Restore Function and Appearance with Dental Implants

Missing teeth can lead to more than cosmetic concerns; empty sockets can invite infection, cause surrounding teeth to shift and even alter facial structure. Dental implants restore both function and appearance by replacing the entire tooth structure. At Gauri Savant DDS PC in New York City, implants are a standard cosmetic option designed to look and feel like natural teeth.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

  • Preserve Oral Health – Unaddressed gaps increase the risk of infection and misalignment; implants prevent these complications.


  • Natural Look and Feel – When topped with a custom dental crown, implants blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth.


  • Protect Facial Structure – Implants help maintain bone density and prevent the sunken facial appearance that can occur after tooth loss.


  • Customized Solutions – The practice tailors implants to each patient’s needs, serving those in New York and beyond

The Dental Implant Process: Step-by-Step Overview

  • Candidacy Evaluation – Schedule an appointment to determine if your gums and jawbone are healthy enough for implants.


  • Treat Underlying Issues – Cavities or gum disease must be addressed before implant placement.


  • Dental Impressions – The team takes detailed impressions to craft a synthetic tooth that matches the size, shape and color of your natural teeth.


  • Placing the Post – A metal post is inserted under the gum line and secured to the jawbone. Over several months the post fuses with bone, creating a durable root.


  • Attaching the Crown – Once healed, a custom crown is attached to the post. The final result allows patients to eat freely and maintain an active lifestyle without fear of looseness or slippage.


The team ensures each step is done correctly for a comfortable, functional outcome

Essential Tips for Dental Implant Care

  • Durability – Implants are secured with a synthetic root system; they will not fall out or become loose.


  • Routine Hygiene – Brush and floss as usual and schedule professional cleanings at least twice a year.


  • Monitor Oral Health – While implants themselves cannot become infected, surrounding teeth and gums can. Gum disease or abscesses may compromise the jawbone that holds the implant.


  • Seek Prompt Care – If you experience pain or notice any issues, call the office immediately to protect your implants and natural teeth.

"I've been a patient of Dr Savant for over 20 years. I first visited her when I moved to NYC and was looking for someone I could depend on and now I'm still visiting her twice a year for all my dental needs. My wife now is a patient and so are both our children (17 &19). She is always so friendly, a great communicator and continues to make our dental visits something we don't dread...and that's saying a LOT!!!!"

Dental Implants FAQ

  • What are dental implants?

    Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. Made from titanium, implants fuse with the bone over time, providing a stable and durable foundation for a natural-looking tooth replacement.

  • Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

    Good candidates for dental implants are individuals who have healthy gums, sufficient bone density, and are in overall good health. If you have missing teeth due to decay, injury, or other reasons, dental implants may be an ideal solution. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health to determine if implants are right for you.

  • How long does the dental implant procedure take?

    The dental implant procedure typically takes several months to complete. The process involves multiple stages: implant placement, healing and bone integration, and attaching the artificial tooth. Most patients experience a healing period of 3-6 months, though the exact timeline depends on the complexity of the case and individual healing.

  • Are dental implants painful?

    While the procedure for dental implants involves surgery, most patients report minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia is used during the implant placement, and after the procedure, any discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Your dentist will provide instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

  • How long do dental implants last?

    With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant itself is highly durable and integrates with the jawbone, while the replacement tooth or crown may need to be replaced every 10-15 years due to wear. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are essential to ensuring the longevity of your implants.
