At Dr. Carl Lovarata's office in Smithtown, NY, dental implants offer an excellent solution to restore your smile, boost your confidence, and enhance your oral health.
Overview of Dental Implants:
Dental implants serve as a robust foundation for replacement teeth like bridges, crowns, or dentures. Surgically placed into the jawbone, they act as artificial tooth roots.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Permanent Tooth Replacement: Unlike dentures or bridges, implants provide a long-term solution for missing teeth and, with proper care, can last a lifetime.
- Natural Look & Feel: Designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth, implants seamlessly blend with your existing teeth, creating a natural and aesthetic smile.
- Preservation of Jawbone & Facial Structure: Implants help preserve jawbone health, preventing deterioration over time and maintaining proper facial structure.
- Improved Speech & Chewing: Dental implants restore the ability to speak confidently and enjoy a variety of foods by addressing the impact of missing teeth on speech and chewing.
Our Implant Procedure:
- Comprehensive Consultation: Dr. Carl Lovarata evaluates your oral health during the initial visit to determine if dental implants are the right option for you.
- Dental Implant Placement: The precise placement of the titanium implant post into the jawbone is done using advanced techniques and local anesthesia for a comfortable procedure.
- Healing (Osseointegration): A healing period allows the implant to fuse with the jawbone, ensuring a strong foundation (osseointegration).
- Customized Restoration Options: Once integration is complete, our dentists attach a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture to the implant, designed to match the appearance of natural teeth.
- Follow-Up: Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor dental implants and ensure proper oral hygiene is maintained.
