Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth with a stable, root-like foundation set into the jawbone. Once healed, an implant can support a crown, bridge, or denture, giving patients a fixed option for replacing one tooth or several. At Brighton Family Dentistry in Brooklyn, NY, we consider dental implants as part of a broader restorative plan tailored to each patient's oral health needs.

When Implants Are Considered

Single missing tooth — an implant and crown can fill the gap without altering neighboring teeth.
Multiple missing teeth — implants can anchor a bridge or support an implant-supported denture for added stability.
Insufficient bone — bone grafting may be recommended beforehand to build a solid base for the implant.

Related Care We Offer

Extractions — removing a damaged or failing tooth is often the first step before implant placement.
Oral Surgery — implant placement itself is a surgical procedure performed after careful planning.
Full Mouth Reconstruction — for patients missing several teeth, implants may be one part of a larger restorative approach.

What to Expect

Every implant case starts with an evaluation of your gum health, jawbone, and overall dental needs. From there, we discuss whether an implant, bone grafting, or an implant-supported denture best fits your situation, so you understand each step before moving forward.
