Dental Implants in Port Jervis

Transform Your Smile with 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.

Understanding How 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.

Key Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants

The advantages of dental implants extend far beyond their aesthetic benefits. They offer a multitude of benefits that can significantly improve your quality of life:

• Natural Appearance and Feel: Dental implant crowns are meticulously crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile. Because they are anchored securely in your jaw, they also feel remarkably like natural teeth.
• Improved Chewing Ability: With dental implants, you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worry. The stable foundation they provide allows for strong and efficient chewing, unlike removable dentures that can slip or cause discomfort.
• Preservation of Jawbone Health: When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area can begin to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants, by mimicking a natural tooth root, stimulate the jawbone and help prevent this bone loss, maintaining your facial structure and preventing a "sunken" appearance.
• Enhanced Speech: Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures can affect your ability to speak clearly. Dental implants eliminate these issues, allowing you to speak with confidence and clarity.
• Durability and Longevity: With proper care and good oral hygiene, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a wise long-term investment in your oral health.
• No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges that require altering healthy adjacent teeth for support, dental implants are self-supporting, preserving the integrity of your natural teeth.

Discover the Advantages of Implant-Supported Dentures

If you are in need of significantly improving 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 it is needed or necessary.

Are You 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 friendly team, patients can discover if dental implants are the right solution to restore their smile and improve oral function.
