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:

Dr. Shahin is a very special dentist—if I could give him 10 stars, I would. He is meticulous in his work, genuinely cares about his patients, and is fair regarding dental implant prices and other aspects. His assistant is also wonderful and compassionate. The office is both pleasant and highly efficient and is near Manhattan Beach. I’ve been seeing Dr. Shahin for about 10 years and wouldn’t consider going to any other dentist for general dental care. In fact, our entire family is also under his care! Additionally, he has a delightful personality that complements his professional skills. For specialized procedures like implants, his recommendations are carefully chosen and excellent as well.

I recently visited Dr. Shahin and was a bit anxious since it had been quite a while since my last dental appointment. After having the same dentist for over 15 years, I had to switch due to a change in insurance. Unsure of which dentist to choose, I turned to Google for guidance and saw that Dr. Shahin and Brooklyn Dentist had numerous 5-star reviews, so I decided to give him a try. Given my long hiatus from the dentist, I was quite nervous. From the moment I called to schedule my appointment, I was impressed by how proactively they checked my insurance. The entire experience—getting the exam, x-rays, and cleaning—was excellent. The staff was fantastic, making me feel very comfortable. Dr. Shahin was not only informative but also exceptionally gentle. I’ll be returning in 6 months for my next cleaning and highly recommend Dr. Shahin’s dental implant services!
