You can talk to Dr. Matthew Scaffa, your implant dentist in Staten Island, New York, to learn more about our implant treatments.

About Tooth Implants

Implants arent natural teeth, but they can give your restoration the same stability as natural teeth. Implants are titanium screws used to replace lost tooth roots. Theyre inserted into your jaw surgically to support your new teeth. If youre replacing individual missing teeth, Dr. Scaffa will use one implant per tooth. A dental crown will act like your new tooth. An implant bridge can replace multiple teeth in a row, supported by an implant at each end of the bridge. Implant-supported dentures are used to replace all your teeth using multiple implants.

Once the implants are in place, the process of osseointegration, which is when the implant integrates into the bone, begins. This is a three-to-six-month period where the implants fuse with your bone system to become a part of your jaw. Afterward, well attach an abutment to the implant to hold your restoration and, lastly, your restoration to replace lost teeth. Your smile will then be as good as new.

Benefits of Rebuilding Your Smile with Implants

Implants are by far the best way to rebuild your smile, as theyre strong, reliable, and enduring. Your replacement teeth will be just as secure and stable as natural teeth because theyre anchored to implants, which are part of your jaw system. With implants, you can:

• Smile and laugh with confidence
• Thoroughly enjoy your meals
• Avoid jawbone loss to keep your face from sagging
• Enjoy all the benefits of stronger, healthier, fully functional teeth
