Dental Implants
Dental implants are a smart choice for adults of any age, whether you were born without certain teeth, experienced damage to your teeth or have a tooth with infection or decay.
Dental implants can even be beneficial for teens who have finished growing.
Not only do teeth implants make you look and feel great, with a new, beautiful smile, but they are also a long lasting option.
Empty spaces in your mouth can actually lead to more damage such as a deteriorating jawbone. But dental implants will stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss.
Staten Island dental implants are a great investment to protect your teeth and your mouth.
"Dental implants offer an unparalleled solution for tooth replacement, blending aesthetic appeal with crucial functional benefits like preserving jawbone integrity and ensuring long-term oral health. They are a definitive step towards a healthier, more confident smile." – Dr. Anne Gershkowitz, Sola Dental Spa Expert.
Tooth Replacement Options Using Dental Implants
There are two common types of dental implants: endosteal and subperiosteal. Understanding the differences is key to determining the best treatment plan.
Whether you are looking to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or a full set of teeth, dental implants are a highly effective option. Implant-supported bridges can replace missing teeth without requiring support from surrounding natural teeth, thereby preserving the bone and keeping it healthy and intact.
Because your mouth is an important part of your face, you want to turn to an experienced cosmetic dentist specializing in dental implants. Dr. Anne Gershkowitz of Sola Dental Spa is a highly recommended dental implant dentist in Staten Island that can give you back your confidence in your smile.
What to Expect During Surgery
Prior to surgery, you may be asked to take antibiotics to prepare your body for the upcoming dental implant surgery.
Upon checking into the dentist’s office, you will first be asked to rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash. Then, your mouth will be numbed with local anesthesia so you won’t feel a thing. An incision is made into your gums to expose the jawbone underneath.
A quiet drill is used to make space for the implant in the bone. Then, the implant is screwed into place. Lastly, the gums are closed up over the implant, possibly with a stitch or two to hold gums in place.
Over the next few months, the gums begin to heal and the implant attaches securely to the bone in a process called osseointegration.
"Our priority during the dental implant procedure is patient comfort and precision. Utilizing advanced techniques and local anesthesia, we ensure a smooth and virtually pain-free experience, allowing for optimal healing and successful integration." – The Sola Dental Spa Team.
Implant Care and Maintenance
After surgery, dental implant care is important for the procedure to work properly and to prevent infection. Dental implant care in Staten Island must begin immediately, as soon as you get home.
Electric toothbrushes are recommended for the best cleaning of implants to keep them looking white and healthy. Water flossers are also great for breaking up bacteria. Be careful when using mouthwash as some can be abrasive for implants.
Consult a dental implant dentist in Staten Island for a complete list of dos and don'ts. Routine check-ups are recommended to ensure longevity.
