Dental Implants in New York,
NY | Dr. Nargiz Schmidt
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that serve as replacements for missing tooth roots. These posts create a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
The American Academy of Implant Dentistry reports that dental implants have a success rate of 95%, making them one of the most reliable options for tooth replacement. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, which helps preserve your natural tooth structure and bone density.
The implant process typically involves collaboration between a surgical specialist who places the titanium post and a prosthodontist who designs and attaches the custom restoration. Over several months, the implant fuses with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and permanent foundation. Once healing is complete, your custom restoration is attached to the implant, completing your new smile.
Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
Dental implants offer advantages that other tooth replacement options simply can’t match:
Research shows that within the first three months of tooth loss, you can lose up to 25% of the bone in that area. Dental implants help prevent this deterioration by providing the stimulation your jawbone needs to maintain its strength and density.
Natural Appearance And Function
Implants look and feel like your real teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Long-Lasting Solution
With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a worthwhile investment in your oral health.
Bone Preservation
Implants stimulate your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss.
No Impact On Adjacent Teeth
Unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down healthy teeth for support
Improved Oral Health
Implants are easier to clean than traditional bridges and don’t trap food particles like removable dentures.
