Dental Implants in New York, NY

If you’ve lost one tooth or multiple teeth due to extensive decay, gum disease or facial trauma, we can provide you with the solution you need to restore your oral health in New York, NY. Since teeth can shift out of place after a tooth has been removed, and since teeth that shift are more susceptible to disease and decay, New York Dental Studio offers dental implants to both restore the beauty of your smile and improve your oral health. While bridges or dentures can also be used to replace missing teeth, these options either require work to healthy teeth or are not permanent fixtures in the mouth. Dental implants, on the other hand, look and feel natural.

 

The first step of the implant process is to implant a titanium screw in the jawbone. This screw serves as your replacement tooth root and keeps your jaw from deteriorating or changing shape. Once the screw is in place, your jaw is left to heal around the implant in a process called osseointegration—a process that can take three to six months to complete. During this healing, you will receive a temporary crown for easier speaking and eating.

When the implant has healed, Dr. Brandon Huang will install the abutment, which acts as the foundation upon which your permanent crown is placed. An impression is then taken of the area, and the permanent crown is custom made and adhered to the abutment to give you a new smile that looks and functions like your natural teeth.

With our help, you can achieve an attractive and complete smile with dental implants. Schedule a consultation by calling (212) 588-1809. For more information, please visit www.newyorkdentalstudio.com.

Bridges

Bridges

Missing teeth are unfortunately something many of our patients experience. There are many causes of missing teeth, such as trauma, decay that led to breaking down of the tooth, a tooth that was weakened after a root canal and broke off, or one that was extracted for one reason or another. It is important to get a tooth replaced, not just for cosmetic purposes. With a missing tooth, the patient is at risk of teeth shifting and bone loss.

 

Bridges are one of the options we at New York Dental Studio provide for missing teeth. It uses two crowns to cover the adjacent teeth, which are required to hold the bridge in place. A tooth called a pontic is made for the area of the missing tooth. The pontic and crown look as similar to natural teeth as possible, and made to match the shade of the patient’s other teeth. These are all bonded to the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth for the bridge. It lasts on average ten years for most of our patients.

 

It can take some time getting used to the bridges, but before too long, patients chew on it just like their other teeth. Call Dr. Brandon Huang at 212-588-1809 to schedule an appointment for bridges.
