Dental Implants
You deserve to bite into a crisp apple without hesitation, laugh freely during dinner with friends, and speak with complete clarity during your next presentation. At Gramercy Dental Group, our team of doctors is transforming smiles with dental implants that do more than fill gaps – they restore your ability to live without limits. Our patients walk in concerned about missing teeth and leave with renewed confidence, joining thousands who’ve discovered that permanent tooth replacement can revolutionize their daily lives.
Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are permanent tooth replacements that restore both the visible crown and the underlying root structure. The process starts with a medical-grade titanium post precisely placed within your jawbone. Over time, this post integrates with your natural bone tissue, creating a sturdy foundation that supports a custom-designed crown.
Unlike temporary solutions such as dentures or bridges, implants become a fixed part of your dental structure, offering unmatched stability and function. This innovative tooth replacement system delivers the closest possible match to natural teeth in both appearance and performance.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Unmatched Durability and Longevity
Step into a future where temporary solutions become a thing of the past. Dental implants boast an extraordinary success rate, often lasting decades with proper care. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, these titanium champions withstand the daily forces of chewing, speaking, and laughing without compromise. Their robust construction and biocompatible nature mean they become a permanent part of your oral architecture, potentially serving you for a lifetime.
Natural Look and Feel
Experience the liberation of forgetting you ever lost a tooth. Your custom-crafted dental implant seamlessly blends with your existing teeth, matching their color, shape, and size perfectly. The crown sits naturally along your gumline, creating an appearance so authentic that even you might forget which tooth is the implant. This perfect mimicry extends beyond aesthetics – you’ll bite, chew, and speak with complete confidence.
Preserved Facial Structure
Beneath the surface, dental implants work tirelessly to maintain your youthful appearance. When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone begins to deteriorate, potentially leading to a sunken, aged appearance. Dental implants actively stimulate bone growth, preserving your facial structure and preventing the premature aging that often accompanies tooth loss. This hidden benefit makes them a powerful ally in maintaining your natural facial contours.
Enhanced Oral Health
Unlike traditional bridges that require modifying adjacent teeth, dental implants stand independently, preserving your natural tooth structure. They create no hiding spots for bacteria, making oral hygiene straightforward and effective. Their presence actually promotes better gum health and reduces the risk of bone loss, contributing to the overall well-being of your mouth.
Restored Confidence and Freedom
Break free from the limitations of missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures. Dental implants restore more than just your smile – they return the confidence to laugh openly, speak clearly, and eat your favorite foods without hesitation. This renewed sense of freedom transforms daily interactions, allowing you to focus on life’s moments rather than worrying about your teeth.
Our Dental Implant Process
Expert Evaluation and Planning
We start with comprehensive 3D imaging of your mouth, examining bone density, gum health, and bite mechanics. Your consultation includes detailed discussions about your smile goals, medical history, and lifestyle needs. Our specialists take precise measurements to ensure optimal implant placement while addressing your questions about the procedure.
Digital Treatment Mapping
Using advanced software, we create a precise digital blueprint of your implant placement. This technology allows us to visualize the final results before treatment begins, ensuring ideal positioning for both function and aesthetics. One of our doctors reviews every aspect of your customized plan, from bone grafting needs to crown specifications.
Precision Implant Placement
Through computer-guided technology, we position your implant with pinpoint accuracy. This sophisticated approach minimizes recovery time and maximizes comfort. Our specialists use refined techniques that protect surrounding tissues while ensuring optimal implant stability. We monitor every detail of the placement to guarantee long-term success.
Strategic Healing Optimization
Your body’s natural healing process strengthens the bond between implant and bone. One of our doctors provides specific guidelines to enhance this integration, including dietary recommendations and gentle cleaning techniques. Regular check-ins during this phase ensure your healing progresses perfectly on schedule.
Final Restoration Excellence
Once the integration is complete, we create your permanent crown using exact color matching and advanced materials. The crown attachment process involves meticulous adjustments to your bite and careful verification of comfort and function. We ensure your new tooth feels completely natural while providing detailed care instructions for long-term success.

FAQs
How much are dental implants?
A single dental implant ranges from $3,200 to $4,800. This includes expert placement, high-grade materials, custom crown creation, and all follow-up care. While dentures might cost less upfront, implants eliminate expenses from frequent adjustments, adhesives, and replacements. We partner with CareCredit and Lending Club to create monthly payments that work for you, often as low as $150 per month.
How long do dental implants last?
Clinical data proves that most implants last 30+ years when properly maintained. Daily brushing, consistent flossing, and regular dental cleanings protect your investment. Unlike bridges that need replacement every decade, implants become a permanent part of your mouth. Patients who follow our care guidelines report full implant function even after 25 years of daily use.
Does dental insurance cover implants?
Most insurance plans now contribute $1,000 to $2,500 toward implant procedures. Your coverage depends on specific policy terms, with some plans covering up to 50% of costs. We examine your benefits in detail, looking for coverage in categories like surgical procedures, prosthetics, and bone grafting. Our team files all paperwork and appeals to secure maximum coverage for your treatment.
Do dental implants hurt?
Modern placement techniques make implant procedures remarkably comfortable. Local anesthesia completely blocks pain signals, while optional sedation ensures total relaxation. Recovery feels similar to having a filling – mild tenderness for 3-4 days, easily managed with ibuprofen. Most patients need only one day of rest before returning to normal activities.
Why no dairy after a dental implant?
Dairy products contain proteins that can slow initial bone healing in the first 72 hours after implant placement. These foods also reduce antibiotic effectiveness by up to 50% during crucial healing time. Stick to non-dairy calcium sources like leafy greens and fortified juices for the first week. This ensures optimal implant integration and reduces recovery time.
