Dental Implants in NYC to Replace Missing Teeth for Good

Implants solve a range of problems—from a single missing tooth to several gaps across your smile. You may be a strong candidate if you're dealing with:

• A single missing toothReplace it without touching the healthy teeth beside it.
• Multiple missing teethFill several gaps with implants that stand on their own.
• A failing or damaged toothReplace a tooth too far gone to save.
• A loose bridge or dentureTrade slipping, removable appliances for a fixed solution.

Placing an implant is precise, methodical work and we treat it that way. Each step builds toward a tooth that's stable, natural, and made to last.

Here's how it unfolds:

1. 01

   Evaluation and CBCT Planning

   Success starts with the plan. We evaluate your jaw with a CBCT scan, a detailed 3D image of your bone, then plan your case digitally. This shows us exactly where the implant should go for the strongest, safest result.

2. 02

   Implant Placement

   We place the titanium implant body into your jawbone, positioning it precisely where your planning maps it. This post becomes the new root for your replacement tooth.

3. 03

   Osseointegration

   Now the magic happens. Over the coming months, your bone fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration. This is what makes an implant so stable as it becomes a permanent part of your jaw.

4. 04

   Restoration

   Once the implant has integrated, we attach the abutment and top it with a custom crown. The crown is shaped and shaded to blend with your natural teeth, so no one can tell which tooth is the implant.

   Plan it right. Place it precisely. Restore a full smile.

Every implant is built from three components working together. Each one has a job and together they replace a tooth from root to surface.

• The implant bodyThe titanium post that anchors into your jawbone and serves as the artificial root.
• The abutmentThe connector that attaches to the implant body and supports the crown above it.
• The crownThe visible, tooth-colored top that's custom-made to match your natural teeth.

Dentures and bridges replace the tooth you see. Implants replace the whole thing, including the root. That difference changes everything.

Here's what implants deliver that other options can't:

• They protect your jawboneAn implant stimulates the bone like a natural root, helping prevent the bone loss that follows missing teeth.
• They stand on their ownUnlike a bridge, an implant doesn't grind down or lean on healthy neighboring teeth.
• They stay putNo adhesives, no slipping, no removing them at night. An implant is fixed in place.
• They feel naturalBite, chew, and speak the way you always have.
• They lastWith proper care, implants are built to serve you for years to come.

Most people missing a tooth are good candidates, but the foundation matters. A successful implant needs enough healthy bone to anchor into.

Here's what we look for:

• Enough healthy boneThe implant needs solid bone to fuse with and hold.
• Healthy gumsA stable, disease-free foundation supports long-term success.
• A commitment to careGood oral hygiene keeps your implant healthy for the long haul.
