Are you missing teeth in South Huntington, New York? Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. Anchored in the jawbone, dental implants from All City Cosmetic Dental Care offer optimal stability when eating, smiling, or talking, just like natural teeth.
Indeed, dental implants are the next best thing to your natural teeth. But how many teeth can you have on implants? Good question! Dr. Boris Yusupov and his team at All City Cosmetic Dental Care are here to answer frequently asked questions from new and returning patients, including whether dental implants only replace a single tooth or can restore an entire smile.
A dental implant replaces the entire natural tooth from the root up. The implant itself is a titanium post that is surgically inserted in the jawbone. Since an implant remains buried beneath the gum line, we usually attach an abutment (metal connector) that adds height to the implant and links it with the final restoration.
When all the components of a dental implant are pieced together, the implant looks and functions like natural teeth. This way, you can smile, eat, and speak like you never lost teeth!
Tooth loss rarely happens predictably. You can lose one or multiple teeth because of injury, genetics, decay, and gum disease. The good news is that you don’t have to face life without teeth. Dental implants are considered the perfect solution for tooth loss and restoring your smile, confidence, and quality of life.
Dental implants are common for replacing a single tooth, but can they restore an entire arch of teeth? Absolutely! Dental implants offer a solution for any number of missing teeth in the mouth. However, while it is technically possible to have an implant for every lost tooth, such an approach is not practical due to its extensive nature and associated high costs.
We can replace an entire arch of missing teeth with as few as four to six implants strategically inserted per jaw. Once the dentist attaches a fixed appliance to the implants, your restoration will look, function, and feel like natural teeth.
A gap in your smile can affect how you look, talk, smile, and eat. With dental implants, you no longer have to take on the world with unwanted mouth gaps.
