Little Neck NY Implant Dentist
Living with missing teeth is difficult. Gaps in your smile can not only affect your self esteem but they can also have a drastic effect on your overall oral health. Aside from the appearance of missing teeth, your bite and any remaining teeth can suffer from increased strain. It may also be incredibly difficult to eat the things you once did as well. If you are looking to replace missing and to restore your smile, our cosmetic dentist can help. Our
Little Neck NY implant dentist, Stuart Shaffren, DDS, can help determine whether dental implants are right for you.
Dental implants are unlike any other method of tooth replacement. While bridges and dentures are commonly used to restore smiles, these methods will not completely allow patients to eat and speak freely at times. These devices usually require that they are inserted properly with some sort of denture adhesive to make sure that they stay in place but they are not always reliable. Unlike these other methods, dental implants can provide patients with unprecedented support. Dental implants get their strength from the use of surgically inserted titanium posts that act as makeshift tooth roots. Dentures and bridges are not planted into the mouth like implants are. This is what allows patients with dental implants to eat with confidence. Here with our
Little Neck NY implant dentist, Stuart Shaffren, DDS, you can see whether you are eligible for this surgical procedure or not. The first step involved is the surgical insertion of the titanium posts. These posts will meld with your jawbone in a completely biological process known as osseointegration. Once the posts have healed, your artificial teeth will be installed. Each tooth is specifically designed to look natural and to match any remaining teeth that you may have.
If you are looking to replace missing teeth and are looking for a solution, consider planning a visit with our
Little Neck NY implant dentist. Our cosmetic dentist, Stuart Shaffren, DDS, can help any prospective patients find the method of dental restoration that will suit them best. Call us here at our dental offices to schedule an appointment today.
