Transform Your Smile and Your Life — with the Hudson Valley’s Leading Implant Specialists

Dental implants act as artificial roots, surgically inserted into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. Through a natural process called osseointegration, the implant fuses with the bone over time. After healing, a realistic restoration—such as a crown, bridge, or denture—is securely placed on the implant, restoring both appearance and function.

Losing a tooth affects more than just your smile—it can make eating difficult and limit your ability to maintain a nutritious diet. Over time, adjacent teeth may shift, causing bite issues and discomfort. Missing teeth can also lead to jawbone deterioration, which may impact facial structure and compromise overall oral health.

Ideal candidates for dental implants are those in good overall health with healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant. Individuals who avoid smoking or tobacco use typically experience better healing outcomes. A comprehensive evaluation by a dental implant specialist is essential to determine if implant treatment is the right choice.

Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution for tooth replacement, with the implant post itself often lasting a lifetime when properly maintained. The visible restoration, such as a crown, may require replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear. Factors like daily oral hygiene, lifestyle choices, overall health, and routine dental checkups all influence the longevity of an implant. To maximize results, it's essential to follow good oral care practices and consult with an implant specialist for personalized advice.

Coverage for dental implants varies depending on your individual insurance plan. Some policies may provide partial benefits, while others may exclude implant procedures or impose specific restrictions. In certain situations, insurance may only apply if the treatment is considered medically necessary. To determine your coverage, it's best to review your policy details or contact your insurance provider directly.
