Dental Implants in Bayside New York
If you have missing teeth that need to be replaced, you may be thinking about getting dental implants or dentures. At our dental practice, Stuart Shaffren, DDS, our dentist, Dr. Stuart Shaffren, can provide you with
dental implants in Bayside New York or dentures.
Dental implants and dentures are both important ways that missing teeth can be replaced. Our dentist will want to review your personal dental situation as well as your own needs and desires before he makes a recommendation on which type of tooth replacement procedure will work best for you. Dental implants are a popular tooth replacement method because they look, feel, and function just like regular teeth. This is why many patients want to get dental implants in Bayside New York. However, dental implants are more costly than dentures, and for this reason many patients choose to get dentures instead. Dental implants though will most likely last for a lifetime without any further care needed, once they are completed. Once you get a dental implant in place, all that needs to be done is for you to follow a great at-home teeth cleaning regimen as well as come into our dental practice for periodic teeth cleanings. This should ensure that your dental implants last a lifetime. However, dentures need constant care, are not a permanent tooth replacement method, and will not be as comfortable as dental implants. Dental implants are so comfortable that you will soon forget that you even have them in your mouth. One additional drawback to getting dental implants is that you do need to have oral surgery in order to receive them. When you get dentures, you do not need to have any type of surgery. The denture process is relatively short and only takes a few office visits, while getting dental implants can take six months, and sometimes longer.
