NYC Dental Implants

Provide beauty, preserve function and prevent atrophy with implant dentistry from Manhattan Periodontal Associates.

If you need to replace a missing tooth, consider a dental implant from Dr. Toscano in Manhattan. Dental implants are the most advanced tooth replacement system available today.

A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically inserted into your jawbone where teeth are missing to anchor a crown, bridge or denture. Your jawbone bonds with the implant, establishing a superior root foundation for your restoration.

A dental implant can serve three purposes. It can function:

1. As an artificial root for a single tooth replacement
2. As an anchor for a fixed or removable prosthesis that replaces multiple teeth
3. As a foundation for a full bridge or full dentures

Implants offer many benefits, including:

• Fixed positioning
• Preservation of your existing jawbone and gum tissue
• Prevention of bone atrophy — avoid that premature “sunken-in” appearance
• Functionally and aesthetically indistinguishable from your natural teeth
• A superior bite pressure that is equal to your natural teeth
• A success rate and longevity are far superior to any other restoration
• Conservation — requires no removal of adjacent teeth structure
• Never develop decay and never require root canals
• Denture wearers — never again worry about glues or adhesives, wobbling or clicking
• Denture wearers — improve your chewing and speaking abilities

For implant dentistry from Manhattan Periodontal Associates, Dr. Toscano starts by using a device called a Cone Beam CT. This technology generates high-definition, 3D digital images and precise anatomical information regarding your mouth, face and jaw. This creates a high level of surgical predictability, incredibly precise measurements and lightning-fast procedural results.

The Manhattan dental implants procedure is a two-step process that involves both surgical and restorative components. First, Dr. Toscano surgically inserts your implant, which gradually bonds to your jawbone over a period of 3-6 months. Once the healing process is complete, Dr. Toscano then places the post and your final restoration, typically with a crown, bridge or denture.

In many cases, you can receive your replacement restoration in just a few weeks. In some cases, you can even receive it on the same day your implant is placed. This is often referred to as an “immediate implant”.
