Dental Implants Forest Hills NY
Dental implants are titanium post that are surgically implanted into the jawbone of the patient. The prosthetic is then attached via an abutment or multiple abutments. As the dental implants fuse to the jawbone of the patient, implants are considered “permanent.” With that said, the prosthetics aren’t. Still, if well cared for, prosthetics like dental crowns can last upwards of 20 years!
Dental implants are an excellent choice for patients that have a strong jawbone. If you don’t have a strong jawbone, you may be a candidate for a bone graft procedure. This will provide the bone density needed to install the titanium post.
