Dental Implants

At Duo Dental Spa, office of Dr. Oleg Vinson, we can coordinate your treatment with dental implants – the gold standard in tooth replacement. Dental implants provide a superior restorative option if you seek a solution for missing or severely damaged teeth that cannot be repaired through dentistry treatments. Dental implants can act as a secure foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth as an alternative to traditional restorations such as dentures, bridges, and crowns. With dental implants, experienced providers at Duo Dental Spa can enhance your cosmetic appearance and restore your ability to chew. If you reside in or around the Queens Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens, New York City, New York, call the office to schedule a visit or book a consultation online today.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are used to replace the root when the natural tooth is missing. A natural tooth has a crown — the part visible above the gum line, and a root — the anchor hidden below the gum line.

Depending on the number of these artificial roots and the quality of the jawbone surrounding them, the Duo Dental Spa team can safely and effectively anchor:

• Individual crowns
• Dental bridges
• Poor fitting dentures

Like an orthopedic pin, a dental implant is a titanium fixture surgically grafted into the bone. This pin has threads on the sides to allow for stabilization immediately following your dental implant placement. 

Immobilizing dental implants allows for more predictable and faster healing. This is the reason why your implant looks like an ordinary screw.

What should I expect during my dental implant procedure?

The dental implant procedure and the process of implanting a titanium pin inside the jawbone take less than an hour. This fast and predictable treatment, with a success rate of over 97%, is done by making a small cut in the gums, carefully measuring and preparing a space to receive an implant, followed by the actual implant insertion.

Post-operatively most patients report none or minimal discomfort because the operative area is often very small, and the fact that the jawbone receiving an implant has limited nerve supply. 

With numbed nerves, you can expect not to feel any pain during your dental implant procedure. You might feel pressure at times, but it should not cause you any discomfort.

Following post-operative care instructions is integral to dental implant surgery and will ensure a comfortable and speedy recovery.
