Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants – Manhattan / Greater New York City
If you are dissatisfied with your removable dental bridge or dentures, our office offers a potentially ideal solution: dental implants, the most durable method of tooth replacement currently available. The Practice of Dr. Peter Rubinstein provides exceptional dental implants services for patients in Manhattan, greater NYC, and areas surrounding New York City. Our team can help you decide whether dental implants are right for you, and plan your treatment accordingly.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is comprised of three parts: a titanium post, a metal ball attached to the post, and a rubber O-ring. The post is surgically inserted into the jawbone, where it functions as the root of the missing tooth. The metal ball rests on top of the gums, where it anchors the artificial tooth to the implant in ball-and-socket fashion. The O-ring sits between the ball and the gums to ensure optimal comfort. The entire apparatus anchors the artificial tooth or teeth, preventing shifting and sliding.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The benefits of dental implants are many. Since implant-supported restorations do not shift, patients can enjoy all of their favorite foods and laugh and talk with confidence. Moreover, implants do not cause many of the gum- and bone-health problems associated with tooth-supported restorations, since they do not place pressure on any of the remaining natural teeth. With proper maintenance, implants can last for decades or even a lifetime.
