Dental Implants Queens | Replace Teeth

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are metal posts or screws that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow our dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.

How do dental implants work?

Dental implants fuse to your jawbone; providing stable support for artificial teeth. Crowns (caps), dentures and bridges mounted to implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth — an especially important benefit when eating and speaking.

This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges — as well as individual crowns (caps) placed over implants — feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures. Implants over time become grown into the jaw bone thus feeling as closely possible as a real tooth For some people, ordinary bridges and dentures are simply not comfortable or even possible, due to sore spots, poor ridges or gagging. In addition, ordinary bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the space left by the missing tooth. An advantage of implants is that no adjacent teeth need to be prepared or ground down to hold your new replacement tooth/teeth in place.

Why is it important to replace missing teeth?

To regain the health and beauty of your mouth
You can go back to eating whatever you want, whenever you want
It’s simple, painless, safe, and looks as natural as your real teeth were

What is the cost?

Dental implants are usually more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, and most insurance carriers typically cover less than 10 percent of the fees, however, implants last longer and produce a more natural feeling of a tooth. If you’re interested in replacing a missing tooth or teeth, dental implants may be an option for you. Most people are good candidates for implants.

A good candidate should have the following:

Healthy gums
Enough bone to anchor the implants in the jaw: some people who have bone loss still can get implants, but first the bone must be rebuilt using special procedures
A commitment to care of the implanted teeth and surrounding gums: daily brushing and flossing are essential as well as regular visits to the dentist for follow-up

Some people may not be good candidates for implants. They include:

Young people whose jawbones have not stopped growing
Pregnant women
Heavy smokers: smoking hinders healing in the mouth. It can reduce the likelihood of a successful implant.
Alcohol or substance abusers who are not prepared to follow the dentist’s instructions after placement of the implant, such as no smoking, and returning for follow-up
People with various chronic diseases and/or systemic problems

As always our doctors make the final determination if the individual is a good candidate for an implant. Your initial evaluation will include an examination of your mouth and teeth and a thorough review of your medical and dental histories. Various X-Rays scans of your mouth. This will provide information on the amount of bone in your jaw, its shape and where the nerves and sinuses are. Finally, Our dentists will discuss the options available to you, its cost and possible complications and post operative care. Our dentist will work with you to develop a treatment plan for your needs and preferences.
