Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants in Monticello, NY
Missing a tooth, or several? Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that can help you smile, eat, and speak with confidence again. At Berson Family Dentistry, we’re proud to offer dental implants right here in Monticello, NY. If you’re curious about how they work and whether they’re right for you, we’re here to walk you through it.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small post, usually made from titanium, that we gently place into your jawbone. Over time, it bonds with the bone, creating a strong, secure foundation for a replacement tooth (like a crown, bridge, or denture). It’s designed to feel and function just like your natural tooth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Compared to traditional dentures or bridges, implants offer a number of unique advantages:
- Help you chew your favorite foods with ease
- Allow you to speak clearly and comfortably
- Restore your natural smile
- Prevent bone loss in the jaw
- Keep nearby teeth stable and properly aligned
- Offer a long-term (often permanent) solution
What’s the Process Like?
Getting dental implants is a step-by-step process, and we’re with you every step of the way. First, we place the implant post into your jawbone. Over the next few months, your bone naturally fuses with it creating a secure anchor. Once everything has healed, we attach a small connector (called an abutment) and then top it off with a beautiful, custom-made crown.
Everyone’s treatment plan is unique, so we’ll tailor the process to fit your specific needs.
Types of Dental Implants We Offer
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to tooth replacement. That’s why we provide several implant options:
- Single-tooth implants – Perfect for replacing just one tooth
- Multiple-tooth implants – Ideal for restoring a few missing teeth
- Full-mouth implants – A full smile makeover
- All-on-4 implants – Fewer posts, faster results
- Implant-supported bridges – For replacing several teeth in a row
- Zygomatic implants – Specially designed for patients with significant bone loss
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Many people are! We’ll evaluate your overall health, oral hygiene, and bone density to determine if implants are the best fit for you. In some cases, patients may need a bone graft beforehand to ensure the implant has a strong foundation. We’ll review everything in detail and answer any questions you have.
