Dental Implants in New York

Yes. Dental implants are a well-studied, safe procedure with high success rates when placed by trained implant specialists. At 209 NYC Dental, our doctors use digital radiography and the latest techniques to ensure safety.

Most patients are surprised at how little pain they feel. Surgery most often is done with local anesthesia. After placement, mild soreness is normal and managed with medication.

Yes. Lupus is an autoimmune condition that can affect healing, but well-controlled lupus does not disqualify patients from implant surgery. A board-certified periodontist coordinates implant treatment with the patient’s rheumatologist to plan around immunosuppressive medications and disease activity. Patients with active flares typically wait until disease activity stabilizes before proceeding.

Yes. You can switch from traditional dentures to implant supported dentures or implant bridges for more stability. If you’ve worn dentures for years, you may need bone grafting before implant placement. Our doctors will determine this during your initial evaluation.

The 3-2 rule is the spacing standard surgeons follow to protect bone and blood supply around implants. The 3 mm rule: at least 3 millimeters of space between two adjacent implants. The 2 mm rule: at least 2 millimeters (1.5 mm minimum) of space between an implant and an adjacent natural tooth. Following the 3-2 rule preserves the periodontal ligament around natural teeth and the inter-implant bone that supports the gums.

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution, with a 2019 clinical meta-analysis demonstrating a 10-year survival rate of 94–97%. The porcelain crown on top may experience normal wear and tear similar to any other crown. The implants do not decay and resist the common issues that affect natural teeth, provided you maintain healthy gums with proper care and regular brushing.

Critical Foundation for Success: Before placing implants, healthy gum tissue is crucial. Patients with gum disease may need periodontal treatment in NYC to create a stable foundation for long-term implant success.

Yes, in some cases. Dental implant coverage depends on your insurance plan. Many PPO plans cover part of the surgical or restorative phases. We will submit pre-authorization to your provider to determine your benefits.
