BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
Are you considering getting dental implants? Dental implants are one solution to a missing tooth or multiple teeth. A tooth can be lost for a variety of reasons including severe decay, gum disease, or trauma. All County Oral Surgeons recommend implants - including our Teeth Xpress Products that have many benefits. You can replace a missing tooth or get a whole new smile at All County Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. We also make it easy and convenient at any one of our 3 locations: Flushing, Melville and New Hyde Park.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant consists of an artificial tooth root that is surgically implanted in the jaw bone. A crown is then attached that resembles a natural tooth. This tooth will look and function similar to your existing teeth.
What are the Biggest Benefits of Dental Implants?
Natural Look. A dental implant can be designed to look just like the rest of your existing teeth. The crown portion is carefully created to be the precise size, shape, and color of the tooth it is replacing. After the implant has been put in place, no one will be able to tell it apart from the rest of your teeth. It will blend right in and even improve your smile.
Long Lasting. Once a dental implant is put into place, it is permanent. As long as there is sufficient jawbone to hold it in place, a dental implant can last for years, possibly even the rest of your life. An implant can even restore bone density and strength to your jawbone, preventing the unfortunate resorption of jaw bone that can occur when a tooth is lost.
Comfort. When compared to other tooth replacement options, such as bridges or dentures, dental implants are much more comfortable. An implant is permanent, so it stays in place while you eat, sleep, and brush your teeth. It won’t pinch your gums or cause pain and damage to your other teeth.
Better Oral Health. All County Oral Surgeons can replace a missing tooth with an implant can prevent bone loss of the jaw. It can help to keep the rest of your teeth in proper alignment. Implants also promote healthy gums, which can be an issue with bridges and dentures that can potentially damage gums.
RESTORE YOUR SMILE WITH THE HELP OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
Are you in need of a smile makeover? Do you resist smiling in pictures because you aren’t satisfied with the appearance of your teeth? If you have teeth that are severely damaged, decayed, or missing, dental implants can replace them, giving you a new smile that you can feel confident about.
Lost a Tooth? Don’t wait. The sooner you see an oral surgeon about a replacement for your missing tooth the better your chances that a dental implant will be successful. As soon as a tooth is lost, bone loss begins in the jaw. The bone can weaken quickly to the point where it is unable to support an implant. This leads to more in-depth procedures such as a bone graft to fortify the jawbone and promote regrowth in preparation for an implant. The sooner you see an All County Oral Surgeon for replacement for a missing tooth, the easier the process will be.
