Dental Implants in Lake Success

Dental implants are an innovative, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. At ProHEALTH Dental in Lake Success, we specialize in providing personalized dental implant treatments that restore both the functionality and appearance of your smile. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch, dental implants offer a durable, natural-looking alternative to traditional tooth replacement options.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants consist of three components: a titanium post, an abutment, and a custom crown. The titanium post acts as an artificial tooth root, securely anchored into your jawbone. Over time, it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation. The abutment connects the post to the crown, which is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

At ProHEALTH Dental, we provide a variety of dental implant options to suit different needs:

• Single-Tooth Implants: Replace one missing tooth with a custom crown.
• Implant-Supported Bridges: Replace multiple adjacent teeth using fewer implants.
• Full-Mouth Implants: Replace a full arch of teeth with just four strategically placed implants.
• Implant Overdentures: Secure dentures in place with implants for added stability.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are favored for their numerous advantages over other restorative options, such as bridges or dentures. These advantages include:

• Durability: Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
• Natural Look and Feel: Implants closely mimic the appearance and functionality of natural teeth, offering full chewing power.
• Preservation of Bone Health: Unlike dentures, implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
• Stability for Adjacent Teeth: Implants keep neighboring teeth from shifting into gaps, preserving your bite alignment.

Who Should Consider Dental Implants?

Dental implants are ideal for individuals who:

• Are missing one or more teeth
• Have loose or ill-fitting dentures
• Want a permanent alternative to bridges or dentures
• Have sufficient jawbone density to support an implant or are willing to undergo a bone graft if needed

During your consultation, our experienced dental team will evaluate your oral health, jawbone condition, and overall health to determine if implants are the right solution for you.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The dental implant process typically involves several stages:

1. Initial Consultation: Our team will assess your oral health, take digital scans, and create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically inserted into your jawbone under local anesthesia.
3. Healing Period: Over a few months, the implant fuses with your jawbone.
4. Abutment Placement: The abutment is attached to the implant.
5. Crown Placement: A custom-designed crown is secured to the abutment, completing your new tooth.

How to Care for Dental Implants

Caring for dental implants is as simple as maintaining your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and visit your dentist for routine checkups and cleanings. Proper oral hygiene will ensure the longevity of your implants and the health of surrounding teeth and gums.
