Dental Implants - Albany, NY
Please see our videos below discussing dental implants and other alternatives.
Knowledgeable and Experienced Dentist
When considering dental implants, it’s important that you select a knowledgeable, experienced dentist, as well as one with whom you feel comfortable.
Dr. Winter and the professional team at Albany Dental Care, P.C. in Albany, NY have the experience to help you feel confident and the “chair-side manner” that will help you feel comfortable throughout the process.
Dental implant treatment consists of two components: a surgical phase and a restorative phase.
Traditionally, an oral surgeon or a periodontist performed the surgical component, while a general dentist or prosthodontist performed the restorative component.
As implant dentistry has become more sophisticated, a dentist like Dr. Winter, who specializes in restorative dentistry, can handle the entire process.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see the same qualified dentist for both phases?
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
You could be a great candidate for a tooth implant if you have a healthy strong jawbone and healthy gums. During the procedure, the dentist inserts the implant into the upper or lower jawbone. The abutment is attached to the implant with a screw. This part connects the implant to the crown. During restoration the part that looks like a tooth is screwed or cemented onto the abutment. The artificial tooth or crown leaves your smile looking 100% natural.
We're not kidding when we say that dental implants are the most natural-looking way to replace missing teeth. The jawbone actually forms a chemical and mechanical bond with the implant and grows right into the implanted device! However, only patients with healthy oral tissues and mostly intact jawbones are eligible for dental implants. If you aren't a candidate for dental implants, Dr. Winter will tell you how else he can transform your smile!
