Dental Implants
Dental implants here at Brookhaven Dental Associates are a great procedure for those who have missing teeth, as they can improve your appearance, speech, and eating habits. Plus, dental implants can increase confidence and self-esteem through this long-lasting procedure.
Dental Implants are specially designed titanium screws that are placed into the jawbone, acting like natural tooth roots. These implants can replace one or more missing teeth, and on some occasions, full mouth reconstruction is possible. A variety of procedures are available to treat missing teeth or to improve your smile's appearance.
While we all want to maintain a bright smile for a lifetime, sometimes we lose one or more of our pearly whites along the way. Whether this is due to disease or injury, a missing tooth can affect more than your appearance. It might slur speech, increase your risk of bacterial infections or gum disease, and even cause jaw pain from misalignment.
We understand that losing a tooth can be tough, that’s why Brookhaven Dental Associates is here to help you regain your confidence and improve your smile with our personalized dental implant services.
About Our Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for replacing severely damaged or missing teeth using special titanium screws to serve as artificial tooth roots. While they are most commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth, we also perform full-mouth reconstructions when necessary.
Once an implant integrates with the bone via a process known as osseointegration, it serves as a stable foundation where we then attach a crown, bridge, or denture. By the completion of this process, we restore both the functionality and aesthetic appearance of your natural teeth.
We take pride in having a variety of procedures to treat missing teeth, depending on whether you need a single missing tooth replacement or a solution for multiple missing teeth.
Benefits of Professional Dental Implant Services
Our professional dental implant services offer a seamless solution for teeth replacement, offering plenty of functional and aesthetic benefits. We evaluate your oral health and discuss your objectives before creating a personalized implant procedure that will deliver the best possible outcome.
We have a highly-trained and experienced team of dentists and oral surgeons who specialize in performing this procedure. You can count on us to uphold the highest standards of quality service, safety, and accuracy from start to finish.
Once we complete the procedure, your implants will look and feel like your natural teeth, restoring full chewing functionality. After the process, you can once again speak and smile with confidence knowing that you look as great as you feel.
We also offer comprehensive follow-up care to make sure that the implants heal properly and integrate well with surrounding bones. Our ongoing support makes it possible to address any concerns promptly for a smooth recovery and long-term success.
What to Expect at Your Dental Implant Appointment
In the first step of your dental implant procedure, your dentist will conduct a thorough oral examination to check the condition of your jawbone, teeth, and gums. Based on the number of missing teeth and other considerations, the dentist will then come up with a personalized plan for treatment.
The second phase is the implant placement surgery, which will take place under local anesthesia. After a healing period of between three and six months, the dentist will place the abutment, a small connector piece to hold the crown, bridge, or denture in place.
Once the abutment heals fully, it’s time for the final step – placing a custom crown, bridge, or denture that matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. Afterwards, you may need to schedule routine check-ups to monitor your implant and oral health.
