Dental Implants
DENTAL IMPLANTS FOR MT. KISCO, NY
Robert D. Aufrichtig, D.M.D. uses dentures , bridges , dental veneers and other implants to not only improve the look and feel of your smile, but to completely change your dental health!
Dental Implants are essentially titanium “roots” that are placed into the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, and secure complete dentures. A dental implant can take the place of a missing tooth and gives the appearance of a natural tooth. These can even be used to eliminate the need for partial plates or partial dentures.
Dental Implants come in three parts—the implant, the abutment, and the crown. The dental implant is the screw that attaches to your jaw and serves as a root for your new teeth. The abutment is a connector that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth. The crown is the visible part of the dental implant that is usually made of zirconium or porcelain for durability and aesthetics. Our Mt. Kisco-based team is here to assist you throughout the entire process.
In the past 30 years, implants have become the cosmetic dentistry standard for replacing missing teeth. Though there is generally more cost associated with this procedure, choosing implants is a worthy investment that will pay off for you in the long run.

DENTAL IMPLANTS
RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you’re considering a cosmetic procedure to address specific dental issues, you might have to consider whether an implant is right for you. Let’s discuss some of the signs that dental implants might be the right treatment for you:
- Missing Teeth: If you have one or more missing teeth, opting for implants can provide a permanent, long-term solution to fill any gaps and restore your smile. Dental implants can last a lifetime with the right care and maintenance, so if you’re looking for a natural solution to your missing teeth this can be a good solution.
- Good Overall Health: To be a suitable candidate for dental implants, you should be in good general health. Certain medical conditions may affect the healing process. You’ll need sufficient bone density in your jaw and healthy gums in order to count on your implants being successful. You should also be a non-smoker; smoking can negatively impact the healing process and cause your implants to fail.
- Commitment to Oral Hygiene: Good oral hygiene habits, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, are vital if you want to maintain your implants. You’ll need to commit to long-term care if you want to get dental implants.
- Functionality: Implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They can significantly improve your quality of life. If you want a low-maintenance solution, dental implants are right for you.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing solution compared to dentures or bridges. If you depend on your smile for personal or professional opportunities, a more attractive option like implants is likely your best choice.
Dental implants offer a durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth. However, they are not suitable for everyone. Certain habits and circumstances will play a crucial role in determining whether implants are the right choice for you. Consulting with our experienced team is the first step in making an informed decision. We can assess your individual needs and provide targeted solutions that fit your specific circumstances.
DENTURES
Dentures do much more than just improve your smile and appearance; they also allow you to retain your ability to speak and eat comfortably. Full dentures are removable teeth replacements that can be crafted to provide characteristics, such as tooth shape and color, that you choose.
If you already have dentures and still have trouble chewing or speaking and have sore gums, your dentures may be the incorrect fit for your mouth. Our cosmetic dentists can help give you back peace of mind that your dentures will be fully secure by correcting the fit and making them more comfortable for you.
DENTAL BRIDGES
In some cases, a partial denture, or bridge, is enough of a replacement for missing teeth. We literally bridge the gap between the missing teeth with artificial ones. This removable partial piece can be placed or removed by you at any time. Although dental bridges can be made from a variety of materials such as gold, typically they’re made from porcelain to aesthetically blend in with your natural teeth.
However, there are also fixed bridges available, where only Dr. Rob will be able to move the piece. With fixed bridges, a false tooth (pontic) and its anchor (abutment crown) fix the bridge in place.
