Port Jervis Dental Implants
Advanced Cosmetic & Restorative Dentistry
Dental implants are assured of giving you results that last a long time, with the most amount of comfort. They are also crucial in preserving the bone in your jawline, which then supports the rest of your teeth. Normally, this bone deteriorates when you lose your teeth, decreasing the entire stability of your mouth. However, implants are amazing at safeguarding this bone, leading your mouth to be better protected overall.

How Do Dental Implants Work?
The steps of receiving your dental implant at Aesthetic Family Dentistry may involve the following:
- An examination to obtain x-rays and models of your teeth and mouth as reference points for the procedure.
- Extracting the damaged tooth, followed by a small incision into the gum. Afterward, a small hole is made in the jawbone where the implant is to be placed. An abutment is then screwed onto the implant, on which a temporary, artificial tooth is placed.
- This temporary tooth will then get stitched up with dissolvable stitches and stay in place until the permanent tooth is available.
- After the surgery, you will follow up with us in a few days. You will be encouraged to stay on a soft food diet for several weeks and to refrain from caffeine or tobacco consumption.
- Once the implant site has finished healing and the implants have completely stabilized, the temporary teeth are removed and replaced with your new set of teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
If you are in need to significantly improve the overall look and ability to speak and chew, these dentures are much sturdier and do not require any type of adhesive. They are also removable allowing patients to easily remove them whenever is needed or necessary. For more information about our dental implants, as well as our implant-supported dentures, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Aesthetic Family Dentistry considers several factors when determining a good candidate for dental implants. Generally, individuals with missing teeth or those who require tooth extraction due to decay, injury, or other reasons can be suitable candidates. Good oral health, including healthy gums and sufficient bone density, is important to support the implant. Candidates should have a commitment to maintaining proper oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups.
Aesthetic Family Dentistry assesses each patient's medical history and conducts thorough examinations to ensure they are eligible for the procedure. By consulting with our experienced team, patients can discover if dental implants are the right solution to restore their smile and improve oral function.
How Do I Care For Dental Implants?
Preventative dentistry is an essential part of caring for your dental implants. Brush at least twice a day with a toothbrush that has soft bristles. It is also important to floss regularly in order to clean hard-to-reach places on or around your teeth. Avoid eating hard foods that could potentially damage your dental implants.
