What Are Dental Implants? – A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

At Westchester Family Dentistry and Implant Center, we believe that everyone deserves a healthy, confident smile. If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution that restores not just your smile—but your ability to speak, chew, and live with confidence.

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant fuses with your natural bone (a process called osseointegration), it creates a stable foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.

This innovative solution closely mimics the structure of natural teeth and offers unmatched durability, function, and aesthetics.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Permanent & Secure: Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored in your jawbone for long-term stability.
  • Natural Look & Feel: Custom restorations are designed to match your surrounding teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
  • Preserves Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and facial sagging that can occur with missing teeth.
  • Improves Function: Eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile with confidence—without worry.
  • No Damage to Neighboring Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down adjacent teeth.

Who Can Get Dental Implants?

Most adults in good health with adequate bone density are candidates for dental implants. If you’ve been missing a tooth for some time or have bone loss, we may recommend a bone graft before placing your implant. Our team will evaluate your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan just for you.
