Rebuilding Your Smile after Tooth Loss? An Implant Dentist Can Help!
Rebuilding your smile after tooth loss can be daunting, as there are multiple options for replacing missing teeth. At Dental Art Concepts PLLC, we can guide you to the best restorative treatment. Dental implants offer a long term solution of restoring lost teeth and making your smile whole again. 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 aren’t natural teeth, but they can give your restoration the same stability as natural teeth. Implants are titanium screws used to replace lost tooth roots. They’re inserted into your jaw surgically to support your new teeth. If you’re 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, we’ll 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.
