Comparing Your Tooth Replacement Options

Most patients are aware that if they have missing teeth, dental bridges and conventional dentures are the default solution. But bridges require adjacent healthy teeth to be present and permanently modified to act as the foundation. Dentures often become loose and slip when you eat, speak, or even smile and can cause gagging or sores on the gums. Ultimately, both solutions can’t offer the bone stimulation needed to maintain a healthy jawbone or the restored function you need to eat a varied diet. Dental implants are the modern solution designed to meet these needs and more. They are made of three components: post, abutment, and restoration, or new teeth.

Securely fixed to your jawbone, dental implants return over 98% of natural biting and chewing power. They can replace one tooth, a row of teeth, or a complete arch of missing teeth using either single implants and crowns or a combination of dental implants and a custom, natural-looking bridge of teeth. In all cases, dental implants make it possible to eat comfortably with durable teeth, feel confident in a complete smile, improve your oral and physical health, and live an overall better quality of life. For this reason, implants are one of the preferred solutions and virtually all patients are candidates or can become candidates after preliminary treatment from our surgical team.

Three Steps to a New Smile

Step 1: Consultation

Most of our patients either come to us ready for dental implants or can become candidates after a few initial treatments. Your dental implant treatment plan will be unique to you; there’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. We’ll determine the best path forward by learning your personal smile goals and assessing your dental and medical health as part of your consultation with our periodontist in Lake Success/New Hyde Park, NY. During that visit, you’ll also receive an examination, and we’ll review imaging of your treatment site. These are typically taken with a CBCT machine for an in-depth look at your jawbone health. We’ll provide a detailed review of your treatment plan and walk you through what to expect along each step of this process. Before you leave, we’ll schedule your next visit for your dental implant surgery.

Step 2: Dental Implant Surgery

Your appointment begins with gentle administration of sedation I only use a licensed anesthesiologist for select patients and not routinely. Tooth extractions or bone grafting, if needed, can often be completed during this appointment. Next, using a custom surgical guide, each dental implant will be precisely placed in pre-planned locations in your jawbone. We only use high-quality dental implants from leading manufacturers so we can ensure the longevity of your treatment. As a gum expert, our periodontist also ensures optimal aesthetics with expertly placed soft tissue grafts
that reinforce the strength of the implants while restoring an attractive, balanced smile.

Step 3: Final Smile

It may take three months or more to heal completely. During that period, your implants will permanently bond with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. It’s this bond with the biocompatible implant posts that offers the security and function dental implants are known for. After you’ve healed, you’ll be able to receive your final restoration from your restorative dentist. These fixed teeth will be customized to you, complimenting the shade of remaining healthy teeth for a seamless smile. From then on you won’t have trouble eating or feel embarrassed when you laugh, speak, or smile. Give your dental implants and natural teeth routine care and you may never again need to have a missing tooth replaced!

The Benefits of Seeing a Periodontist

Receiving dental implants can significantly benefit your daily life as well as your health. But before you commit to treatment, make sure you see an implant dentist you can trust. Although some general dentists have the experience to place dental implants, they haven’t had the specialized training that periodontists have to treat any case with ease and efficiency. Periodontists have specific training in implant surgery, as well as soft tissue treatments and bone grafting. That means that our board-certified periodontist not only considers the functional outcomes but the unique aesthetics of your smile as well for the most natural results. Additionally, Dr. Goldstein remains at the forefront of emerging technologies in implant dentistry as a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and the American Board of Periodontology. With over 30 years of dental implant expertise and over 10,000 dental implants placed, he has the skill to provide predictable treatment that restores your health, function, and quality of life. We welcome you to learn more about our dental implant team in Lake Success/New Hyde Park, and see how our specialized care can transform your oral health, overall health, and quality of life.

Making Dental Implants Affordable

Along with lasting, life-changing advantages, dental implants also come with a higher initial cost than traditional alternatives.
