We Perform Every Stage of Treatment With No Need for Referrals

Placing and restoring dental implants is a highly technical process requiring several types of expertise. Many practices have to refer patients to other specialists for steps such as implant placement, restoring the implant with a crown, bridge, or denture, or placing a bone graft. Staten Island Aesthetic & Implant Dentist is different. Because our dentists are certified in dental implants and have trained with leading experts in clinics around the world, they can handle every stage of treatment, from planning to the final restoration, in one location. This is important for a few reasons:

  • When one practice handles every step of your treatment, your dentist's vision is realized through first-hand care for a greater likelihood of an excellent outcome.
  • You won't have to worry about finding your way to multiple offices. Each time you're ready for the next phase of treatment, it will happen at the same convenient location.
  • This capability can save you money. Involving multiple specialists can inflate your total treatment cost, but receiving all necessary treatment under one roof can keep your treatment as economical as possible.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small post usually made from titanium surgically inserted into the jawbone. The titanium fuses to the jaw to act as your natural tooth roots would. Once the post fuses with the bone, it acts as an artificial tooth root. Titanium is biocompatible, meaning the body won't reject the material.

Dental implants are the only tooth restoration technique that replaces a lost tooth root. This provides unmatched stability for replacement teeth and encourages new bone growth to keep your jaw strong.

A complete implant-supported restoration includes the dental implant, a connector piece called an abutment, and the artificial tooth. When multiple implants are used, they can support everything from a dental bridge to a full-arch denture.
 

Implants Offer Versatile Solutions For Missing Teeth

Single Tooth

For patients missing a single tooth, implant-supported crowns offer a healthy and secure alternative to traditional dental bridges.

Row of Teeth

Two implants can support a dental bridge without having to alter nearby natural teeth. A traditional bridge requires alteration of healthy nearby teeth.

Full Tooth Loss

Implant-supported dentures can replace a complete arch of teeth in your upper or lower jaw and erase concerns about slipping traditional dentures.

Convenient, Effective Tooth Replacement Call for a Free Consultation

While most dentists in the area refer patients to oral surgeons for the surgical stage of the dental implant procedure, Dr. Alex Hecht and his son Dr. Jason Hecht have advanced training in both the surgical and restorative phases of implant dentistry.

Our office also features state-of-the-art diagnostic systems, including a CT scan machine that allows us to capture detailed 3-D images of your smile, including your jawbone. This helps us determine whether you are a suitable candidate for dental implants and pinpoints prime locations for the implants so we can achieve superior results.

If you are looking for a long-lasting, reliable solution to your missing teeth, request a dental consultation today at Staten Island Aesthetic & Implant Dentist here in Staten Island.

Dental implants are designed to replace missing or extensively damaged teeth. At Staten Island Aesthetic & Implant Dentist, we always take the most conservative approach possible when providing treatment for the teeth, jawbone, and gums. In this case, the patient's compromised teeth could not be repaired. However, if your damaged teeth can be salvaged, we will explore alternatives to dental implants.

Dental Implant Treatment What to Expect

When compared to keeping bad teeth and paying repeatedly for temporary solutions, the cost of implants may be more affordable in the long run.
When compared to keeping bad teeth and paying repeatedly for temporary solutions, the cost of implants may be more affordable in the long run.

Your Consultation

Before recommending implants, you will have a thorough consultation at our Staten Island, NY, practice. During this appointment, either Drs. Alex or Jason Hecht will explain the restorative treatments available. This visit gives you the chance to meet our friendly team and to ask as many questions as you like. If you are interested in implants, we will proceed with evaluating your health and needs.

Planning Treatment

If we decide that implants are right for you, we will schedule an additional evaluation. During this dental appointment, one of our dentists will create a detailed, one-of-a-kind surgical plan. We will use a cone beam CT scanner to capture a three-dimensional image of your mouth and determine the best locations for the implants. We will also determine if you need preparatory treatments for gum disease or bone loss before your implant surgery. 

Your Implant Surgery

The dentist will first numb your gums to ensure your comfort. If needed, he can provide sedation. Next, he will create pilot holes in your jaw, accessing the bone through small incisions in your gums. He will then place the necessary number of implants for your restoration. Just one implant is needed to replace a missing tooth while a full denture may require four or more posts.

Healing & Osseointegration

Recovery usually takes between four and six months, during which the implants fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. During the healing period we can often provide a temporary restoration to wear. Some procedures, such as Teeth Tomorrow® and All-on-4® dental implants, allow us to place an implant-supported provisional denture immediately after your surgery.

Abutment Placement

If the abutments were not placed earlier, you will return for minor surgery to have these connector pieces attached. Abutments allow the dentist to attach your restoration to the implant. It takes about two weeks for the gums to form a seal around the connector.

Replacing Your Missing Teeth

The final step is attaching your dental crown, bridge, or denture to the implant. Your custom restoration will be made out of a quality dental material carefully matched so it blends in with your natural teeth. The dentist will test the fit to ensure it is comfortable and make any necessary adjustments before attaching it to the implants.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

Dental patient handing over credit card to make payment

How Much Are Dental Implants?

At our Staten Island practice, replacing a single lost tooth with an implant-supported crown can cost from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on the materials used to make the restoration and other factors. During a free consultation, we can provide you with an estimated cost of treatment.

Couple looking at insurance plans

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dental Implants?

It depends on the plan and provider. Many providers consider implants an elective treatment and will not contribute to the cost of dental implants, but will cover at least part of the cost of restoration and some preparatory work. We accept many insurance plans and can communicate directly with your provider to help you claim maximum coverage.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

With proper care, your implants could last 40 years or longer. By choosing a reputable provider, brushing twice a day and flossing at least once daily, and undergoing six-month checkups, you can experience the maximum benefits of this treatment.

Sedated woman

Does Getting Dental Implants Hurt?

Thanks to local anesthesia, sophisticated techniques, and optional sedation, you can expect that your dental implant placement will be virtually painless. You can expect some swelling and discomfort during the first several days of recovery that can be easily controlled with meds and cold compresses.
