Dental Implants

A missing tooth or several missing teeth can cause unnecessary discomfort and embarrassment, making your day-to-day life more difficult.  Dr. Yandresco Quintana helps patients suffering from tooth loss by offering dental implant treatment at our New York, practice. Find out how dental implants can significantly improve your quality of life…

The Benefits

of Dental Implants

Maximum Stability

While traditional dentures are prone to slipping whenever you eat or speak, implant-supported restorations remain securely in place.

Improved Function

Patients are able to speak, bite, chew, and smile with greater ease and confidence once they have been fitted with implant-supported crowns or dentures.

Durable Investment

Dental implants have a substantial lifespan. With proper care, the restoration can last decades, while the implants themselves can last for a lifetime.

Jawbone Support

When a missing tooth is left untreated for a long period of time, the tissues in the jaw begin to deteriorate. Implants replicate your natural tooth roots and prevent jawbone recession.

Enhanced Confidence

People with beautiful smiles are more confident. When you feel good about your teeth, you will likely see improvements in your personal and professional lives.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants are titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots. They are biocompatible, so over time they naturally fuse with your jawbone tissue, becoming a part of your anatomy. Dr. Yandresco Quintana can attach custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures to your implants at our New York office.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Dental Implant Qualifications

You must meet certain requirements in order for implants to be successful. When you have your free consultation at our New York office, Dr. Yandresco Quintana will perform an oral exam to determine if you a good candidate. To qualify, you need…

Adequate Jaw Tissue

Tooth loss leads to jawbone atrophy. If your bone is not dense enough to support implants, we can arrange a bone grafting procedure that will restore your candidacy.

Healthy Gums

Candidates for implants must be free of gum disease. If you suffer from a periodontal condition, we will first treat that before moving forward with implants.

Good Overall Health

We require our patients to be in good overall health before undergoing a dental operation. Patients who smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, or have an auto-immune disorder may have trouble healing from implant surgery.

Dental Implant Timeline

Dr. Yandresco Quintana works with a team of highly trained oral surgeons to provide his implant patients with the best possible care. The oral surgeon performs the surgical placement of the implant, while Dr. Yandresco Quintana handles the creation and placement of the implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture.

After your initial consultation at our New York office, you can expect the following treatment timeline:

The complete dental implant process takes several months, but it results in a functional, natural-looking smile that is worth the wait.

Implant Surgery

The oral surgeon will create small incisions in your gums. Then, he will insert the titanium implant through the incisions and into your jawbone.

Healing Period

Over the next three to six months, your dental implant will fuse with the bone tissues in your jaw in a process known as "osseointegration."

Abutments

Once the implant and jawbone have fully integrated, you will undergo a second procedure to attach abutment pieces. The abutments will sit at the gum line and serve as the point of connection between the titanium implants and your restoration. 

Impressions

Once the gums have healed, Dr. Yandresco Quintana can begin preparing your implant-supported crown,bridge, or denture. We will use our state-of-the-art Cadent iTero® Scanner to take digital impressions of your mouth. We were the first practice in the entire world to make use of this futuristic technology.

Fabrication

Dr. Yandresco Quintana will use your scans to design a precise-fitting, natural-looking restoration out of materials of your choosing. Then, we will send our design to our trusted dental lab, where skilled technicians will craft your restoration to fit your unique specifications.

Placement

Finally, once your crown, bridge, or denture is ready, you will return to our Quintana Smiles office to have your prosthetic tooth or teeth placed. Our dentist will secure the restoration and check the overall look and fit, making any necessary adjustments. You will leave our office with a complete, confident smile!

How do I care for my dental implants?

Maintaining Dental Implants

Maintaining implants is as easy as taking care of your natural teeth. To keep your implants and the attached restorations in good condition, we recommend:

Practicing Good Oral Hygiene

Brush your teeth and floss on a daily basis to keep both your implants and your natural teeth healthy.

Attending Dental Check-ups

It is important to visit Quintana Smiles twice a year so we can thoroughly clean your teeth and keep an eye on your implants.

Avoiding Excess Force

Just like your natural teeth, an implant-supported restoration can wear down over time if you grind your teeth, open packages with your mouth, or excessively eat hard, sticky foods.

What Are My Restoration Options

For Dental Implants?

Each of our restorations is crafted by the finest dental labs in the area.

Crowns

Implant-supported crowns can restore one tooth at a time using a natural-looking prosthetic.

Bridges

Implant-supported bridges can replace two or more consecutive teeth at the same time.

Dentures

Implant-supported dentures can restore multiple teeth or even an entire row with one device.

Can I afford dental implants?

We Offer Competitive Prices

for our Implant Treatment

Treatment is more budget-friendly than most patients think. Our fair pricing model allows us to offer implants at a competitive price. While final cost of dental implant treatment is determined on a case-by-case basis, we make sure you receive the highest value for your procedure. Some factors that affect the price of implants include:

Number of Implants

The most significant factor in determining the cost of treatment is the number of implants you require. Replacing one tooth with an implant-supported crown costs less than replacing several teeth with a bridge or denture that requires multiple implants.

Additional Procedures

Some patients require preparatory dental procedures like bone grafts or extractions. While these procedures add to the ultimate cost of treatment, they are necessary to ensure the success of dental implants and should be considered a worthwhile investment.

Restoration Materials

Implant-supported restorations can be made from several different natural-looking materials that range in price. We can recommend lower-cost options for patients on a tighter budget and design a treatment plan that works for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

From Our New York Patients

Are dental implants painful?

While dental implants do involve surgery, the doctor will use local anesthesia to numb the area for a virtually painless procedure. You can also opt for oral conscious sedation, which can be combined with local anesthesia, to help you feel more relaxed in the dentist's chair. Patients may feel some mild discomfort following your surgical visit, but over-the-counter medications can typically manage any soreness.

Are dental implants permanent?

Yes, dental implants typically last 10 years or longer but can last a lifetime with the proper treatment and care. While your implants are permanent, you may need to replace the abutments and attached restorations after as they become worn down over time. However, restorations tend to last as long as your implants. For example, dental crowns can last as long as 15 to 20 years when properly maintained.

Are dental implants covered by insurance?

Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not cover the cost of the implants or the abutments. However, your dental insurance plan may cover at least part of the cost of your implant-supported restoration. Our friendly New York staff can help you determine the coverage of your dental plan and explore different financing options.

Are dental implants worth it?

Whether or not dental implants are worth it depends on the individual patient, but no other restoration delivers the same results and quality-of-life improvements that implants do. Dental implants can also save you money in the long run by supporting your jaw. Without your natural teeth or implants, your jawbone will shrink over time. Traditional dentures are made to fit your jaw, so a changing jaw size will require you to replace your dentures every few years and potentially cost more over time compared to receiving implants.
