If you experience problems with your dentures, you should definitely look into getting dental implants put in for the purpose of better stabilization. Implants provide a level of stability and power behind your dentures that no adhesive, no matter how strong, could ever hope to replicate.
What kinds of problems can the use of dental implants to stabilize dentures solve?
Dental implants can solve a number of problems, including dentures that slide out of place frequently, dentures that don’t have enough stability and power to chew tough foods, dentures that cause your gums pain because of a poor fit, and dentures that need to be put on every day with messy and foul-tasting adhesive.
After having dental implants installed, all of these issues become a thing of the past.
How complicated is the procedure of getting dental implants put in? How painful is it?
Having dental implants put in is a relatively simple and painless procedure, especially when compared with the mess and discomfort that you already deal with on a daily basis due to ill-fitting dentures!
What should I look for in a doctor to perform the procedure?
When choosing a doctor to put in your denture stabilizing implants, it is important to choose a dentist (preferably a board certified periodontist) who has extensive experience performing this procedure. Not every dentist does! You can ask any dentist you are considering exactly how many procedures he or she has performed, and what their long-term success rate is.
If you are experiencing pain and embarrassment as a result of sliding dentures, especially if the occurrence of these negative symptoms has become a regular – if not a daily issue, then you should definitely investigate further the idea of getting dental implants put in to stabilize your sliding dentures.

Dental implants are one of the most common cosmetic procedures that our practice performs today. Being able to replace a tooth to complete a smile is very important to someone who has lost a tooth to age, decay, or an accident. If you’re thinking about making an appointment to get a dental implant put in, what exactly should you expect? We’ll describe how the process works below so that you know exactly what to expect.
The most common way for a dental implant to be performed is a two visit method spread out over a few months. During your first visit, we will perform simple surgery (don’t worry, you’re sedated and won’t feel a thing!) where we will add an implant to your jaw bone that will act as the “root” for the replacement tooth. This doesn’t take too long in-office, but you’ll wait a few months before the second visit to allow the root to bond with the jaw bone. You’ll usually have a bridge placed over the implant at this time so you won’t accidentally damage it either!
Your second visit will be a lot less invasive and won’t take as much time either. During this appointment you’re actually going to get your new tooth put on! The mold will have been created beforehand to perfectly match your jaw, either by molding the tooth that used to be there or crafting a new one from scratch that will match the rest of the teeth in your mouth. Once it is on, you’re good to go with a beautiful new smile!
There’s nothing to be afraid of when it comes to dental implants, and if you’ve ever been insecure about your smile or had trouble because of missing teeth, then this could be the procedure that solves all of your problems!

Are Dental Implants the Best Tooth Replacement Option For You?
Hi, it’s Dr. Eric Weinstein from Shine Dental Associates of the North Shore, located at 400 Jericho Turnpike in Syosset.
Many questions come up about the use of dental implants if you have one tooth that’s missing or you have an accident and you break one tooth, you lose a tooth, a crown fails or a root canal-treated tooth has to be removed, etc.
Many Options Are Available to You for Immediate Tooth Replacement Utilizing Dental Implants
Maintaining your dental implants is very important not only to your overall health but also the long term stability of the implant. Peri implantitis can develop if plaque and tarter becomes lodged under the gum tissue. Peri implantitis is almost the same as periodontitis but rather than developing bone loss around teeth, you develop bone loss around implants. If you get bone loss around your implant, the implant can potentially become loose and falls out.
Are Dental Implants Covered by Insurance?
Patients often ask whether dental implants are covered by insurance. The answer is that it depends.
Many companies that provide dental insurance maintain that dental implants are a cosmetic dental procedure and not “necessary” and, therefore, not covered. However, there are a few insurance providers that do cover implants to some extent. It just depends on your insurance carrier.
Another question we get asked frequently is whether a patient planning on having implants placed can switch from an insurance provider that does not cover implants to one that does.
Do you know dental implants are the most popular service that dentistry has to offer! That’s because they are versatile and can be used in many different ways.
They can help stabilize dentures, replace missing teeth or even a full set of teeth.
Implants make it possible for you to smile with confidence once again. With implants as a replacement for dentures you will no longer need to deal with messy adhesives or glue. You know longer have to swallow the glue and get sick from it. No more gagging on dentures.
