If you have severely damaged, extracted, or lost teeth, the best smile restoration option available is a dental implant. Dental implants are a permanent way to restore your smile with a prosthetic that matches the look and feel of your natural teeth. Dr. Brandon Huang wants to make sure that all of his New York, NY patients are confident with their restorative choice. Dr. Huang is happy to clear up any misconceptions and explain all of the benefits that dental implants have to offer.
The most common thing that patients want to know about dental implants is the process by which they are installed. Dental implants provide patients with a permanent and stable solution that is placed directly into the jaw bone. As the jaw heals, it surrounds the implant cylinder, creating the real-feel of a naturally rooted tooth. The result is a secure and long-lasting solution that also provides patients with a restoration that matches the shade and texture of the rest of their smile. On the surface, the custom created tooth is nearly indistinguishable from your other teeth. The entire dental implant process is completed over several months, as the implant needs time to fully heal, but the result is smile restorative that can last a lifetime.
Patients also want to know how dental implants are going to benefit their smile. While dental implants are an investment, proper care can make sure they stay secure and beautiful throughout your life. They don’t cause pain or discomfort, nor do they require a change in your diet or oral cleaning habits. As dental implants replace gaps or damaged teeth, they also reduce a patient’s risk of periodontal disease, jaw misalignment and other associated health issues that are often linked with damaged, extracted, or lost teeth. If you are in need of a tooth prosthetic and you want to improve your smile and confidence--while reducing your risk of periodontal disease, visit Dr. Brandon Huang to find out more about how dental implants can benefit you.
