Dental Implants in New York, NY
If you’ve lost teeth due to injury or disease, dental implants may be for you. People are living longer than ever, and while regular brushing and flossing allow many of us to keep our smiles or a lifetime, sometimes, removing teeth becomes necessary. When a tooth is removed it is imperative that it is replaced right away to help to maintain the structure of your face, and keep it from looking collapsed. Dental implants provide much-needed stimulation to the jawbone, keeping it strong and healthy.
What Are Dental Implants?
The Dental Implant Options
From single implants, to implant supported bridges, to implant supported dentures, the versatility of a dental implant, as well as the success as a tooth replacement option, is unmatched. Dental implants can be used in a variety of ways to replace missing teeth. There is single tooth replacement, multiple tooth replacement as well as implant-supported overdentures. If you are missing more than one tooth, implants can act as supports for fixed bridgework. Implants can even make dentures more comfortable, effective and healthier to wear. With implant supported dentures, care and maintenance is much easier than traditional dentures. They don’t move around when you eat, there is no need for messy adhesives, as the dental implants themselves keep the dentures in place, and they look and feel much more natural, generally speaking, than traditional dentures.
