Dental Implants New Brighton
An Advanced Solution for Replacing Missing Teeth
Dental implants are often considered the most advanced option for replacing missing teeth, no matter the severity of the case. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implant posts can replace the roots of missing teeth, which facilitates healthy stimulation for the jaws. Once the posts have been placed beneath the gumline and fused with the jaws, a custom dental restoration can be attached. They can also last for decades under ideal circumstances. Call our office today to speak with Dr. Helal about receiving dental implants.

What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small posts made from titanium that are surgically placed beneath the gumline, where they act as replacement tooth roots – something other dental restorations cannot do. Due to their composition, they’re biocompatible and capable of safely fusing with a patient’s jawbone. Once they’ve healed, they can support virtually any type of dental restoration, as well as offer numerous other oral health benefits to patients.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – During your consultation, Dr. Helal will determine if dental implants are a good option for restoring your smile. Patients must exhibit good oral and overall health and have enough jawbone density, among other qualities.
- Dental Implant Surgery – We can complete the dental implant process in-house, saving you the trouble of having to coordinate with different offices and teams. The process itself is very straight forward, and you won’t have to worry about pain since you’ll be numb. Dr. Helal places high quality Straumann implants at her practice, one of the top brands worldwide.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – After they’ve been placed, your implants will need a few months to heal. This part of the process, called osseointegration, is crucial – implants are likely to fail if they cannot fuse with the jaw. Once they’ve healed, we can call you back in to deliver your abutments, which go on top of the posts, and connect them to your replacement teeth.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – Virtually any type of dental restoration can be used with implants, depending on the degree of tooth loss. Once things have healed up, you can finally receive your custom-made restoration and begin enjoying your brand-new smile. We’ll ensure it looks, feels, and functions correctly before sending you on your way!
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants don’t just replace missing teeth; they also offer numerous other oral health benefits, including:
- They prevent bone resorption from occurring by providing natural stimulation to your jaw.
- They’re capable of lasting for several decades under ideal circumstances.
- They can restore up to 80% of a patient’s original bite force.
- Cleaning them is easy! You can use your electric toothbrush and water-flosser to remove any buildup. This will help keep your implant and surrounding gums healthy.
