Implants & Dentures

Millions of adults lose teeth each year due to accident, injury, illness, or disease. In addition to diminishing self-confidence, missing teeth cause bite problems, dietary restrictions, and bone loss. Now, there’s a stable solution to missing teeth that closely mimics nature’s design – dental implants. With dental implants, Dr. Mohr can secure a single tooth, several teeth, or a full denture. You can smile, eat, and speak with complete confidence knowing your tooth replacement is firmly anchored in place.

A dental implant may sound complicated, but it’s really based on a very simple design. If you’ve ever lost a tooth, you know that the portion you see when you smile is only part of the full picture. A tooth extends into the jawbone via the tooth root. The jawbone surrounds the tooth root and holds it in place. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made from titanium. Just like with a natural tooth root, the jawbone surrounds the titanium and holds the implant firmly in place. Dr. Mohr then attaches a custom crown, bridge, partial, or denture to the implant, and you can enjoy a fully functioning, completely renewed smile.

Implant-Retained Dentures
Removable dentures, especially lower dentures, tend to slip and click at the most inopportune times. An implant-retained denture is a type of overdenture that is supported and attached to dental implants. The implants stabilize the denture and stimulate new bone growth, thereby preventing the bone loss that can cause dentures to become ill-fitting over time. Dr. Mohr offers several types of implant-retained dentures to accommodate a wide range of needs. Visit our Massapequa Park office for a consultation to learn if your denture can be stabilized with the use of dental implants.
