Initial Consultation and Examination
The first step in the dental implant process at Flatiron Dental is an initial consultation and examination with Dr. Arti Jagirdar. During this appointment, Dr. Jagirdar will thoroughly examine your teeth, gums, and bone density. She will also review your medical history and discuss your dental goals. This consultation is crucial to determining whether dental implants are the right option for you.
Implant Placement
The second step in the dental implant process involves the precise placement of the dental implant. Dr. Jagirdar uses advanced technology to ensure that the implant is positioned correctly for optimal function and aesthetics. The implant, made of titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone where it will serve as the root for the new tooth.
Abutment and Crown Placement
The final step in the dental implant process is the placement of the abutment and the dental crown. The abutment is a small device that connects the implant to the crown, and the crown is the visible part of the tooth. Both are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly and match your natural teeth.
Improved Oral Health
Dental implants offer significant health benefits. Unlike other tooth replacement options, they do not require altering other teeth, allowing more of your natural teeth to be left intact. Individual implants also allow better access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
Enhanced Appearance and Self-esteem
Dental implants are designed to fuse with the bone, become permanent, and feel like your own teeth. They look natural and can enhance your smile, helping to boost your confidence and self-esteem.
Durability and Convenience
Dental implants are a long-term solution. They are durable and with proper care, can last a lifetime. Dental implants eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place. You can eat your favorite foods without hesitation and enjoy the full taste of the food you love.
Dental implants are often considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they are designed to function like your natural teeth, root and all. Unlike bridges or dentures, a dental implant integrates directly with your jawbone, preserving bone structure and providing unmatched stability.
At Flatiron Dental in New York, we use advanced imaging and biocompatible materials to ensure each implant not only looks natural but also lasts for decades with proper care. Because they don’t rely on neighboring teeth or rest on gum tissue, they help maintain your overall oral health long-term. Your dentist can help you determine if a dental implant is the right choice for your smile.
A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth and requires one titanium post and one crown. It's ideal when you have one or several missing teeth in different areas of your mouth. The Implant-Supported All-on-X system, on the other hand, is used when you're missing most or all of your teeth on the upper or lower arch.
All-on-X uses either 4 or 6 carefully placed implants to anchor a full arch of teeth, offering a more secure and natural-feeling alternative to traditional dentures. Dr. Arti Jagirdar and the team at Flatiron Dental offer both options, depending on your unique needs and long-term goals. Let’s talk about which solution is a better fit for your lifestyle and oral health.
With the right preparation, dental implants are still possible, even after bone loss. IIf you’ve been told that you don’t have enough jawbone for dental implants, bone grafting can help rebuild the bone structure needed for successful placement. Over time, missing teeth cause the jawbone to shrink, making it hard to support implants.
At Flatiron Dental, we offer advanced bone grafting techniques, from ridge preservation to sinus lifts, that use either your own tissue or specialized grafting material to restore bone volume safely. We also incorporate state-of-the-art technology like 3D scans and PRF to improve healing.
Great results take time, and your new smile is worth it. The full dental implant process typically takes between 4-7 months. After your initial consultation at Flatiron Dental in New York, your dentist will plan your treatment and then surgically place your implant post.
It only takes about 2-3 weeks to heal from the initial implant placement process. But after this comes a 3-6 month period of osseointegration. This is when your jawbone fuses permanently with the implant. During this time, the implant will essentially become a natural part of your mouth. Once healing is complete, the final crown or restoration is attached.
If you need additional treatments like tooth extractions and bone grafting, an additional 3-6 month healing period may be necessary before you can have your implant placed. Throughout the entire treatment process, Dr. Arti Jagirdar ensures each step is clearly communicated and carefully planned to respect your time and comfort.
