Full Arch Dental Implant in Brooklyn, NY

How to Get a Full Arch Dental Implant

Getting a full arch dental implant is a multi-step process that requires careful planning and execution. When you schedule a consultation with Dr. Herskovits at Brooklyn Smile, our dentist in Brooklyn, NY, will examine your mouth and take 3D scans to assess the condition of your teeth and jawbone. Based on the results of these scans, he will create a personalized treatment plan for you. This may involve extracting any remaining teeth in the arch, as well as bone grafting if necessary.

Once the treatment plan is finalized, you'll be scheduled for surgery. The procedure itself involves placing multiple dental implants into your jawbone to serve as anchors for the replacement teeth. After the implants are placed, there will be a healing period of several months, during which time the implants fuse with your jawbone—a process called osseointegration.

Once healing is complete, custom-made replacement teeth—either fixed or removable—will be attached to the implants. These replacement teeth are designed to look and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably again. It's important to note that getting a full arch dental implant is not an overnight process—it takes time and patience. However, many patients find that it's worth it in terms of improved oral health and quality of life.

• Another significant benefit is that full arch dental implants help preserve facial structure by preventing bone loss in the jaw. When teeth are missing, the underlying bone deteriorates over time, leading to changes in facial appearance such as sagging or sunken cheeks. Implants stimulate bone growth and maintain proper jawbone density.
• In addition to these functional advantages, full arch dental implants also offer psychological benefits. Having a complete set of teeth can boost self-confidence and improve social interactions. You'll feel more comfortable smiling, talking, and laughing without feeling self-conscious about your missing teeth.
• Moreover, compared to other tooth replacement options like bridges or removable dentures, full arch dental implants have long-term durability. With proper care and maintenance through regular oral hygiene practices along with routine visits to Dr. Herskovits's office for check-ups and cleanings, they can last for many years or even a lifetime!
