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

I’ve never enjoyed going to the implant specialist this much. The staff is amazing, professional and personable. They all seem to genuinely like each other and this helps create a relaxing atmosphere. The equipment is the latest and greatest and Dr. Shahin is honest with oral surgery treatments and has presented me with all the options available. I used to live in Crown Heights, but I moved to Coney Island and still go here.

- Sean Mora

Brooklyn Dentist has been my go-to for my dental work for the past few years. It’s so great to find a dentist near Coney Island that you can trust and feel lots of comfort. The staff is very professional and Dr. Shahin is amazing. He is very attentive and explains everything in detail. He also makes sure you are comfortable and pain free throughout the implant procedure. I can’t say enough about this place!

- Christopher Torres

The front desk is always pleasant and helpful and that is a priority to me. I left my previous Coney Island dentist because the front desk was always rude. I deal with the front desk each time I call and visit. The hygienist is the oral surgeon and he is very thorough and gentle and gives me helpful tips to help improve my dental implant care. I also appreciate the minimal wait time. Yes, I strongly recommend Brooklyn Dentist.
