Say Goodbye to Missing Teeth with White Plains Family Dental Arts Dental Implants!
Are you tired of dealing with missing or failing teeth? Do you want a permanent solution that will restore your confidence and improve your oral health? Look no further than dental implants from White Plains Family Dental Arts!
What are Dental Implants, and Why are They Better than Other Tooth Replacement Options?
Dental implants are made of titanium, and they act as an artificial tooth root that can anchor a replacement tooth, or crown. They are a superior choice to dentures or bridges, because they are a fixed and permanent solution that feels and functions just like natural teeth. Dental implants offer numerous benefits, such as improved comfort, increased confidence, and long-lasting durability. They also maintain the integrity of your jawbone, which can shrink over time with missing teeth.
What Happens During the Dental Implant Process?
The implant process is straightforward and completed in multiple stages. Your dentist will assess your candidacy for implants, and ensure that your oral tissue and jawbone ridges are in good condition. Afterward, your dentist will remove the affected tooth, clean the socket, and determine if enough bone is present to hold the surgical grade titanium screw. If not, a grafting procedure may be required.
Next, your dentist will position the implant and direct it into the jawbone using different-sized drilling tools. After the implant is fitted and the gum sutured, a settling period of three to six months is expected to allow your jaw and gum time to recover and for the bone to become merged with the titanium post.
Once the implant is bonded and the abutment is placed on the fixture, the crown or prosthetic tooth can be installed.
Why Choose Dental Implants Over Bridges?
While bridges can provide a cosmetic solution to a missing tooth, they are not as effective as dental implants. Bridges require filing down teeth on either side of the missing tooth, while dental implants maintain the integrity of the jawline. Dental implants can replace one or multiple teeth, or entire top and bottom teeth, while bridges can only cover a gap from a missing tooth.
Maintaining dental implants is easy and requires the same care as natural teeth.
Flossing, brushing, and routine dental visits will keep your implants in excellent condition for a lifetime.
