All-on-4 dental implants offer a practical resolution for completely missing teeth. The clinical procedure is crafted to fully utilize the bone and reduce the need for sinus lifts or nerve relocation, saving patients time and money. Missing teeth can have significant consequences for your self-esteem, facial shape, and oral function. A consultation in our NYC center can determine if you are a candidate for all on 4 manhattan dental implants.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium structures that fuse to the jawbone on one end and support a prosthetic crown on the other end. They look, feel, and behave very much like natural teeth. They also help preserve the shape of your face, and can even prevent bone loss in the jaw.
During the initial procedure, your surgeon will open the gum tissue and expose the bone. They will then use a series of drills to create and gradually widen an area for the implant site. They will then place the implant, which looks like a screw or cylinder. The surgeon will then close the incision.
Good candidates for dental implants have a healthy mouth with no active infections or gum disease. They should also have enough bone in the jaw to support the implant. Chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and long-term steroid therapy can slow or prevent bone healing and compromise the success of an implant.
Teeth in One Day
Unlike traditional dental implants that require a lengthy healing process, the Teeth-in-a-Day implant treatment offers immediate restorations. This means you can walk out of our office with new functional teeth.
During a consultation, we will evaluate your health and jawbone density to determine if you are a candidate for the treatment. We can restore both the upper and lower arch of your teeth at once. This is ideal for patients who are missing most or all of their natural teeth in one or both arches.
We place four strategically positioned implants per arch to maximize bone use without the need for grafts. We also attach a set of temporary teeth, giving you full functionality while you heal.
Once your implants have fully bonded to the jawbone, we will replace them with custom permanent teeth that are designed to blend in naturally. With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups at our NYC clinic, your implants can last for the rest of your life.
Natural-Looking Teeth
We all know that a smile with healthy, natural-looking teeth is more than just beautiful; it’s also functional. Your teeth are uniquely designed to help you bite and chew food, which breaks it down into smaller pieces to aid in digestion. Replacing your damaged or missing teeth with a tooth-replacement option that looks like a natural tooth is crucial to restoring your health and happiness. With innovations in dental technology, tooth replacement options now look more realistic than ever before.
Dental veneers are wafer-thin, tooth-colored shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. Our Manhattan cosmetic dentist can discuss the pros and cons of porcelain veneers and Lumineers with you to determine which option is right for your smile goals.
