How do dental implants work?

Dental implants are one of the most significant advancements in dentistry. Unlike a dental bridge attached to teeth adjacent to the missing space, a dental implant is a standalone prosthesis placed into the jawbone, replacing your tooth and its valuable root.

We fabricate a dental crown to attach to the implant for single dental implants. The crown functions like a natural tooth, and it is a surprisingly conservative treatment for replacing missing teeth.

Your dentist may discuss an implant-retained bridge or denture if you have multiple missing teeth. 

The Dental Implant Process

The first step to a new smile is a consultation with your Brooklyn dentist. This appointment determines your eligibility for dental implants. If you are a candidate, we will schedule your implant placement. 

After placement, you'll enjoy an integration period. This lasts a few months and encourages the implant posts to integrate into the jawbone. 

The final step is crown or prosthetic placement. Typically, it takes up to six dental implants to secure a prosthetic.
