At Parsons Smile Center in Queens, NY, we understand the profound impact that missing teeth can have on your self-esteem and overall oral health. Under the expert care of Dr. Fady Salha, our dental implant services provide a long-lasting and effective solution for restoring your smile. Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants can help you regain your confidence and improve your quality of life.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are sophisticated dental devices designed to replace missing teeth. They consist of three main components: a titanium post that serves as the root, an abutment that connects the post to the crown, and a custom-made crown that replicates the appearance of your natural teeth. This structure mimics the function and aesthetics of real teeth, offering a permanent solution for tooth loss.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

• Natural Look and Feel: One of the primary advantages of dental implants is their ability to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. The custom crowns are designed to match your natural tooth color and shape, ensuring a realistic appearance.
• Durability and Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, providing a strong and stable foundation for the crown.
• Improved Functionality: Unlike dentures, which can shift or slip, dental implants function just like natural teeth. You can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, without worrying about the stability of your restoration.
• Bone Health: When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can begin to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants help preserve the bone by providing the necessary support, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.

The Dental Implant Process

The journey to a restored smile with dental implants typically involves several steps:

• Initial Consultation: Your experience begins with a thorough consultation at Parsons Smile Center. Dr. Salha will assess your oral health, discuss your dental history, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for implants. This may include X-rays and possibly 3D imaging to evaluate your jawbone.
• Treatment Planning: If you are a candidate, Dr. Salha will develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan may involve preparatory procedures, such as bone grafting, if there is insufficient bone density to support the implant.
• Implant Placement: The next step is the surgical placement of the titanium post into the jawbone. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. After placement, the implant will need time to heal and integrate with the bone, which usually takes several months.
• Abutment Placement: Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This serves as a connector for the custom crown.
• Crown Fabrication and Placement: After the abutment is placed, impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom crown that fits perfectly. Once the crown is ready, it will be securely attached to the abutment, completing your restoration.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Taking care of your dental implants is essential for their longevity. Regular dental check-ups and maintaining good oral hygiene practices—such as brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash—will help keep your implants and surrounding tissues healthy. Dr. Salha and our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
