Dental Implants in Forest Hills NY [Highly Rated Dentist]

If you have a tooth that is knocked out or has fallen out and cannot be repaired, or you have a tooth that needs to be extracted, you’ll need to consider replacement options. While there are a few options to choose from, the most secure and long-lasting is dental implants. Dental implants are strong, hypoallergenic, biocompatible, and sturdy. This, along with other major benefits, makes them a very popular tooth or teeth replacement option.

For dental implants Forest Hills NY, reach out to Forest Hills Dental. Dr. Mark is able to provide outstanding services. Before you know it, you’ll have your new, permanent fixtures, and you’ll be able to smile wide without a gap in your teeth.

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.

Types of Dental Implants

While dental implants themselves are the metal rods that replace the root portion of the tooth, there are different types of procedures and prosthetics to choose from. The restoration method Dr. Mark recommends will depend on your specific replacement needs.

Below are some of the most common forms:

Single Implant Crowns

If you have a missing tooth, a single implant crown will be the best dental implant to meet your needs. A single implant is placed in the gap where your tooth is missing. Once it is installed, a dental crown is added via an abutment. The crown can be made to look similar to a natural tooth with materials like porcelain and porcelain fused to metal, but other options like gold may be available.

Dental Implant Bridges

A dental implant bridge is essentially a hybrid of a dental bridge and dental implants. Implants are placed to secure a bridge prosthetic that replaces 3-4 teeth. This offers a secure option for those that need a few teeth replaced.

Implant Stabilized Dentures

Implant stabilized/supported dentures are a good choice for patients that have a fair amount of bone loss or otherwise have issues keeping their dentures in place. For some, existing dentures can be retrofitted. This means a new prosthetic won’t need to be created.

With implant supported (stabilized) dentures, there are generally 2-4 implants placed in the jawbone of the patient. A special abutment is used to snap the dentures in place. This allows for extra support.

All on Four / Permanent Hybrid Implant Dentures

All-on-4 dentures involve the placement of implants (generally four) that hold a full denture in place. Unlike implant supported dentures, All-on-4 can’t be removed by the patient. The prosthetic can be removed by our good dentist if repairs are needed.

Benefits of Dental Implants in Forest Hills NY

There are a lot of benefits to dental implants. Some of these benefits include:

Strength and Durability. Dental implants are the strongest replacement option. With dental implants, you’ll be able to continue to bite and chew your favorite foods without worry.
Preserves Surrounding Teeth. Dental implants involve the placement of a titanium rod or rods to hold the tooth or teeth in place. With a dental bridge, healthy, surrounding teeth need to be reshaped to place the bridge. Dental implants do not affect the surrounding teeth.
Preserved Facial Appearance. Without a replacement, the face of a patient may begin to look sunken in. Dental implants help to preserve the facial appearance of a patient.
No Teeth Shifting. Often when people have a missing tooth or teeth, they don’t consider the surrounding teeth. If there is a gap in the teeth of a patient, the surrounding, healthy teeth may begin to shift. This leads to crowding, impacting, and crookedness. Dental implants stop teeth from shifting and keep them in place.
Maintains Oral Health. If the teeth of a patient shift, it can make it harder to brush and floss. This, in turn, can lead to cavities and gum disease. As dental implants prevent teeth from shifting, it makes them beneficial to the oral health of the patient.
Stronger Jawbone. Many people don’t think of their jawbone when it comes to missing tooth. Teeth actually help to maintain the integrity of the jawbone. Dental implants help to keep the jawbone strong.
Long-Lasting. Dental implants are intended to be permanent replacements. While the prosthetics may need to be adjusted over time, the implants themselves can last a lifetime.
Improved Smile! You can smile wide and with confidence. Most of the time implants are difficult (if not impossible) to notice. This can mean a boost in self-esteem and overall mood.

Caring for Implants

While dental implants are considered “permanent,” you still need to make sure you take proper dental care of your implants. In order to do so, you need to take care of the gums surrounding your implants. Make sure you are brushing and flossing. Even though the prosthetic is fake, your gums are not. Without taking proper dental care, it can lead to the implant failing.

Brush, floss, and rinse twice a day, every day. Also, make sure you visit Forest Hills Dental twice a year for a regular cleaning and checkup. During these regular visits, Dr. Mark can check for gum disease and tooth decay. He will also provide a professional cleaning.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants in Forest Hills NY?

There are a few factors that will decide whether or not you are a good candidate for Dental Implants in Forest Hills NY. One major concern is your jawbone density. If your jawbone has deteriorated, you may not be a good candidate for dental implants. With that said, a bone graft may resolve the issue. Dr. Mark is able to provide bone grafting services, along with sinus lifting. These procedures can improve your chances of having implants placed.

Another factor is cost. It’s important to understand that dental implants are generally the costliest replacement option. This is especially so if a sinus lift or bone grafting is required. Forest Hills Dental will provide you with an accurate estimate and will help to determine if a dental implant or implants are the right option for your needs and budget.

Our Dental Implant Procedure in Forest Hills, New York

The process of getting dental implants starts with a visit to our dental office in Forest Hills, New York, where Dr. Mark can take a look and see what replacement options are best to meet your needs. If he decides dental implants are appropriate, costs can be discussed, and an appointment can be set for the placement of the implants.

During your placement visit, Dr. Mark will surgically place the titanium rods into your jawbone. After this, you will be given time to heal and for the jawbone to fuse with the rods. This may take around 3-6 months. During this time period, a temporary restoration will be placed.

The final appointment involves the placement of the prosthetic. Dr. Mark will ensure the titanium implant has fused properly to your jawbone. He will then place the prosthetic via an abutment. Once he is sure the prosthetic fits properly, you’ll be good to go!
