Missing teeth can have an impact on one’s self-esteem, the way they look, the way they chew, and the way that they speak. To replace them, Dr. Farid Hakimzadeh of Fresh Meadows Dental Care offers dental implants to restore the aesthetics of one’s smile as well as improve the overall function. Dental implants are replacement tooth roots that are surgically positioned into the jawbone.
The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months. X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place.
