What Are Dental Implants?

Just about every aspect of dental implants differentiates them from other tooth replacement options. Rather than sitting on top of the gums, an implant is a small, screw-like post made of titanium that is placed directly into the jawbone. There, it naturally fuses to the tissue, becoming a strong foundation that can support a singular crown, multi-tooth bridge, or even a full denture.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process

-
1. Consultation: To begin, Dr. Badawy will examine your mouth, take several images and 3D scans, and discuss your various options to see if dental implants would be a good fit for your situation.
-
2. Placement: Receiving implants involves undergoing a minor surgery where the posts are positioned within the jawbone. This can be done right here in our Chittenango dental office, so you won’t need to visit a separate specialist.
-
3. Healing: During the next 3-4 months, the implants will form a strong connection with your jaw through a natural process called osseointegration, making them extremely sturdy and secure.
-
4. Restoration: The big day has arrived! When your mouth is ready, you’ll return to our office so Dr. Badawy can attach your new teeth to your dental implants.
The Benefits of Dental Implants

Over 500,000 dental implants are placed in the United States each year, and the reason more and more patients are choosing them over traditional dentures is because they…
-
Restore 80% of someone’s biting strength (traditional dentures bring back about 20-20%)
-
Can last for 30+ years (regular dentures and bridges have a 7-10 year lifespan)
-
Don’t cover the roof of the mouth like removable dentures
-
Are extremely lifelike and have no noticeable attachments
-
Enable a patient to eat whatever they like
-
Are the only option that can prevent bone loss in the face and jaw
-
Provide support for the lips and cheeks to create a more youthful appearance
-
Only require regular daily oral hygiene to be maintained
