IMPLANTS

IMPLANTS

A dental implant is an option to replace a missing tooth. In this procedure, a small titanium shaft is surgically implanted into the bone and allowed to set. The bone grows around it forming a tight connection, which additionally slows or stops the bone loss that occurs when the root of a natural tooth is missing. Once the implant is firmly set in the mouth, the dentist then works to attach the replacement tooth onto the top of the shaft. This permanent solution has the advantages over bridge work that it does not stress the surrounding teeth for support, and, should the tooth wear out, another can simply be replaced on the shaft.

Implants can also be used as support as part of an implant bridge. This is an alternative to partial dentures, and has several advantages. First, there is no adjustment period to acclimatize the patient who, once the work is done, only feels teeth, not metal supports intruding into the mouth. Second, this slows the bone loss occasioned by missing teeth. Third, there is no discomfort or difficulty in eating. And, best of all, of course, they don’t have to be taken out all the time.

We also offer mini dental implants. These implants are about half the diameter of traditional implants are used mainly to stabilize lower dentures. These implants can be placed in one appointment and be immediately used. The cost is 50-70% of standard dental implants. Call for a free consult.

I've gone to see Dr. Udeshi and her staff a few times now and had a positive experience every time. Everyone from the front desk to the hygienist and dental assistants is so nice and accommodating. They were very considerate with my allergies too which I appreciated!

Dr. Udeshi is the best. I never had a good experience with a general dentist before coming here.

Sayville Family Dentistry has been taking care of my teeth for many years now and I can honestly say that they have provided excellent care in a friendly manner. We go every 6 months & I recently had a checkup last week. Doctor Udeshi & Hygienist Kay Mertens know their business and have provided all my dental care without trying to push me into unnecessary procedures, I totally trust their recommendations to be what I need & their work is top notch. My wife and myself highly recommend their practice for your dental care.

I had the best dental experience ever . I’m a dentist and I’m a super phobic. I ended up fracturing a tooth and Dr. Udeshi fixed it. It was a completely painless experience. Very friendly staff and an efficient dentist made it a pleasant experience. I would only trust Dr. U with my teeth! Highly highly recommend .
