Dental implants are metal posts or screws that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. Once in place, they allow our dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them.

What is the cost? Dental implants are usually more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, and most insurance carriers typically cover less than 10 percent of the fees, however, implants last longer and produce a more natural feeling of a tooth. If you’re interested in replacing a missing tooth or teeth, dental implants may be an option for you. Most people are good candidates for implants.

A good candidate should have the following: Healthy gums. Enough bone to anchor the implants in the jaw: some people who have bone loss still can get implants, but first the bone must be rebuilt using special procedures. A commitment to care of the implanted teeth and surrounding gums: daily brushing and flossing are essential as well as regular visits to the dentist for follow-up

Some people may not be good candidates for implants. They include: Young people whose jawbones have not stopped growing. Pregnant women. Heavy smokers: smoking hinders healing in the mouth. It can reduce the likelihood of a successful implant. Alcohol or substance abusers who are not prepared to follow the dentist’s instructions after placement of the implant, such as no smoking, and returning for follow-up. People with various chronic diseases and/or systemic problems.

Dental implants are the best long-term solution for missing teeth. At Albany County Dental Associates, we use a medical grade titanium fixture that actually fuses to living bone, and place a permanent crown on the implant. This results in teeth that look and feel completely natural.If you have lost a single tooth due to an accident or from periodontal disease, that one tooth can be easily replaced using a single dental implant. Your new tooth will look and function just like your other natural teeth.Occasionally a patient is missing more than one tooth, but still has healthy gums and surrounding teeth. Several fixtures are implanted and the crowns are attached, leaving other natural teeth intact.Albany County Dental Associates uses state-of-the art dental implant technology allowing us to deliver the highest quality service to our patients. 3D dental CAT scans and 3D planning software enable us to measure the density and quantity of your jawbone with greater precision than ever before.

You may not know what qualifies as a dental emergency. Is it serious or will it pass after a little while? If the pain is minimal but consistent, you may be fine until the next day when you can see your dentist. But sometimes, the resulting pain in your gums, teeth or jaw are so intense that you have no choice but to seek immediate treatment.

Waiting too long to address your pain may complicate your dental emergency. And it’s unnecessary when you can get 24-hour emergency dental care.

So visit your dentist or seek emergency dental care if you’re dealing with symptoms such as:

A broken or knocked-out tooth. A broken tooth or a tooth that’s been dislodged is the most obvious reason to get emergency dental care. The resulting pain can limit your ability to function, and the injury can result in a lot of bleeding. If you don’t address the situation immediately, it may lead to permanent tooth loss.

Unexplained tooth pain. Any pain that doesn’t have a clear causality needs a professional diagnosis. Maybe you bit down hard enough on something to crack your tooth. Or perhaps it’s a sign of a more serious condition, like an infection. You can’t know what it is until you go to a dentist for a thorough examination.

Missing filling or crown. If a crown falls out, you usually feel it right away. Fillings fall out more frequently than you imagine. If you’re experiencing a metallic taste in your mouth, that’s an indicator that your filling is loose or nearly gone. Ignoring the pain can lead to urgent dental care in the form of a root canal.
