Complete Your Smile

What are Dental Implants?

Put simply, dental implants are the best way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium posts that are placed directly into the jawbone to support a variety of restorations, like crowns, bridges, and even full-arch replacements. At Eastside Dentistry NYC, our team is led by Dr. Kailash Kaur, who specializes in providing top-notch dental implants and restorations that look and feel just like natural teeth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Improve Your Oral Health

Unlike dentures, which can promote gum irritation and receding bone, dental implants help maintain healthy bone and gum tissue. They can also make it easier to brush and floss around teeth, leading to better overall oral health.

Long-Lasting Solution

Dental implants offer a more permanent solution to tooth loss compared to other treatments, like bridges or dentures. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a worthwhile investment.

Enhanced Quality Of Life

Dental implants can restore the function of missing teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They also look and feel like natural teeth, so you can enjoy the benefits of having a complete smile that looks and feels like the real thing.

F.A.Q

  • Dental implants are a tooth replacement option that are specifically designed to mimic the form and function of your natural teeth, all the way down to the root. They are made of a screw-shaped titanium post that is placed directly into the jaw, and attached to a custom-made crown or other restoration via an abutment. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are permanent and do not require any additional maintenance beyond keeping up with your brushing and flossing routine and attending regular check-ups.

  • While dental implants are generally considered to be a safe and effective tooth replacement option, there are some potential risks and complications to be aware of. These can include issues like infection, implant failure, nerve damage, and damage to the surrounding teeth or tissues. However, these risks can be minimized with proper planning, placement, and maintenance of the implants, which is why it is so important to work with a qualified and experienced dental professional, like Dr. Kaur, throughout the entire process.
