Can I Replace a Missing Tooth?
A missing tooth no longer means having to walk around with a gap in your mouth. If you have one or more missing teeth, consider dental implants in Elmhurst, NY. This type of treatment replaces a missing tooth all the way to the root. As long as you take care of these implants, they will last for decades or a lifetime.
What Is The Procedure To Replace a Missing Tooth?
When you come to our office for a consultation, our staff will take X-rays and examine your gums and jawbone. If your jaw bone is healthy, we will take impressions to craft the implant device. During surgery, we will insert titanium implants into drilled holes in your jaw bone. Eventually, the implants will meld into your jaw bone.
Several weeks later, we will attach a post to the implant. Then we will attach a crown to that post. Our dentists can do this for one or more missing teeth. We can replace your entire set of teeth if needed.
How Can I Care For a Replaced Tooth?
Once you have your new dental implant(s), you must take proper care of your fake tooth. You don’t have to worry about the crown decaying like a natural tooth. However, you must brush and floss daily to keep the gums and overall mouth area clean. The last thing you want is gum disease due to poor dental hygiene. Plaque and tartar can build up near the implant area and cause problems.
