New York Dental Care - Dental Implants Dentist

Do you live in Queens or Long Island, New York and need dental implants?  Well, now thanks to Bayside Dental and Mid-Island Dental Associates there is hope for you to be able to secure your smile for the future.  So, regardless as to whether you have missing teeth from decay or from an accident, dental implants will permanently relieve any inconveniences that you may encounter with dentures.

The first thing that you need to understand is what dental implants are.  These simply utilize small anchors that are made from a biocompatible metal and then placed into your jawbone.  The anchors are securely embedded into your jawbone, which will then grow around them within just a few months.  From there abutment posts are inserted into the anchors and then the replacement teeth are permanently attached to these posts.  This will provide you with teeth that both feel and look natural. 

At the Bayside and Mid-Island dental offices Imtec mini dental implants are used.  These are also known as MDI implants.  They are miniature titanium alloy implants that act like your tooth’s root.  Once these are placed in your mouth, your denture will gently rest upon your gum tissue.  This procedure is actually minimally invasive because, in most cases your gum does not even have to be opened.  Plus, this procedure only takes one hour and can be done in just one appointment and you will then have long-term stabilization of your denture.  Currently there are a lot of mini dental implant systems on the market, but only the MDI is approved by the FDA for long-term use.  This is what is offered at both Bayside and Mid-Island dentistry offices.

Regardless as to which type of dental implants you choose, you should know that there are a lot of great benefits to them.  As was aforementioned, many patients are simply pleased with the the natural look and function of their new dental implants.  This is because they are just like natural teeth.  However, you should also know that dental implants are also sturdier and more secure than removable partials or dentures.  Therefore, you will not have to be afraid of slippage or suffer from discomfort whenever you have food particles under your denture.  Instead, with dental implants you can have a freedom that was not previously possible as you will also be able to eat anything that you want to eat.  Furthermore, caring for your dental implants is exactly like caring for your own natural teeth.  All you need to do is brush, floss and have regular dental check-ups.

If you are in New York, the the best thing for you to do would be to have a consultation with the skilled team at either Bayside or Mid-Island Dental Associates.  Such consultations are a complimentary service so that you can learn more about dental implants before you get them.  This is because it really is a good idea to talk about the procedure before you jump into it head first.
