What are dental implants?

Dental implants are a long-term solution for patients with missing or damaged teeth. They have three main components: the crown, abutment, and rods. Together, these three parts create a fully functioning, natural-looking tooth replacement.

There are more than one type of dental implants. This ensures that patients can choose options that suit their specific needs. Sometimes a patient may only need a single dental implant for a knocked out tooth resulting from an accident.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

Dental implants at Creative Dental of Syosset offer the following benefits:

• No tooth gaps
• Easier chewing
• Ability to speak more clearly
• Improved facial symmetry and contours
• Natural-looking teeth and smile
• Improved overall oral health

Dental implants remain strong, sturdy, and long-lasting when cared for correctly.

Which dental implants are available?

Creative Dental of Syosset offers various types of dental implants, including:

• Same-day tooth replacement
• All-on-4® dental implants  (zirconia bridge permanently attached and resting on 4 implants)
• All-on-6® dental implants (zirconia bridge permanently attached and resting on 4 implants)
• Single tooth replacement
• Multiple teeth replacement
• Full smile makeovers
• Full or partial dentures - SNAP ON Dentures
• Implant repair and replacement 

Dr. Mozner tailors each dental implant treatment based on your oral health history, desired outcome, and the results of your dental X-rays. He also takes a close look at your teeth and gums.

Some dental implants anchor crowns, while others support bridges or dentures. You may be able to receive new teeth on the same day as the dental implant placement.

If you have too little jawbone to support dental implants, you may first need a bone grafting procedure to increase bone growth.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

If you are considering dental implants, you must have damaged or missing teeth and a strong jawbone to support the implants. If not, bone grafting surgery might be required for you to become a dental implant candidate. You must also be a nonsmoker and exhibit good oral and overall health.

Dr. Tim Mozner and the staff are happy to discuss whether you are a candidate for dental implants and go through your options with you.
