If you are missing one teeth or several teeth, dental implants could be the perfect solution for you. Whether you are missing teeth due to tooth decay, injury, or gum disease, in each of these situations, patients have provided great feedback on the results they have experienced through dental implants. Almost without exception, these patients express a dramatic boost in their confidence to smile, laugh, speak, and eat in public and social situations.
Some benefits of dental implants include:
- Permanency – Dental implants can last for the rest of your life. Where bridges and dentures can be a good solution in some cases, they don’t provide the permanent support for your jawbone that dental implants do. Dental implants provide a solid support for the bone structure in your jaw that will maintain the integrity of your jawbone for years to come. Implants will prevent the dissolving of bone structure and the shifting of remaining natural teeth.
- Comfort – Dentures and bridges are usually attached to some type of a bulky base. However, dental implants are directly embedded into your bone structure and don’t require any type of base. This allows your implants to look and feel just like your remaining natural teeth. Dental implants are comfortable and natural while you are speaking, eating, smiling or laughing.
- Beauty – Dental implants look completely natural and original. Implants are embedded directly into your gum and jaw and look just like real teeth. Knowing this will help you feel completely confident to smile, laugh, eat, and speak without any concern for the appearance of your teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do dental implants cost in NYC?
The cost of dental implants depends on how many teeth are being replaced and whether additional procedures such as extractions or bone grafting are needed. During your free consultation, Dr. Cutlatsakes will review your options and provide a clear breakdown of fees before any treatment begins.
How long do dental implants take to complete?
Dental implants are placed over the course of a few appointments and typically take a few months from start to finish to allow the implant to fuse with the jawbone before the final crown is placed.
Are dental implants painful?
Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia and most patients report the procedure to be comfortable and far easier than they expected. Any mild discomfort afterward is usually temporary and managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

I asked him several in depth questions about dental hygiene and was very satisfied with all of his answers, and how he made me feel like he had all the time in the world to discuss them.
