Dental Implants

Dental Implants_

Why Zirconia Implants? Zirconia is both a tensile and a very durable, dense material. Since it is highly bio-compatible (i.e. able to integrate naturally into the body), it is used in dentistry for posts, crowns, implant abutments and dental implants.

Zirconia matches the color of natural teeth, and is bio-inert making it both a good-looking and superior material in implant dentistry particularly in cases where metal allergies, aesthetics or other compatibility issues are of concern.

Why you should choose dental implants

When you suffer from tooth loss, tooth implants are recommended over short-term bridges, that harm adjacent healthy teeth, and full or partial dentures. Although dentures have long been a staple of restoration dentistry, many find their temporary nature to be problematic. Poorly adhering pastes and sliding dentures can be uncomfortable and leave you feeling insecure. Dental implants you can regain your confidence. A balanced and healthy diet, the freedom to laugh fully, and the ability to speak without hesitation can all become realities. Schedule a consultation with our team to learn how we can revitalize your smile with dental implants.

Dental implants are designed to last

  • Provide a permanent restoration for ultimate comfort and fit
  • Refresh your smile with a natural looking, beautiful tooth replacement
  • Restore your ability to chew properly and speak clearly
  • Protect the health of the surrounding teeth and bone
  • Require no additional cleaning rituals or maintenance
  • Preserve facial structure for a more youthful appearance
  • Replace a single missing tooth to a full arch

A biological approach to dental implants

As biologic and restorative dentists we consider the whole patient including the systemic effects of our treatment. That’s why we highly recommend zirconia dental implants. Zirconia does not cause allergic reactions and is not sensitive to temperature (since it is thermally not conductive). Given their natural tooth-like appearance, zirconia implants have an aesthetic advantage over titanium implants. While attractive aesthetic results can also be obtained with titanium implants where ceramic posts and crowns are used, this significantly increases the cost of treatment. Ceramic implants cause very little inflammation, exhibit significantly less plaque formation and in the event of slight gum recession or shrinkage, they do not reveal the unsightly gray lines attributed to titanium implants. Zirconia implants are non-corrosive and have no impact on taste in the mouth. Significantly, Zirconia implants do not cause health disturbances such as galvanization (electro-current disturbance) which naturally disrupts the body’s energy meridians and inter-cellular electric currents, as well as causes or accelerates disease processes.

Bio-Compatible bone graft materials – All of the bone grafting materials that we use here have been painstakingly selected over decades of research. Our team has considered only the most natural, effective and top-of-the-line materials available on the dental market with the greatest consideration of every material’s bio-compatibility. All of our grafting materials have bacteriostatic properties, and facilitate blood clotting in a bone graft, enabling the material to take on the necessary density. Further, these materials are rarely utilized by other general dentists or oral surgeons because they require more investment of time, educational effort, and cost on our part. We believe that you’re worth it!

Anxiety-free dentistry

At Rejuvenation Health, your overall physical and emotional wellbeing are as important to us as your oral health. As a biologically driven multi-specialty dental team, we consider how what we do impacts all of you—not just your mouth. We offer all major sedation methods from local to general anesthesia, our practice is synonymous with sedation dentistry in New York, NY so that you can relax through your appointment without fear or pain.

We use local anesthesia, the foundational level of sedation, to numb treatment sites before a minor procedure. You remain completely alert under its effects.

We’ll prescribe a medication for you to take either before your visit or during it. The level of anxiety you have will determine the kind of medication we provide as well as the level of comfort you experience.

We administer nitrous oxide, sometimes referred to as laughing gas, through a mask. Nitrous oxide keeps you alert but relaxed throughout your treatment, and its effects wear off quickly after the mask is removed.

Administered intravenously, IV sedation puts you in a sleep-like state, though you’re not actually asleep. You won’t feel any sensation during your procedure, nor will you remember anything about it afterward.

The biological dentists at Rejuvenation Dentistry® offer same-day dental crowns and dental bridges for ultimate comfort.
