A missing tooth doesn't just leave a gap — the jawbone underneath starts losing density within months, and neighboring teeth begin drifting toward the open space. Because an implant fuses into the bone through osseointegration, it does something a bridge can't: it gives the jaw something to hold onto again.
Before anyone reaches for a drill, the offices we refer to run a CBCT scan to map bone density and nerve position in three dimensions. Grafting or a sinus lift, when needed, gets scoped out at the planning stage so there's no mid-procedure surprise.
Full healing before the permanent crown goes on typically takes three to six months while the implant integrates with the bone. Most patients aren't left with a visible gap during that stretch, since a temporary tooth usually covers it.
Every implant referral goes to a specialist who places these routinely, not a general dentist doing it occasionally.
The plan is based on your actual bone anatomy, captured digitally, not estimated by eye.
You get pricing for consultation, placement, healing, and the final crown as separate line items before you commit.
If bone needs rebuilding first, that's done at the same practice instead of a separate referral chain.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
One titanium post, one custom crown, shaped and shaded to match the teeth next to it.
A row of missing teeth can be restored on as few as two implant posts.
Designed for patients missing most or all teeth in one jaw who want a fixed, non-removable result.
Loose dentures get snapped onto two to four implants for a fit that doesn't shift when you eat.
Rebuilds jaw volume or raises the sinus floor to create room for a future implant.
Some patients walk out with a placeholder tooth in place immediately, swapped later for the final restoration.
You describe what's going on in a minute or two; no automated menu to fight through first.
We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
You get a clear explanation of the treatment plan and its cost before any work begins.
Treatment proceeds on the agreed plan, with aftercare instructions and a follow-up if the case calls for one.
"Explained every step and the cost before doing anything. First visit that didn't feel rushed."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Got routed straight to a specialist who knew what to do."
"No upsells, no pressure. Just the treatment I needed at the price I was told upfront."
The surgery itself is brief; healing and integration are what stretch the timeline out to several months.
Placement happens under local anesthesia, and recovery discomfort is usually compared to a tooth extraction.
Grafting or a sinus lift can often build up enough volume, which gets evaluated during your imaging appointment.
Pricing varies with the number of implants and any bone work required, confirmed before you commit to anything.
An implant replaces the root directly in the bone; a bridge instead anchors to the natural teeth on either side.
The titanium post rarely fails; the crown on top may need replacing after a decade or two of normal wear.
We keep a live list of specialists across Port Washington and the surrounding zip codes, so a nearby, open provider is already in our network.
Licensed to practice in NY, verified before referral.
