Multiple Dental Implants

Multiple dental implants are a sophisticated restorative dental solution designed to replace several missing teeth or provide full-mouth rehabilitation. Composed of biocompatible titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone, multiple implants mimic natural tooth roots, offering a stable foundation for customized prosthetic teeth. This treatment restores aesthetics by closely resembling natural teeth and enhances chewing efficiency and speech clarity. The process involves a comprehensive assessment, implant placement surgery, integration of implants with the jawbone (osseointegration), and attachment of prosthetic teeth. Multiple dental implants promote long-term oral health by preserving jawbone structure, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting, and eliminating the need for removable dentures. With proper care and maintenance, multiple dental implants can significantly improve quality of life by restoring dental function and revitalizing a natural-looking smile.

Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Multiple dental implants can support a full-mouth restoration for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth. Techniques like All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants involve strategically placing four or six implants per arch to anchor a complete set of fixed dentures. This approach offers significant advantages over removable dentures, including improved stability, comfort, and the ability to enjoy a varied diet without dietary restrictions.

Preventing Bone Loss

Dental implants help preserve jawbone density and prevent bone loss that can occur after tooth extraction. By stimulating the surrounding bone through osseointegration, implants promote bone growth and maintain facial structure, preventing the sunken appearance often associated with tooth loss.

Maintaining Oral Health with Multiple Dental Implants

• Brush your teeth at least twice daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Clean around each implant and prosthetic tooth meticulously to remove plaque and food debris, which can lead to gum disease and implant complications.

• Use dental floss or interdental brushes to clean between the implants and under the prosthetic teeth. Proper flossing helps prevent plaque buildup and reduces the risk of gum inflammation (gingivitis) and periodontal disease.

• Rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash to help reduce bacteria and plaque in areas difficult to reach with brushing and flossing alone. Choose a mouthwash our dentist recommends to maintain oral hygiene around the implants.

• Schedule routine dental visits every six months or as recommended by our dentist. During these visits, our dentist in Queens, NY, will assess the health of your implants, perform professional cleanings, and promptly address any concerns or issues.

• Smoking can compromise the success of dental implants by slowing down healing and increasing the risk of implant failure. If you smoke, consider quitting or reducing your tobacco use to improve the longevity of your implants and overall oral health.

• Pay attention to any changes in the way your implants feel or function. Notify our dentist if you experience pain, swelling, implant mobility, or changes in the fit of your prosthetic teeth. Early detection and intervention can prevent potential complications.

• Avoid biting down on hard objects, such as ice cubes or pen caps, which can damage the prosthetic teeth or strain the implants. If you participate in contact sports or activities that pose a risk of oral injury, wear a mouthguard to protect your implants and natural teeth.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support oral health and overall well-being. Limit sugary snacks and beverages, which can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.
