holistic dentistry westchester county ny
Missing teeth can turn everyday tasks, such as eating or speaking, into difficult ones. When once-simple activities become challenging, it can affect your overall quality of life. Furthermore, visible gaps in the smile may diminish your self-confidence. Fortunately, holistic dentist Dr. Scott Udoff offers an effective solution — dental implants. Within our state-of-the-art Middletown, New York, dental office, you can regain a complete, healthy, and beautiful smile. Dental implants can help patients preserve jawbone structure, improve your eating and hygiene habits, and help you live a healthier, more self-assured life.

An implant is a titanium post designed to function as the root of the tooth. A natural-looking artificial tooth is then attached to the post to fill the open space. To learn more about dental implants, contact Scott Udoff DMD PC today.

Dental Implants Placement Procedure

Dr. Udoff will first evaluate the condition of the teeth, gums, and jawbone. The gums must be free from any disease or infection prior to beginning. Additionally, if there is insufficient jawbone, bone grafting will need to be completed first. Dr. Udoff will map out a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. The implant placement surgery then proceeds as follows:
  • An incision is made in the socket of the missing tooth to expose the jawbone.
  • A hole is drilled into the jawbone.
  • The titanium post is placed securely into the hole.
  • The incision is closed with sutures.
  • Over the next several months, the treatment site will heal and the post will fuse to the jawbone, becoming a permanent fixture.
  • When the patient returns, a connector piece called an abutment is attached to the exposed portion of the post.
  • A natural-looking prosthetic tooth is attached to the abutment, filling the open space where the tooth was missing.

Candidates for Dental Implants

The best way to learn whether dental implants are right for you is to meet with Dr. Udoff for a consultation. Ideal candidates include individuals with:
  • One or more missing teeth
  • Healthy gums
  • Strong bone structure
  • A commitment to maintaining good oral hygiene
  • A commitment to seeing treatment through from beginning to end

Benefits of Dental Implants

The benefits of dental implants include:
  • Improves eating and speaking ability
  • Enhances appearance
  • Boosts self-confidence
  • Feels comfortable – no sliding around like some dentures
  • Prevents further damage to gums and bones
  • Prevents shifting of surrounding teeth
  • Long-lasting results – even a lifetime in some cases
  • Restorations are strong and durable
  • Maintains oral hygiene the same way you would with natural teeth
  • Achieves a natural look and feel
  • Has an extremely high success rate
  • Improves “concave” appearance

Risks or Side Effects of Dental Implants

As with all surgeries, some risk is involved with dental implant placement, such as infection. However, with an experienced dentist like Dr. Udoff, risks are very minimal.

It is important to carefully follow aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Udoff for the safest and speediest recovery, such as taking prescribed antibiotics, brushing, flossing, rinsing, and staying hydrated. You should also refrain from strenuous activity and should eat only soft foods for a period of time. We will also educate you on proper oral hygiene habits to preserve implants and restorations for a very long time.

Tooth loss is a problem that goes beyond just aesthetics. A number of oral health concerns arise when one or more teeth are missing. Dental implants are an excellent solution that can restore the functionality and strength of your smile in addition to your confidence and comfort.

The Cost of Dental Implants

Although dental implants cost more than other tooth replacement options, their outstanding longevity makes them a better long-term monetary value. Plus, they provide remarkable oral and overall health benefits that are impossible to put a price on. Because we offer comprehensive dental implant treatment under one roof, you can expect to save money when you choose us to rebuild your smile. Many patients are surprised by how easy it is to fit dental implants into your budget!

Invest In Your Oral and Overall Health

We often tell our patients who are missing teeth that dental implants are the best way to fill in the empty spaces. Naturally, then, one of the first questions patients ask is, “How much will it cost?” The answer to that question is different for every patient. On this page, you will learn about some of the factors that go into determining the cost of dental implants in Middletown. You’ll also discover why they are a worthwhile investment.

Types of Dental Implants

Not all dental implant procedures are the same — because not all patients are the same. An individual who needs to replace one missing tooth with a single dental implant and crown will logically have to pay less than someone who requires full mouth reconstruction. Other factors come into play as well, including the materials used to make the final restoration, the exact number of implants used, and more.

What Are the Stages of Dental Implant Treatment?

Dental implant treatment takes place across several stages. You may have to undergo:
  • Preparatory procedures, such as a bone graft or sinus lift
  • The dental implant placement surgery
  • Another minor surgery for the placement of implant abutments
  • Design and placement of the final restoration
Dr. Udoff has all the training, skills, and technology to perform all stages of dental implant treatment right here in our office. Getting all of the work done in one place can save you money. Plus, our team will be able to give you an accurate estimate for your treatment right up front. We even offer sedation, so we will include that in discussions bout price as well. We never want you to face any unpleasant “surprise” fees.

Are Dental Implants Worth the Investment?

In a word, yes. Even though affordable dental implants in Middletown have a higher upfront cost than other types of tooth replacement, their potential to last a lifetime may actually make them a better long-term monetary value. Plus, they offer outstanding benefits that are worth so much more than money. For example, they can restore full, natural dental function and help you regain a confident, beautiful smile.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Implants?

Dental insurance companies try to dictate the way dentistry is performed. Hence, because we put our patients’ well-being first, we are not in-network with any insurance companies. Moreover, insurance should not be a major factor when you are deciding whom to choose as your implant dentist because dental insurance usually does not cover dental implants anyway. Our team will thoroughly explain other payment options to you so you can prepare your personal finances to accommodate your restored smile.

Once you schedule your appointment with us, we will determine the best course of action to take. If you have any additional questions or concerns about our procedure, risks, and side effects, or just have a general question, call our office today.
