RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY REPAIR YOUR SMILE FROM START TO FINISH

A smile affected by one or more missing teeth has the power to take away almost anyone’s confidence. Luckily, there are many excellent dental options that can help patients once again have full, healthy smiles. The most effective of these options is dental implant surgery, a procedure that Dr. Clifford Degel has extensive experience in performing at his Queens, NY, dental practice. At Astoria Dental Group, we are proud to offer a range of dental implant options, including the revolutionary Prettau® Implant Bridge.

Determining Your Candidacy for Surgery

Vector (18)

Most patients who are missing one or more of their natural teeth and have sufficient jawbone mass to support the implant posts will be suitable candidates for dental implant surgery. Patients who lack the necessary jawbone density may first have to undergo a bone grafting procedure in order to improve their candidacy for implant dentistry.

Our office is equipped with the team, techniques, and high-end technology to perform dental implant surgery for virtually every patient.

The success of dental implant surgery depends on careful screening of patients and meticulous planning of the placement of the implants. Dr. Degel will provide treatment for any periodontal or other oral health issues that need to be resolved in order to ensure the best results possible for your dental implant surgery.

Completing Your Surgery over Two Appointments

The Prettau® Implant Bridge is one of the most reliable options in restorative dentistry. The process of placing your bridge will be complete in two visits, and you will experience little to no pain throughout the entire treatment.

First Visit

First, a CT scan of your skull will be done to accurately analyze the condition of your mouth and plot out the exact sites where the implants will be embedded. To make sure you’re comfortable, your surrounding teeth and gums will be numbed. Next, the implant posts will be carefully placed in your jaw, along with abutments, or connectors, that will hold the Prettau® Implant Bridge firmly in place. It will take a few weeks for your jawbone to heal around the implants, by which time your custom-crafted bridge will be ready for placement.

Second Visit

When we receive your Prettau® Implant Bridge, you’ll come in for a test run of your new teeth. Dr. Degel will check to ensure that your bridge fits your mouth comfortably. If there are no adjustments to make, he’ll clean them and securely affix them to your implants.

Pros and Cons of Implant Surgery

When the procedure is performed by an experienced professional with the proper technology and exceptional attention to detail, dental implant surgery is an extremely rewarding experience. Among their many benefits, dental implants offer:

As with any other surgery, there are some risks associated with dental implant surgery, including infection, damaged blood vessels, or numbness in your mouth. These side effects are rare, however, and almost always temporary.
