A dental implant is a gold standard tooth replacement option that is composed of a dental implant post, an abutment, and a prosthesis. The dental implant post is made to act like a natural tooth root, the abutment is the connector piece, and the prosthesis is what gives patients a natural and better-looking new smile.
Depending on each person’s specific smile, dental implants in Mohegan Lake, NY can be used to replace any number of missing teeth. Here is more on how many teeth dental implants can replace.
The Number Of Missing Teeth Dental Implants In Mohegan Lake, NY Can Replace
Dental implants can replace any number of missing teeth. Whether people have one missing tooth, several missing teeth, or a full arch of missing teeth, dental implants can restore the look, function, and health of their smile for years to come. As long as people have enough jawbone density to support their new smile, dental implants can reliably and predictably replace missing teeth.
For those who don’t have enough jawbone density to replace their missing teeth, they can first be treated with a bone grafting procedure. A bone grafting procedure will give the patient a stable foundation for their new smile to be placed on.
The Types Of Dental Implants In Mohegan Lake, NY I Can Replace My Missing Teeth With
Here are the specific types of dental implant options people’s missing teeth can be replaced with.
Single Dental Implants:
Single Dental Implants are used when only one tooth is missing. The single dental implant post replaces the root of the missing tooth and supports a custom-made tooth crown (prosthesis). This is the most natural-looking and functional solution for a single missing tooth.
Implant Supported Dentures:
Implant Supported Dentures are a great tooth replacement option for those who have missing teeth or are ready to upgrade their smile from traditional dentures. With implant supported dentures, two or more dental implants are used to support a denture.
Full Mouth Dental Implants:
Full mouth dental implants are used to replace an entire arch, or arches, of missing teeth. When people are treated with full mouth dental implants, four or more dental implants are strategically placed in the patient’s jawbone so they can securely support the prosthesis.
