IMPLANTS

Dr. Yuval Spector maintains an Implant Fellowship on the staff at North Shore University Hospital and has the experience to educate and provide quality implant dental care.

If you are missing one or more teeth, you want replacements that are as natural as possible. Implants are the closest thing to having natural teeth! It is critical to replace the tooth root in conjunction with the visible part of the tooth (the crown) because the natural tooth roots, which are embedded into the bone, hold the bone in place and preserve the bone.

Without this structural support the bone deteriorates. This is called bone resorption. Without an implant a patient may experience a collapsed facial profile, some increase of wrinkles around the mouth and compromised lip support.

This can be avoided through preserving the bone through a dental implant. When the implant is inserted into the jaw, a bond is formed and the jawbone grows into the implant.
The outcome is a durable perfect fit that is as good or often better than your original teeth.

Some of the benefits of dental implants include:

• Preserves the integrity of your facial structure
• Comfortable biting and chewing
• Improves speech
• Allows you to broaden your food options
• No compromise of adjacent teeth
• Hygiene is made easy again
• Eliminates adhesives

With today's technology, almost anyone is a candidate for successful implant treatment. There are very few health or age restrictions. Surgical placement is done in the Signature Smiles office and patients are typically back to work within a couple of days. Call or email dentist Yuval Spector for a consultation or more information about implants.
