What Dental Implants Could Do For You

Dental implants can do more than give you a full, beautiful smile. Dental implants can turn your smile around and improve its dental implantsfunctionality. However, determining just what dental implants can do for you may seem overwhelming or confusing. Learn more about dental implants with Dr. Michael Teitelbaum at Briarcliff Center for Esthetic Dentistry in Briarcliff Manor, NY.

What can dental implants do for me? 
Dental implants are a permanent solution to your missing teeth. These important dental restorations can replace one or many of your teeth depending on your need. Replacing one tooth requires a single implant. Replacing several teeth in a row requires two implants on either side of a dental bridge. Unlike traditional bridges, implants stand alone and do not require the use of the surrounding healthy teeth to hold the bridge in place. Finally, four or more implants can hold a denture in place to replace all of the teeth on an arch.

Dental Implants in Briarcliff Manor, NY
Dental implants are unique in that your dentist uses your jawbone’s natural healing and integration abilities to hold the implant’s fixture, a small post, in place. The fixture is placed into the bone, which, over time, grows around the implant, holding it securely in place. This process takes several months, after which your dentist attaches your custom-made prosthetic tooth or teeth to the implant.

The Benefits of Dental Implants 
Dental implants are permanent and effective, feeling and functioning just like your natural teeth. The dental laboratory which creates the prosthetic tooth takes your natural teeth into account to ensure your implant blends in with your smile unnoticeably. Implants can last a lifetime with proper care and have a high success rate. Though the initial implantation process takes some time, that time is nothing compared to the lifetime of a functional smile which follows. Implants also prevent the side effects of missing teeth such as drifting teeth and sagging or sunken facial features.
