Dental Implants Expert Implant Dentistry by DPI Dental for Natural Looking, Lasting Results
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.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
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:
- People who have lost one or more teeth
- People who wear dentures and want a more permanent solution
- People whose teeth are so badly damaged that other treatments won’t work
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.
Benefits of Dental Implants
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:
- Dental implants can keep your jawbone healthy by stopping bone loss born from missing teeth.
- Dental implants can restore teeth function, allowing you to eat, chew, and talk normally.
- Dental implants look and work exactly as regular teeth.
- Unlike bridges, dental implants don’t need nearby teeth to attach to your mouth.
- Dental implants offer long-term durability and can last for decades.
- Dental implants are easy to clean and care for, as they don’t need to be treated any differently than regular teeth.
- Because they look, feel, and act just like natural teeth, dental implants can help restore the confidence of the people who need them.
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.

What to Expect from a Dental Implant Procedure
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.
First Consultation
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.
Design
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.
Implant Placement
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.
Healing and Integration
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.
Final Restoration
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.
Last Check and Follow-Up
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.
Tips for Aftercare and Maintenance
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.
