Your Solution to a Healthier, More Confident Smile
At ProHEALTH Dental in Oceanside, NY, we believe that everyone deserves a healthy and confident smile. Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring both function and aesthetics. If you're considering dental implants, here’s everything you need to know about this transformative procedure.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a crown is attached to create a strong, natural-looking replacement tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are a permanent solution that closely mimics the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. They allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence without worrying about slipping or discomfort.
Dental Implants: A Foundation for Optimal Oral Health & Overall Well-being
Here's how dental implants can benefit your oral health and overall well-being:
- Improved Chewing and Eating: Dental implants restore your ability to chew and eat comfortably, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods.
- Enhanced Speech: Missing teeth can affect your speech clarity. Dental implants can help improve your pronunciation and confidence in speaking.
- Boosted Self-Esteem: A complete and beautiful smile can significantly boost your self-esteem and confidence.
- Preserved Jawbone: When a tooth is lost, the jawbone can begin to deteriorate. Dental implants help stimulate bone growth and preserve the structure of your face.
- Long-Term Durability: Dental implants are designed to last for many years, often a lifetime, with proper care.
If you're missing teeth, dental implants may be the right solution for you. Consult with ProHEALTH Dental to discuss your options and determine if dental implants are a suitable choice for your situation.
Who Can Get Dental Implants?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth can be good candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates should have:
- Good oral health: Healthy gums and adequate bone density are essential for successful implant placement.
- No underlying health conditions: Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking habits can affect healing and implant success.
- Commitment to oral hygiene: Good oral care practices are crucial to ensure the longevity of the implants.
Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, you may still be eligible for dental implants with bone grafting procedures. A consultation with our skilled dental team will determine if dental implants are right for you.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
One of the biggest advantages of dental implants is their longevity. With proper care, dental implants can last 15 to 25 years, and in many cases, a lifetime. Unlike other tooth replacement options that may need to be replaced after 10 years, dental implants are a long-term investment in your oral health. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene habits will help prolong the lifespan of your implants.
What Is the Cost of Dental Implants?
The cost of dental implants varies based on individual cases and the complexity of the procedure. Factors such as the number of implants needed, the need for bone grafting, and the type of materials used all impact the final cost. At ProHEALTH Dental, we offer flexible payment plans and work with many insurance providers to help make dental implants accessible and affordable for our patients.
