Millions of people in the United States suffer from tooth loss due to tooth decay, tooth injury or gum problems. In the past, the only options available to treat missing teeth were bridges and dentures. Fixed dental bridges worked as a viable option to replace one or two teeth. This method involved grinding down the neighboring natural teeth to connect them to the replacement tooth. Although this step in the bridge-making procedure functioned well, patients’ complaints included their teeth being prone to decay, plaque accumulation, bacterial infections and periodontal disease.
For larger toothless areas, when all the teeth from top and bottom were lost, the only option available in the past was a full set of dentures. While conventional dentures supported facial muscles and restored the smile, they came with several disadvantages including slipping and sliding, gum irritation, chewing issues, debilitated talking ability and more.

With dental implants, titanium posts are inserted into your bone and they act like the roots of your teeth. The titanium posts are surgically embedded in the jaw and merge with the natural bone tissue through a process called osseointegration. The posts become part of the patient’s natural anatomy, providing stability to the healthy tooth roots. Custom designed teeth are then attached to the implants using abutments. Depending on the individual needs of the patient, dentists and surgeons may suggest the following after an in-depth consultation:
Single stage dental implants are an advanced dental implant procedure that allow our dentists and dental implants NY periodontist, to place the implants in one visit. With one stage dental implant surgery, the patient doesn’t need to undergo a secondary surgical procedure. In certain scenarios, the artificial teeth can be fixed to the implant in the same sitting.
Implants are effective because they use a titanium post to mimic tooth roots, as a sturdy base for a restorative crown. The titanium implant fuses to the bone during osseointegration. It creates a strong and durable base, which means implants will not slip or move around. Dental implants are long-term solutions that blend in with natural teeth and restore function back into your bite. Patients are able to speak and eat without limitations and maintain their quality of life.
A single prosthesis (crown) is used to replace one missing tooth. Usually, each prosthetic tooth gets attached to its own implant. To replace two or more teeth, a partial prosthesis (fixed bridge) is used. If you are looking for a single tooth prosthesis or other types of Dental Implant Treatments in New Hyde Park, Long Island NY is a great place to be, as that is where our office is conveniently located. To replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw, a complete dental prosthesis (fixed or removable bridge) serves the purpose. A fixed prosthesis is screwed down and is permanently fixed with the implant. This is only removable by the dentist whereas a removable complete prostheses (overdenture) is attached to a bar or ball/socket attachment. The variation in the number of implants is dependent upon the type of prostheses recommended.
With freestanding dental implant supported bridges, the fixed restorations are placed in areas not bounded by natural teeth, which had removable partial dentures before the “osseointegration”. An overdenture is a full or partial denture that is altered to attach to dental implants. Patients with sufficient bone density can get overdentures with two or more implants placed on the dentures. After the implants heal, the dentures are clipped to the implants. With overdentures, the dentures do not put any pressure on gums; instead, the implants take the pressure off the dentures, omitting the need to use adhesives.
Fixed implant bridges are best suited for people with several missing teeth. When replacing overdentures, normally around six or more implants are placed in the upper and the lower jaw. Each implant works as an anchor for a dental bridge. A crown is placed over each dental implant and fabricated tooth or a pontic is connected in between the crowns. Overdentures and fixed implant bridges require regular dental checkups to measure the density of the jaw and ensure dental implants stay strong. Fixed detachable prostheses allow for easier hygiene underneath them, but cannot be removed by the patient as the teeth are held by screws placed into the implants. Only the dentists can remove them and this is done periodically for cleanings.
