What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a replacement for the roots of missing teeth. Made of titanium, the implant is surgically placed in the jawbone. Over time, the new implant actually fuses with the bone, acting as a natural tooth. After the healing process, a crown or artificial tooth is bonded to the root, matching the color and shape of your existing teeth.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth in a row, or be used to support removable dentures. The use of implants with these traditional devices improves fit, adds strength, and reduces movement of artificial replacements. Each of these types helps to preserve jawbone shape.

Fact
Missing teeth make eating difficult, change your face shape, and take away your desire to smile. Even worse, missing teeth can be the gateway for a host of serious oral health issues. The gap left between your teeth can be a trap for bacteria and plaque. Your existing teeth will shift to fill the empty space creating gaps and crooked teeth. The gumline often recedes, inviting periodontal disease. You can even suffer from jawbone deterioration. Replacing your missing teeth is not all about your appearance. It is an important way to protect your oral health.

What Are Dental Implants? FAQ
Shine Dental Associates – Syosset, Long Island
Dental implants are permanent tooth replacement solutions that act like artificial tooth roots. They are made from biocompatible titanium and are placed into the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations. At Shine Dental Associates in Syosset, dental implants are used to restore function, appearance, and long-term oral health.
Once placed, a dental implant fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation for a replacement tooth. After healing, a custom restoration is attached, allowing the implant to look, feel, and function like a natural tooth.
Dental implants can replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch. Common options include single implant crowns, implant-supported bridges, implant-retained dentures, and full-mouth dental implants such as All-on-X.
Dental implants offer greater stability and longevity than traditional dentures or bridges. Unlike dentures, implants do not shift or require adhesives. Unlike bridges, implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and help preserve jawbone structure.
Most healthy adults with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Adequate bone density and healthy gums are important, but even patients with bone loss may qualify with advanced planning. A consultation and 3D imaging at Shine Dental Associates determine candidacy.
Dental implants are designed to be long-lasting and can function for decades with proper care. While the implant itself may last a lifetime, the crown or prosthetic attached to it may need replacement over time due to normal wear.
Yes. Implant-supported teeth are custom designed to match the color, shape, and size of natural teeth. Patients often report improved comfort, confidence, and chewing ability compared to removable tooth replacement options.
