Dental Implants Specialist In Bayside, NY

What are Dental Implants? When we remove a real tooth, we extract the tooth root. The root extends quite far into your jawbone, providing good stability and strength for the tooth. Dental implants are unique because they replace not only the tooth but also the tooth root, consisting of a precision-engineered post made from titanium or zirconia that is inserted directly into the jawbone. Once in the bone, a remarkable process begins as new bone cells begin to grow on and around the dental implant post, which is designed to facilitate this process and is highly biocompatible. Over several months, this new bone growth firmly anchors the post in place, ensuring it is strong enough to support a new tooth.
