About Dental Implants in Amherst, NY
A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth covered by a custom dental crown. We permanently secure implants in the jaw with a small titanium post. The post acts as a tooth root, stimulating healthy bone growth to avoid jaw shrinkage, often occurring after tooth loss. A dental implant functions like a natural tooth, enabling patients to enjoy normal speech and a healthy diet without restrictions. With proper dental care and good oral hygiene, a dental implant can last a lifetime.
Parts of the dental implant:
- Implant post: a bio-compatible titanium post that is surgically implanted and fuses to the jaw bone
- Abutment: connects to the implant at the gum line and secures the dental crown or overdenture
- Prosthetic tooth: this can be a dental crown for a single missing tooth or a dental bridge or denture for multiple missing teeth
Types Of Dental Implants
We offer all types of dental implants, depending on your particular dental health needs. Dr. Karl Neuhaus will meet with you to thoroughly evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns and recommend the option(s) best suited to your unique goals.
- Single tooth dental implants: we can replace your missing tooth with a natural-looking implant that will blend with your natural smile without compromising adjacent teeth to support an appliance.
- Teeth In A Day: also known as “all-on-four,” Dr. Neuhaus can place several strategic mini or traditional implants to secure a hybrid denture for restoring lost teeth or replacing a poorly fitting denture.
- Multiple implants: Dr. Neuhaus offers a secure and permanent option to the dental bridge for patients missing several consecutive teeth.
Dental implants have quickly become the “gold standard” of tooth replacement, with current patients enjoying an over 95% success rate. They provide a permanent, secure, and completely functional solution to support healthy bone growth in the jaw to maintain your natural appearance and profile. Tooth loss and replacement with traditional options can lead to a prematurely aged appearance due to bone loss and subsequent jaw shrinkage.
Dr. Karl Neuhaus offers complete services for dental implants and can discuss how they can benefit your unique dental concerns and goals.

Are you…
Missing one or two teeth?
Single dental implants can be used to replace one or two teeth. Usually, the implant is placed and restored with a porcelain dental crown or bridge. Dental implants can be used to replace teeth that are congenitally missing or teeth that have been lost due to accidents, tooth decay, gum disease, or other reasons.
The tooth implant will help to maintain the bone structure and prevent neighboring teeth from moving or shifting, which can cause additional problems and/or tooth loss.
Missing several teeth?
If you are missing several teeth in a row, dental implants can support a hybrid bridge or partial denture. In addition, Dr. Neuhaus offers treatment with the aid of sedation dentistry to have your replacement teeth restored in just a few visits while you sleep.
Missing all of your teeth?
We offer a variety of treatment techniques to replace all of your missing teeth using dental implants. We can also secure ill-fitting dentures with the use of mini dental implants.
