When patients ask us what their options are for replacing missing teeth and other tooth loss concerns, dental implants are almost always at the center of the discussion. Why? Because dental implants are the closest thing to your natural teeth. Once an implant is fully healed it looks and functions just like your natural teeth.
Replacing a missing tooth is about more than just cosmetic dentistry. Your implant surgery requires a thorough investigation of your health. A number of factors affect whether you are a good candidate for a dental implant procedure. Periodontal disease, gum tissue, and bone loss are conditions that can affect your qualification for dental implants.
Of course, there are options for patients who have gum tissue or bone loss problems. A bone or gum tissue graft may provide the necessary stability for implant placement. To replace missing teeth with implants, your need stability and good oral health. For patients with complex oral issues, dentures or implant-supported dentures may be a better alternative.
The difference between dentures and dental implants
There are significant differences between dentures and dental implants. It’s hard to beat the convenience and durability of dental implants but if your goal is a full set of replacement teeth, there are factors to consider. Cost is one of them. Dental implants are generally more costly than dentures but dentures need to be replaced every few years. Dental implants by contrast are long lasting.
Advancements in denture technology have dramatically increased their function and comfort. Still, you will grapple with fit from time to time and they may limit what you can eat. They also need to be cleaned regularly and are removable, unlike implants which are permanent. Dentures must rely on the health and sturdiness of your adjacent teeth or tooth implants to remain in place.
Dental Implants are comfortable and versatile
Implants are more like real teeth in that they are fastened to your jaw bone. Just like your regular teeth, dental implants need to be kept clean and free of food and debris. Regular flossing and brushing is essential. A common problem with a removable denture is it can increase the risk of developing cavities and infection.
Depending on your overall dental health, dentures may be your only option. Implant dentistry involves assessment of your jaw bone, facial structure, lower and upper teeth, and tooth loss. Bone loss or periodontal disease can disqualify you as a recipient for even a single tooth implant.
Our New York City dental office can help you with affordable dental implants, traditional dental implants, a single tooth replacement, two implants, or the permanent replacement of one or more teeth. We can even install a temporary tooth while you are waiting for your prosthetic.

Missing teeth cause problems
Our experts will tell you, missing teeth can cause infection and other undesirable oral problems. A missing tooth leaves behind an empty socket that is prone to bacterial invasion. Dental implants and implant supported dentures keep your teeth from drifting out of place. Shifting teeth can cause uneven wear to tooth enamel which can lead to pain. They can also affect your adjacent teeth and bite alignment.
Our NYC dental implants dentist will assess your missing tooth and your remaining teeth to determine if dental implants are the permanent solution for you.

Do I need to see a dental implant specialist for my procedure?
Sometimes specialists are required to plan and execute your dental implant surgery. For instance, you may want a board certified periodontist to be involved. Ultimately, the dental expert you engage will be dictated by your wants and needs. It’s possible the services of a periodontist or an oral surgeon may be required to assist in your dental implant procedure.
If your dental implant surgery is less complex, you may be comfortable with a regular or cosmetic dentist to complete the procedure. The cost of your implants depends in part on the level of expertise and training of the professional performing the procedure.
