Missing teeth can affect more than your smile; when we have missing teeth, other complications occur, such as biting difficulties and affected speech. Dental implants offer a long-lasting, predictable solution to tooth loss by providing an anchor for new teeth. At Brooklyn Dental Spa, we perform dental implants in Brooklyn NY for patients who are searching for a beautiful and functional smile.

What Is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are the result of significant advancements in dental research. Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed in the bone in place of the tooth's natural root. This post is fitted with an abutment, onto which new crowns and bridges or dentures are fixed. Dental implants can also function as a stable anchor for permanent dentures and are known for their retention and ability to nurture good oral health.

Who is Qualified to Get Dental Implants?

To get dental implants in Brooklyn, you should be in otherwise good dental health. Signs of periodontitis or bone loss from missing teeth should be discussed with our dentists before your treatment plan can be put into action. Patients who are considering getting dental implants should also be non-smokers, as tobacco use prevents your body from healing after the surgical placement of dental implants.

What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

Esthetics

You may have noticed that people who are missing multiple adjacent teeth develop a kind of depleted or sunken-in look. This problem is caused by diminishing jaw bone density. Dental implants prevent premature aging and a sunken appearance by stimulating the jawbone and filling out your smile.

Function

Dental implants allow new dentures and dental crowns to behave like real teeth. Our patients discover they are able to chew, bite, and speak as they normally would, without having to worry about the inconveniences normally associated with traditional removable prostheses or less permanent restorations. Because the alloys used in dental implant treatment are durable and resilient, Brooklyn patients can enjoy their strong new smiles forever.

Stability

The titanium dental implant fuses to the bone through a process known as osseointegration. Posts become part of the jawbone, so when new restorations are fitted onto the dental implants, they cannot move around, or slip. This reinforces the strength of your new teeth, as well as healthy bone retention.

What Are Different Types of Dental Implants?

There are multiple types of dental implant restorations available in Brooklyn depending on the patient's expectations and resources. Here are a few popular options:

Patient Testimonials

This was my first visit to Brooklyn Dentist. It was easy to get an appointment, I would’ve waited if I had to. The receptionist, assistant, and Dr. Shahin were all kind and made me feel the comfort right away. For the first time in a dentist office, I felt seen and listened to. I have had some negative experiences but now I feel I found the practice that will truly care for me. And not make mistakes like the first implant dentist I saw in manhattan. I also am happy to have clear and concise information from Dr. Shahin.

We were patients at Brooklyn Dentist for many, many years, we just moved out of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn and had to find a new dentist. This task is daunting. Dr. Shahin has been an amazing gum surgeon over the years. From our first visit he went out of his way to put us at ease. He truly practices pain free dentistry. The doctor & entire staff are wonderful and they will be missed.

The coolest and most talented dentist ever! He helped me with cutting my tooth on a popcorn kernel. He then shaved my tooth to help make sure I didnt cut myself and he didn’t charge me! Hooked! :-) Since then, he’s taken a wisdom tooth out, replaced another missing tooth and made jokes with me. I love that a dentist can smile and laugh with patients. Thank you for all you do, Dr. Shahin. You’re the best implant specialist near Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.
