Dental Implants in Hicksville, NY
Permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement, with every step of the implant process completed in-house at our Hicksville office, from extractions and bone grafting to your final restoration.
Replacing Missing Teeth, Close to Home
Losing a tooth can change the way you chew, speak, and smile. At Comfort Dental at Hicksville, we help patients replace missing teeth with dental implants: a permanent, natural-looking option that is designed to look and function like a natural tooth.
An important part of our approach: every step of your implant treatment is completed in-house. If a tooth needs to come out first, if the bone needs to be built up, or if the sinus area needs to be prepared, we take care of it here. Your consultation, implant placement, custom abutment, and final restoration all happen in the same familiar office on West Old Country Road, with the same caring team.
Patients from Hicksville, Plainview, Jericho, and Syosset appreciate not having to coordinate appointments across several offices.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over the following months, the bone grows around and bonds to the implant through a process called osseointegration. Once healed, the implant becomes a stable foundation for a custom crown, a bridge, or a denture.
A finished implant has three parts: the implant in the bone, a custom abutment that connects it, and the final restoration you smile and chew with.
Why patients choose implants
- They help preserve jawbone density where a tooth is missing.
- They help prevent surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty space.
- They can replace a single tooth or support a bridge or denture for several missing teeth.
Who Dental Implants Are For
Implants can be a good fit for adults who are missing one or more teeth, who have a tooth that cannot be saved and needs to be extracted, or who are looking for a fixed alternative to a removable appliance. Because implants rely on healthy bone and gums for support, we start every implant plan with a careful look at both.
If your gums need attention, we treat gum disease first. If the bone has thinned, bone grafting or sinus augmentation can often rebuild the foundation an implant needs. For some patients a fixed bridge or partial denture is the better choice, and we will talk through the options together.
What to Expect at Our Hicksville Office
Implant treatment happens in stages, with healing time in between. Your own plan will be tailored to you.
Consultation and imaging
We review your health history, examine your teeth and gums, and take digital X-rays and panoramic images to plan the implant position.
Preparing the site
If needed, we perform the extraction as part of your implant treatment, along with bone grafting or sinus augmentation to create a strong foundation. All of this is done in-house.
Implant placement
The implant is gently placed into the jawbone, and you go home with clear instructions for the days that follow.
Healing
Over the next several months, the implant fuses with the bone while we monitor healing.
Abutment and restoration
Once the implant is stable, we attach a custom abutment and your final crown, bridge, or denture, adjusted so your bite feels natural.
Caring for your implant
Implants cannot get cavities, but the gums and bone around them still need care. Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth daily, and keep up with regular cleanings and exams. If you grind your teeth, ask about a custom nightguard.
