Dental Implants for a Lifetime Replacement

While most dental procedures are really no big deal, when you do go through a procedure, say to replace a tooth, you want to make sure it will last a long time. This is one of the reasons why Dr. Nick Mobilia, DDS of Elite Dental Arts here in New York, NY offers dental implants to our patients. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that has the ability to last for a lifetime!

Dental implants are the most durable and stable tooth replacement option out there. The implant is inserted into the jawbone just like how a normal tooth’s root is. An implant consists of a titanium implant post, an abutment to serve as the base for the new tooth, and a dental crown to act as the part of the tooth you see. We are able to make custom dental crowns that look just like the rest of your teeth. This is wonderful for those whose missing tooth affects their smile.

To insert a dental implant, Dr. Mobilia will make an incision in the gums and place the titanium post into the bone socket. It will take three to six months for the implant to heal, so during this time, the patient will wear a temporary crown to protect the area. After the healing is complete, an abutment is placed on the implant and a custom crown is permanently cemented into place. With a good oral hygiene routine and regular visit to your dentist, an implant should be able to stay in good health for a lifetime.

 

Our teeth will ideally stay with us for our whole lives, but if they do not, you want the next best thing.
