Corbin Dental offers full services for dental implants in Oyster Bay, NY!
Dental implants are the most effective way to replace severely damaged and lost teeth. If you are currently dealing with missing teeth and must make a decision on how to replace them, you should consider dental implants. They are the most effective and natural solution available today.
The phrase ‘dental implants’ loosely refers to the entire tooth replacement unit. Thus the implant itself is just one component. There are actually three parts that connect together to replace missing teeth. A dental implant is a post-like structure that has threads like a screw. Our restorative dentist will surgically place it into the jaw bone during a procedure right here in our Oyster Bay office.
We use a single dental implant to replace one tooth, and many implants to replace multiple teeth. Connected to the dental implant post is a small piece called an abutment. We use this part as the connector piece from the dental implant to the dental prosthesis (crown).
The Best Solution to Replace Missing Teeth in Oyster Bay
What sets our dental implant services apart from other options is the expert care you receive. Our in-house implant dentistry can offer you experienced care, from replacing a few missing teeth to a full mouth reconstruction.
Did you know that this tooth restoration preserves the natural bone, which stimulates bone growth? They essentially perform the same job as the missing tooth’s root. This lack of stimulation that you see with other options is what leads to bone loss in the jaw, a saggy face, and other issues.
Dental implants also allow the patient to chew food with greater force, allowing the patient to eat a variety of foods without restrictions. Our dentists surgically install dental implants in the jaw bone, thus creating a very durable and permanent bond to support the restoration.
Why choose dental implants over dentures?
Dentures are known to be hard to wear and difficult to maintain. They can also create an embarrassing situation when they slip around in the mouth which leads to slurred speech and fear of them falling out.
Dental implants are usually the best option for people who:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have healthy gums
- Are not smokers
- Are willing to commit to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits
What to Expect: The Dental Implants Procedure
The dental implant procedure in Oyster Bay, NY will consist of a customized planning phase, at least one surgical procedure, months of healing time, and then the actual creating and attachment of the dental prosthesis.
Each patient will need a thorough evaluation in order for their dentist to create a treatment plan. Our Oyster Bay dentist office uses advanced scanning technology to get a better picture of the patient’s oral structure. It will allow us to see the available jaw bone so that the implant placement is done accurately.
Next is the surgical placement of the dental implants into the jaw bone. After the surgery, there is a healing period where the implants and the bone fuse together. We will monitor the patient during this time. Once healed, we place the abutments and the final dental prosthesis (crown, bridge, or denture).
