Dental implants are an advanced and efficient way of permanently replacing missing teeth.
Unlike dentures, which can be removed, dental implants work by attaching to the jawbone, which allows them to act exactly as your regular teeth.
With more than 20 years of experience as an implant dentist working in Howard Beach, Dr. Paul IIan has supported the community by restoring smiles with the use of these high-quality, custom-made implants.
Dental implants act like a full replacement tooth, above and below the gumline. The implant itself starts as a small titanium post that bonds naturally with your jawbone and provides a strong and permanent base for the crown.
A dental crown is made to match the look and color of your other teeth, and this is attached to the titanium posts with the help of a small connector, or a bridge in case of extensive damage.
The result? A dental implant that looks, feels, and acts just as natural as your other teeth, restoring your bite function and helping your mouth feel as good as new.
Dental implants are a great option for:
At DPI Dental we treat missing teeth as a top priority because they can cause bone loss, teeth to shift, and even changes in your face over time. That’s why we work hard to provide the best dental implants in Howard Beach.
Dental implants are often considered the best option for teeth restoration and for individuals who are looking for a permanent fix because they don’t just fill in the gaps in your smile; they protect and support the entire structure.
Here are some other benefits of dental implants:
Once the implants are installed and your gums have healed, that’s it. You can treat your dental implants as the rest of your teeth, forgetting they’re even there.

If there’s something we’ve learned in our 20 years of experience, it’s that everything goes better when patients know exactly what to expect, so here’s how our dental implant procedure works at DPI Dental so you can make your decision fully informed.
We’ll take a look at your mouth using advanced imaging to check the state of your teeth. We will also talk about your goals and what you expect from the procedure and will then determine whether you’re a good candidate for it.
We’ll make a more thorough scan of your mouth and the area where the tooth replacement will be placed. We’ll then design the implant so that it fits exactly how it should, where it should.
Everything, from the implant rods and connectors to the final dental crown, will be made to fit your mouth perfectly so that it lasts a long time.
Once you’re ready, we place the small titanium post directly into the jawbone, right where your missing tooth used to be. We do this under local anesthesia to guarantee you don’t feel a thing.
Once the implant is set, we’ll place a healing cap to protect the area while the implant fuses with the jawbone. This can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on the patient.
Once you’re fully healed, we’ll place the final, permanent piece.
We’ll attach the last piece, which will be a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture, depending on what you needed. This dental implant is made to look and feel just like your natural teeth, so once it’s in, you won’t even know it’s there.
We make sure your implant fits perfectly and your bite is comfortable, and as with our other procedures, we’ll be available for long-term support.
Once your body has healed and the dental crown has been attached, all you have to do to protect your dental implants is keep your mouth clean. Just like with your regular teeth, you should brush and floss every day, avoid chewing on hard things, and come in for regular checkups.
We’re here for the long haul to protect your smile, answer your questions, and help you keep your teeth healthy for a long time.
If you’re missing a tooth or you’re unhappy with your dentures, dental implants can make a huge difference in your life, and in Howard Beach, there are no better dental implant specialists than us, DPI Dental.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
