What Is a Dental Implant — And What Does It Do?
Simply stated, an implant is a tiny, discreet post placed in your jaw and gums. They are made from safe and durable materials, like titanium.
Once it has been secured and the area has healed, then your dental implant can connect an abutment and custom restoration into place to restore your smile. Our New York team commonly uses dental implants to fill both small and substantial spaces in our patients' smiles after they lose natural teeth.
Implants Protect Bone Health
/
Dental implants don't just improve your appearance and function — they also improve your health. Often, bone loss follows tooth loss, because your jaw lacks the stimulation normally offered by tooth roots. Traditional dentures and bridges can't prevent this problem — but an implant-supported restoration from our dental team can.
Implants Are Just One Component Of a Four-Part Solution
The reason why implants are so effective is that they work in harmony with three other components to form a lasting solution. Implants are bolstered by:
Abutments
To secure your implant to your restoration, we'll need to place a connector piece called an abutment. Both your dental implant and abutment will be completely hidden by your final restoration.
Restoration
Whether you need a crown, a denture, or a bridge to complete your smile, our Manhattan, NY, dentists are here to help. We offer custom dental restorations designed with your specific features and needs in mind.
You
You contribute directly to your final dental results. How? Each implant must undergo a process called osseointegration, where your gum and jawbone fuse the implant into place. This provides the implant with unmatched stability.
Put Yourself First And Choose Manhattan Dental Practices
When you need implants, it's important to find a team that invests in techniques, technology, and training. Manhattan Dental Practices stands out from other New York offices with:

Missing a Tooth
Some of our New York patients are missing one tooth, while others are missing all their natural teeth. Regardless of your situation, our nonjudgmental team may be able to help by offering tooth extraction for any teeth that are beyond repair.
Having Enough Bone
Your titanium implant will need a certain amount of bone material in order to fuse into place. If you don't have enough bone in your jaw, we may need to perform bone grafting to make you eligible for dental implants.
Having Healthy Gums
The health of your gums is crucial to the success of your implant. Rest assured, we won't place your dental implant unless we're sure that your gums are in the right shape for dental treatment.
