Single Tooth Implants in NYC

Losing a single tooth can impact your smile, speech, and ability to chew comfortably. Many patients worry about the cost of the dental implant procedure, how insurance applies, and whether the replacement tooth will look like their natural teeth. At 209 NYC Dental, our implant specialists Dr. Jin Wang and Dr. Michale Villa understand these concerns. We provide clear treatment plans, transparent pricing, and compassionate support throughout the dental implant process. With 20+ years of implant expertise, an on-site lab, and flexible payment options, we make single tooth implants a reliable and accessible solution for patients in Midtown Manhattan and nearby boroughs.

What Is a Single Tooth Implant?

A single tooth implant is a permanent tooth replacement method for a single missing tooth. Unlike bridges or partial dentures that rely on surrounding teeth for support, a single implant stands independently.

A single tooth implant consists of three key parts:

• Implant post: surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a new tooth root and provide a stable foundation.
• Abutment: a connector between the implant and the crown.
• Custom made dental crown: a porcelain artificial tooth crafted in our on-site lab to match your neighboring teeth.

This tooth replacement preserves the health of adjacent teeth and helps prevent bone loss in the jaw.

Why Choose a Single Tooth Implant?

Patients often consider other tooth replacement methods such as partial dentures or bridges, but these options can stress neighboring teeth or gum tissue. A single implant offers benefits that other solutions cannot:

• Natural look and feel: The crown is matched to your smile for seamless results.
• Strong chewing support: Eat and chew normally with a stable foundation.
• Protects oral health: The implant helps prevent bone loss in the jaw and maintains proper gum tissue health.
• Preserves adjacent teeth: No need to alter healthy remaining teeth as with a bridge.
• Long term solution: With proper care, a single implant can last decades or even a lifetime.

Common Concerns We Address

Patients exploring tooth replacement often share similar concerns:

• Cost clarity: We explain the entire process, including implant, abutment, and crown, so patients know exactly what they are paying for.
• Insurance confusion: Dental implant coverage varies widely. Our treatment coordinators verify benefits and review coverage directly with your provider.
• Treatment timeline: The dental implant process involves a healing period. We set realistic expectations and offer temporary solutions if needed.
• Fear of surgery: Our periodontists surgically place implants using local anesthesia to keep patients comfortable.
• Trust in care: Patients at 209 NYC Dental receive implants from board-certified or board-eligible specialists supported by restorative dentists Dr. Ifraimov and Dr. Nikitayev.

Who Is a Candidate?

You may be a candidate for a single implant if you:

• Have a single missing tooth due to injury, decay, or gum disease.
• Have healthy gum tissue and enough bone support in the jaw.
• Want a permanent solution instead of a bridge or removable denture.

Our team performs a full evaluation, including digital imaging and review of oral health issues, to determine if additional treatment such as bone grafting is needed before implants can be placed.

The Dental Implant Process

The entire process is completed in steps to ensure the best results:

This process provides a strong and natural replacement tooth that supports long term oral health.

Cost and Payment Options

What Is Tooth Replacement Cost With Insurance in New York?

If you see a participating provider, the cost of tooth replacement will be determined by the contractual fee schedule between your insurance and your dentist. Insurance typically covers a percentage (between 40%–60%) of the cost for dental bridges and partial dentures. Dental implants are often partially covered as well, though coverage varies by provider and policy. Our treatment coordinators handle insurance coordination for you and provide a clear treatment plan with estimated copay. We accept many dental PPO insurance plans.

The Cost of Dental Implants in New York, With Insurance

The total cost of dental implant surgery and restoration can vary depending on whether bone grafting or additional procedures are needed. Your coverage depends on your dental insurance provider and plan. At 209 NYC Dental, our experienced treatment coordinators obtain full details from your insurance company to give you accurate estimates before you begin.

Payment Plans

We understand that dental implants are a significant investment, and we offer flexible payment options to ease out-of-pocket costs:

• In-office interest-free plans: Payment plans are available for restorative treatments. The final payment must be completed before the dental crown or bridge is inserted.
• Third-party financing: We work with CareCredit and other financing companies to help spread the cost of treatment over time.
