What Are Dental Implants?
A gap in your smile can have a much bigger impact on your oral health than you might think. When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area can begin to weaken, and nearby teeth may shift out of their proper place. To help prevent these problems, our team at Smile Couture offers lifelike dental implants. A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation for a future tooth replacement. Once the implant has bonded with your natural jawbone, our dentists can attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture that looks and functions like a real tooth. With good habits and regular checkups at our Wantagh, NY practice, dental implants can last for many years. If you're missing one or more teeth or are planning to have a tooth extracted, we invite you to schedule an oral exam at Smile Couture to learn if you're a good candidate for dental implants.
What Is the Dental Implant Process?
Once we've planned your treatment, we'll first need to perform dental implant surgery, which involves placing the titanium post (or posts) into your jawbone. After numbing the area (and administering nitrous oxide sedation, if requested), your dentist will make a small opening in your gums to access your jawbone. Using specialized tools, they'll create space for the titanium implant before carefully inserting the post into position. Over the next several months, the post will merge with your natural jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Once the area has healed, we'll attach the final restoration, which will be modeled and shaded to match your smile.
