A single-tooth implant is an option if you have a knocked-out, removed, or severely damaged tooth that needs extraction. The permanent dental solution offered at Precision Dental in Astoria & Bayside, Queens, functions identically to a natural tooth and can help restore the look and health of your smile while preventing decay and jawbone deterioration going forward. Well-versed in the newest and most advanced dental implant techniques and procedures, oral surgeon Dr. Alexander Bokser offers single-tooth implant treatment at the most competitive price in NY.

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?
A single dental implant is a self-supporting replacement tooth composed of a small post that is surgically inserted into your jawbone and quickly bonds with the bone surrounding it. The implant is strong enough to hold an implant crown once it has been bonded in place. When looking at photographs of people who have a single dental implant, it is difficult to tell which tooth has been replaced since the implant crown is covered by gum tissue, much like a natural tooth.

Why Choose a Single Tooth Implant?
With a single dental implant, there is no need to grind down or change the shape of surrounding teeth. At the same time, the implant helps to distribute the load created when you bite and chew food, and it keeps the surrounding teeth from shifting out of place and becoming unstable.

When you lose a natural tooth, your dentist will extract the whole tooth, including the root, which usually extends deep into your jawbone. A healthy tooth root serves an important role. It keeps the jawbone surrounding it in place by providing stimulation that signals your body to replace old bone cells in the jawbone as they eventually die off due to bone remodeling. When the tooth root is removed, old bone cells are no longer replaced because they die due to a lack of stimulation.

If you choose an implant, the implant body or post will stimulate the bone surrounding it to guarantee bone cells are replaced, protecting and restoring the strength of your jawbone.

What Causes a Gummy Smile?
Sometimes gum lines are uneven or appear too low. Some people have gums that cover part of their teeth, making it appear as if their teeth look too small. This condition can be genetic or is sometimes caused by certain health problems or taking particular prescription medications.

A person can also show too much gum because they have an overactive muscle in their upper lip. When they smile, the muscle moves the upper lip too much, exposing more gum than is desirable. People with this problem will need a different dental surgery treatment to correct the overactive muscle.

Can an Uneven Gum Line Affect My Dental Health?
Usually, gum contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure and will provide any significant benefits to your oral health. Most people choose this procedure because they want to improve their smile, but some people will have this treatment as part of their periodontal care plan. Gum contouring could be necessary if you need other types of gum surgery, including gum regeneration treatments, gum pocket reduction.

What to Do If Your Gums Are Uneven?
If you feel you show too much gum when you smile, one option is to consider gum contouring. Gum contouring is a treatment that can create an even gum line, ensuring you expose exactly the right amount of tooth and giving you a more attractive smile. Our dentists are experienced in gum contouring and can assess your gum line and your gum health to make sure this treatment is appropriate.

We also offer Zoom!® take-home whitening kits. And we can combine zoom teeth whitening with other cosmetic and restorative options as part of a more comprehensive smile transformation. Indeed, many patients choose to undergo treatment prior to the placement of porcelain veneers so that their veneers can be color-matched to their newly whitened teeth.

Zoom Whitening
Teeth whitening can dramatically brighten teeth that are stained and discolored, and zoom teeth whitening in our Queens dental center is quick and entirely painless. Professional teeth whitening costs are highly affordable. Most importantly, professional teeth whitening is extremely safe. Gentle Dental uses Zoom Whitening, one of the best known and most effective systems available today. With appropriate aftercare, the results can last for years and can be regularly refreshed with top-up treatments.

When to Choose a Teeth Whitening Treatment?
Teeth can discolor for a variety of reasons:

• A love of tea, coffee or red wine, or other highly colored foods and beverages can stain teeth over time.
• Lifestyle habits like smoking or using tobacco products are well known for discoloring teeth.
• Teeth gradually darken with age as tooth enamel thins, exposing more of the dentin underneath.
• Some people naturally have darker colored teeth than others.
• Teeth can appear stained and discolored because of tetracycline use.
• Excess exposure to fluoride can cause dental fluorosis, creating brown spots or lacy white specks on teeth.

We often associate a whiter smile with youthfulness because if you look at a child’s or a younger person’s teeth, they are generally whiter as their tooth enamel is naturally thicker. When tooth enamel is thicker, it masks the natural color of the tooth in the dentin underneath, which is darker. Stained and discolored teeth can be prematurely aging.

Fortunately, regular periodontal screenings and appropriate oral hygiene regimens can help control it, which is why at Bayside dentistry we encourage our patients to schedule regular periodontal oral examinations. Since periodontal disease often manifests no symptoms in its earliest stages, it is important even if you are not experiencing discomfort or signs of infection to seek routine periodontal care by an experienced periodontal professional.

Fortunately, gum disease is preventable with good periodontal care and ongoing preventive dental care. People with advanced gum disease will frequently need the care of a periodontist.

What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is a field of dentistry covering the care of your periodontal tissues, which are the supporting structures around your teeth. Periodontal tissues include your gingiva or gums, the ligaments anchoring your teeth to the jawbone, and the jawbone itself, which is called alveolar bone.Without healthy periodontal tissues, your risk of suffering from tooth loss is substantially higher. Unfortunately, a common condition called periodontal disease or, more often, gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss worldwide. It’s estimated to affect some 80% of American adults to some degree during their lifetime. Fortunately, gum disease is preventable with good periodontal care and ongoing preventive dental care. People with advanced gum disease will frequently need the care of a periodontist.

Congratulations! You made it through your entire orthodontic treatment and now have a perfectly straight smile that you are proud to show off. To keep your new smile as straight as possible and to protect your investment in yourself, it is vital that you continue to wear your orthodontic retainer. Retainers are custom-made orthodontic appliances often prescribed after orthodontic treatment to keep your teeth in place after correcting and reshaping is complete. While retainers can be bothersome, it’s a small price to pay compared to the cost of braces all over again.

At Gibbs Orthodontic Associates, well-known orthodontic specialists in NYC on the Upper East Side offer the newest, high-quality permanent, fixed, and removable dental retainers.

Why It’s Important to Wear a Retainer?
Wearing a retainer is generally the last part of orthodontic treatment and your dentist will provide you with your retainer once your braces are removed or when you have finished using removable braces such as aligners. At this stage your teeth should be beautifully straight in the positions planned by your orthodontist. However, the “memory” of where your teeth used to be situated will remain. This isn’t so surprising when you consider your teeth and tooth roots will have been moved through your jawbone.

By wearing a retainer, you can ensure your teeth remain stable and in the correct positions as they settle down after treatment. Initially, your dentist may suggest you wear your retainer all the time, gradually reducing the time required until you only need to wear it overnight. This depends on whether you have a removable or fixed retainer.
