Dental Implants in Queens Village.
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up: a small titanium post integrates with your jawbone, and a custom crown on top looks, feels, and chews like your own tooth. Implants don't slip like dentures and don't require grinding down neighboring teeth like bridges.
- Looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth
- Preserves jawbone and facial structure
- No impact on neighboring healthy teeth
- Decades-long track record of success
Common questions
Am I a candidate for implants?
Most healthy adults are. We evaluate bone volume with imaging and review your health history. Even patients told 'no' years ago are often candidates with today's techniques.
How long does the process take?
Typically three to six months start to finish, and most of that is quiet healing time while the implant fuses with bone. Each visit itself is straightforward.
Do implants hurt?
Placement is done under local anesthesia and most patients report less discomfort than a tooth extraction, managed with over-the-counter medication for a day or two.
