss, then reach out to our office today to get started.
