Dental implants are an increasingly popular alternative for replacing missing teeth. They are often vastly superior to dentures, which come with their own set of challenges, or bridges, which can affect your lifestyle in ways you may not expect. Neither dentures nor bridges, for example, help you maintain your facial bone structure.
When you pair up the vast array of technological improvements in the dental industry with the experience and up-to-date training our cosmetic dentist undergoes, you have better options for replacing lost teeth. A few examples include:
Implants that are immediately placed into your mouth are called same-day implants, one-day dental implants or teeth in a day. With this convenient, cutting-edge technique, your dentist places the metal screw, called the implant, and the replacement tooth, typically a crown, during the same visit.
You can leave the office and go about your business. You can eat, speak and take care of your teeth as you always have. The tissue regeneration and implant absorption process takes place at the same time. After anywhere from 90 days to six months, you return for your custom-made crown. By the time the permanent crown is set in your mouth, the implant hardware should be totally secure.
Implants are not always covered by insurance policies, so the same-day implants may be more expensive for you. Your family dentist may have options that can fit your budget. A more important prerequisite is that you must have sufficient natural bone before you can even consider getting one-day dental implants.
If you need periodontal disease treatment or any kind of jawbone preparation, such as a bone graft to be able to sustain an implant, then you are not a good candidate for same-day dental implants. Since your general dentist in Brooklyn is also experienced in cosmetic dentistry, he can inform you of your best options, while ensuring that your bone remains stable, just in case you need an implant in the future.
Implants are not just for people who have poor oral healthcare or suffer from degenerating gums that lead to tooth loss. While implants certainly are useful options for replacing teeth lost due to periodontal disease, there are a number of other reasons that you may need one or more dental implants, including:
Implants are designed to look and feel just like your real teeth, which is why so many people prefer them to other teeth replacement options. If you have a family history of bone loss or are concerned about losing your facial appearance due to the effects of aging, implants can help to protect your jawline and the bones that support your teeth.
Dental implants overall are a particularly effective choice for replacing lost teeth because of their longevity. Dentures and bridges often need to be replaced within five to 15 years because the shape of your face changes over time as bone loss occurs.
You may think that one-day dental implants are cost-prohibitive, but when you compare the cost of replacing expensive bridgework and dentures every 10 years, the cost is much less. With proper dental care habits, bi-annual professional cleaning and regular checkups, your implants can last for a lifetime.
You don’t ever have to worry about being caught “without your teeth,” because implants of every kind are permanent fixtures in your mouth. They don’t ever come out and rarely need to be replaced. While unusual circumstances may lead to dental implant problems, your Brooklyn family dentist does everything possible to ensure that you have a long, successful oral history with your new implants.
Stable and strong, one-day dental implants, implant dentures and even mini implants are the next best thing to your own natural teeth. You won’t ever have to suffer though, or pay for, getting your teeth filled, undergoing a root canal procedure or other cosmetic procedures on teeth-crowned implants.
