Dental Implants in Flushing, NY
Restore Your Smile with Permanent Tooth Replacement
If you are missing one or more teeth, or have teeth too damaged to repair, dental implants in Flushing offer a long-lasting solution. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, making them strong, stable, and natural-looking. They restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant bonds with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-made crown is attached on top. The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth.
Dental implants can be used to replace:
- A single missing tooth
- Several missing teeth
- An entire arch with implant-supported dentures
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants in Flushing?
Most healthy adults with sufficient bone density qualify for dental implants. You may be a candidate if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Have stable oral and overall health
- Do not smoke heavily
- Have adequate bone to support an implant (bone grafting can help if not)
We have successfully placed implants for patients of all ages—even into their 80s and 90s. If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate, our implant dentists in Flushing may still be able to help with advanced techniques like bone grafting or sinus lifts.
Benefits of Dental Implants Over Dentures and Bridges
- Permanent and durable – implants can last decades or even a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural look and feel – they look just like real teeth and restore full chewing ability.
- No shifting or slipping – unlike dentures, implants stay firmly in place.
- Protects your jawbone – prevents bone loss and facial sagging caused by missing teeth.
- Preserves healthy teeth – unlike bridges, implants don’t require grinding down adjacent teeth.
The Dental Implant Process in Flushing
- Consultation & Exam – X-rays and scans are taken to evaluate your candidacy.
- Implant Placement – A titanium post is placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia.
- Healing Period – Over 2–6 months, the implant fuses with the bone.
- Restoration – A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to complete your smile.
For front teeth, temporary solutions can often be provided immediately so you don’t go without a visible tooth during healing.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
With proper care—brushing, flossing, and routine checkups—dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike natural teeth, implants never develop cavities, though the surrounding gums must be kept healthy to ensure long-term success.
Cost of Dental Implants in Flushing
The cost of dental implants varies based on how many teeth are being replaced and whether additional procedures (like bone grafts) are needed. On average, single-tooth implants in Flushing range from $3,000 to $5,000. We accept many insurance plans and offer flexible financing options to make implants more affordable.
