Modern Dental Implants
for Patients Across the Albany, NY Area
Dental implants are synthetic implant structures that are inserted in the mouth in place of where the tooth’s root normally would have been. Dental implants are then anchored in the jawbone and are the foundation for the artificial tooth or in other cases, a dental bridge. In some cases, dental implants can even be used to attach dentures as well.
Not every patient may be a candidate for a dental implant, however. A potential dental implant candidate must have the proper bone density and have a strong immune system for the implant to be completely successful. Dental implants require strict dental care and hygiene, no matter the patient.
Dental implants are generally made of a synthetic and biocompatible material like titanium. They are designed so well that they truly mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth.

Oral surgery is a necessary step in order to prepare the mouth to accept the dental implant. Following the procedure, there is a period of time that is required for the dental implant to take hold in the mouth and for bone tissue to build up and anchor the implant within the mouth.
Due to the fact that dental implants require oral surgery, patients are administered dental sedation. This will not only eliminate any pain you may have otherwise felt, but it will also ease and dental fear or anxiety you may be experiencing. Antibiotics may be given to help ward off any infections following the procedure.
Like any dental restoration procedure, dental implants require special, strict and daily oral hygiene and proper care. This will ensure that your dental implants will last over a long period of time.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a practical, long term solution to tooth replacement. Dental implants tend to last a patient for the duration of their life, and the procedure itself has a very high success rate. Structurally, dental implants are very sound and do not require additional support from surrounding teeth. Call The Smile Zone today in Albany, NY to meet with our cosmetic dentist!
