Missing teeth can affect more than your smile; when we have missing teeth, other complications occur, such as biting difficulties and affected speech. Dental implants offer a long-lasting, predictable solution to tooth loss by providing an anchor for new teeth. At Brooklyn Dental Spa, we perform dental implants in Brooklyn NY for patients who are searching for a beautiful and functional smile.

What Is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are the result of significant advancements in dental research. Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed in the bone in place of the tooth's natural root. This post is fitted with an abutment, onto which new crowns and bridges or dentures are fixed. Dental implants can also function as a stable anchor for permanent dentures and are known for their retention and ability to nurture good oral health.

Who is Qualified to Get Dental Implants?

To get dental implants in Brooklyn, you should be in otherwise good dental health. Signs of periodontitis or bone loss from missing teeth should be discussed with our dentists before your treatment plan can be put into action. Patients who are considering getting dental implants should also be non-smokers, as tobacco use prevents your body from healing after the surgical placement of dental implants.

What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

Esthetics

You may have noticed that people who are missing multiple adjacent teeth develop a kind of depleted or sunken-in look. This problem is caused by diminishing jaw bone density. Dental implants prevent premature aging and a sunken appearance by stimulating the jawbone and filling out your smile.

Function

Dental implants allow new dentures and dental crowns to behave like real teeth. Our patients discover they are able to chew, bite, and speak as they normally would, without having to worry about the inconveniences normally associated with traditional removable prostheses or less permanent restorations. Because the alloys used in dental implant treatment are durable and resilient, Brooklyn patients can enjoy their strong new smiles forever.

Stability

The titanium dental implant fuses to the bone through a process known as osseointegration. Posts become part of the jawbone, so when new restorations are fitted onto the dental implants, they cannot move around, or slip. This reinforces the strength of your new teeth, as well as healthy bone retention.

What Are Different Types of Dental Implants?

There are multiple types of dental implant restorations available in Brooklyn depending on the patient's expectations and resources. Here are a few popular options:

Patient Testimonials

My first time here I showed up 5 minutes late due to the rain and the gem at the front desk, took me right in. Dr. Shahin did my tooth cleaning very thoroughly and was really nice. Queen was my assistant and was funny and sweet and reassured me since this is my first cleaning post COVID. I highly recommend and will be returning to Brooklyn Dentist!

I’m writing a positive review after getting my tooth pulled! Can you believe it?! Dr. Shahin’s common sense approach to dental care is something I’ve appreciated for the past 5 years as his patient even after I moved from Crown Heights to Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. He is a true expert in his field and has a team of experts that assist him. I appreciate each person at this office for their kindness and skill. We are planning my dental implants to replace the tooth I just had removed, and I feel confident that it will go smoothly as I trust Dr. Shahin.

My husband goes here as well as I wouldn't let him stay with a previous dentist in Bedford-Stuyvesant that was all about their bottom line regardless of what is in the best interest of the patient. I highly recommend this office for your family dental care. We are both happy to be clients of Dr. Shahin! I don’t need to be scared into services (e.g. dental implants) I don’t need it for the sake of making money. I was looking for a skilled dentist that doesn’t take advantage. I wanted a dentist that cares about the health of my teeth and is friendly and welcoming. I found him in Brooklyn Dentist. My dental health has been under his care for several years now. I have a gum issue with a capped tooth and I can say it’s feeling better than ever. My husband goes here because I stopped him from going to his previous dentist that only cared about his bottom line. I highly recommend this office and we’re both happy clients of Dr. Shahin.
