Since you didn\u2019t have insurance at the time, and you didn\u2019t want to get a partial denture anyway, you dealt with the missing tooth as best as you could. Now, you\u2019re considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gellerdentistry.com\/dental-implant-services.html\">dental implants<\/a> in Larchmont Village, but you\u2019re not completely sure how the process works. Luckily for you, the trusted experts at Geller Dentistry share the answers you need when it comes to replacing one, two or 10 missing teeth with implants.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How Do I Get Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Benjamin Geller and Dr. Gloria Garcia-Geller will first meet with you to complete a thorough examination and make sure you are a good candidate for dental implants. Once you discuss the results you\u2019d like to achieve, you\u2019ll go through the following process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The titanium implant post will be surgically placed in your jaw, ensuring a secure foundation for the rest of the replacement tooth.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll need time to heal and to allow for your jawbone to fuse with the artificial tooth root during a process called <a href=\"https:\/\/osseo.org\/learn-about-dental-implants\/\">osseointegration<\/a>. Generally, this takes about 3-6 months.<\/li>\n<li>After the bone and post are strong enough, your dentist in Larchmont Village will affix the abutment to the implant. This piece acts as the connector between the titanium post and the tooth-shaped \u201ccap.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The dental crown, which looks and functions like the rest of your teeth, will then be secured to the abutment. You can say goodbye to the gaps in your smile at this point, since the process will be complete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Are Dental Implants Better Than Dentures?<\/h2>\n<p>Implants are the gold-standard treatment for replacement teeth. They\u2019re superior to traditional dentures and bridges for many reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Jawbone Strength<\/u> \u2013 Dental implants actually increase the density of the jawbone, rather than causing it to wear away like dentures and bridges do.<\/li>\n<li><u>Longevity<\/u> \u2013 Dental implants last longer than traditional dentures and dental bridges.<\/li>\n<li><u>Appearance <\/u>\u2013 These replacement teeth will blend right in with your existing dentitions \u2013 no one will ever be able to tell that you have a false tooth.<\/li>\n<li><u>Cost<\/u> \u2013 Although other prosthetic teeth options may be less expensive for up-front costs, dental implants actually save you money over the course of a lifetime, since you\u2019ll rarely need to replace an implant.<\/li>\n<li><u>Stay-Put Smile<\/u> \u2013 You\u2019ll be able to speak, chew, and even kiss without embarrassing slipping and sliding from dentures. You\u2019ll never have to worry about messy dental adhesive, restricting foods from your diet, or putting your teeth in a cup at night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know what to expect for dental implants and how they can benefit you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gellerdentistry.com\/contact-us.html\">schedule your appointment<\/a> with Geller Dentistry and make your smile radiant again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, you had a run-in with an almond that was harder than you expected \u2013 the superfood won and you ended up losing a tooth on the side of your mouth.
