What to Expect When You Get Dental Implants

If you want to know what to expect when you get Brooklyn dental implants from Park Slope Dentistry, we suggest this simple thought exercise. Picture yourself looking in the mirror and admiring your dazzling new smile with a full set of brilliant and healthy teeth.

Dental implants are among our many services, and we’ve created this blog post to give you some insight regarding the entire process. Let’s look at what an implant is to start. It’s a small titanium screw that’s implanted in your jawbone. It acts as a root, holding the abutment and crown (the new tooth) in place.

When you come to our clinic, we will assess if you’re a good candidate for the procedure based on your overall health, gum health, bone tissue, and commitment to oral hygiene. Once we proceed, we’ll use local anesthesia and carefully place the implant. Following a four- to six-month healing period (during which you will have a healing cap placed on the implant), you will return for an impression of the implant.

Finally, you will return two weeks later so we can place the abutment and crown and return your smile to its healthy appearance. In Brooklyn, dental implants are a sure way to a stellar smile.
