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…
While traditional dentures are prone to slipping whenever you eat or speak, implant-supported restorations remain securely in place.
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.
Dental implants have a substantial lifespan. With proper care, the restoration can last decades, while the implants themselves can last for a lifetime.
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.
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.

Dr. Yandresco Quintana is committed to creating confident smiles for all of his patients.
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
The oral surgeon will create small incisions in your gums. Then, he will insert the titanium implant through the incisions and into your jawbone.
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."
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.
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.
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.
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!
Dental implants are the ultimate restorative treatment that can improve your quality of life, but it involves a significant procedure. We want you to understand all of the facts and key factors of dental implants so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.
Dr. Yandresco Quintana and his team will be happy to answer any questions about dental implants and implant-supported restorations. You can discuss the details of your treatment during a consultation or by calling our office at:
We are proud to be a dental resource for the New York, community.
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:
Brush your teeth and floss on a daily basis to keep both your implants and your natural teeth healthy.
It is important to visit Quintana Smiles twice a year so we can thoroughly clean your teeth and keep an eye on your implants.
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.
Each of our restorations is crafted by the finest dental labs in the area.
Implant-supported crowns can restore one tooth at a time using a natural-looking prosthetic.
Implant-supported bridges can replace two or more consecutive teeth at the same time.
Implant-supported dentures can restore multiple teeth or even an entire row with one device.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Our team can replenish your smile with our radiant implant-supported restorations. If you’re tired of being afraid to show your smile and want a natural-looking restoration, you may be a great candidate for dental implants.

Unlike some other dentists, Dr. Yandresco Quintana will listen to your needs and see you as a real person rather than a source of income. Dr. Yandresco Quintana bases his treatments on your experience and overall health.
Dr. Yandresco Quintana has been helping patients smile since 1987. He is an active member of several prestigious organizations and has trained with world-renowned dentists in the Aesthetic Advantage program.
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.
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.
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.
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.
