Long Lasting Dental Implants

Dental implants are the closest thing modern surgery offers to natural teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with full confidence. At Lenox Hill Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Advanced Dental Implants, Dr. Peter Rosa, DDS, MD, FACS, and Dr. Scott Goldstein place implants at our offices in Bayside, Queens and on Manhattan's Upper East Side. We restore smiles for patients across Little Neck, Douglaston, Whitestone, and Flushing, throughout the Upper East Side and Lenox Hill, and from neighboring Nassau County on Long Island. Call (718) 428-8900 to schedule your consultation.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed in the jaw, where it fuses with the bone to act as a replacement tooth root. Once healed, it supports a custom crown, bridge, or full arch of teeth. Because the implant integrates with your bone, it stays firmly in place, preserves the jawbone, and looks and functions like a natural tooth.

Unlike dentures or bridges, implants stand on their own without relying on neighboring teeth. Patients choose implants because they:

• Restore full chewing strength and let you eat what you want
• Look and feel like natural teeth
• Preserve jawbone and prevent the sunken look of missing teeth
• Do not slip, click, or require adhesives
• Can last a lifetime with proper care

Implant Options We Offer

Every case is different, so Dr. Rosa tailors the solution to your needs:

Single Tooth Implants

A single implant and crown replaces one missing tooth without altering the healthy teeth beside it.

Multiple Tooth Implants

Several implants can support a bridge to replace multiple missing teeth in a row.

Full-Arch and All-on-4

For patients missing most or all of their teeth, All-on-4 dental implants and full-arch restoration replace a complete arch on as few as four implants, a secure and permanent alternative to removable dentures.

Same-Day Implants

In select cases, we can place an implant and a temporary tooth in a single visit. Learn more about same-day dental implants.

Consultation and 3D Imaging

Treatment begins with an exam and a cone beam CT scan, which lets Dr. Rosa evaluate your bone and plan placement with precision.

Building the Foundation, If Needed

If you have lost bone in the upper jaw, a sinus lift or bone grafting may be needed first to create a stable base for the implant.

Implant Placement

The implant is placed during a focused, comfortable procedure. Our surgeons use X-Guide dynamic navigation for exceptional accuracy, and IV sedation is available for patients who prefer to be fully relaxed.

Healing and Restoration

Over the following months the implant fuses with your bone. Once healed, your final crown, bridge, or arch is secured in place, completing your restored smile.

Why Choose Lenox Hill Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Placing implants that last takes surgical training and precise planning. Dr. Peter Rosa holds both dental and medical degrees from NYU and is one of the very few oral surgeons in the tri-state area designated a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Both Dr. Rosa and Dr. Goldstein are board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and the practice has restored New York smiles for more than 40 years. With fully digital offices in Bayside and on the Upper East Side, expert implant care is close to home across Queens, Manhattan, and Long Island.

How much do dental implants cost in NYC?

The cost depends on how many implants you need and whether procedures like a sinus lift or bone graft are involved. We provide a clear estimate at your consultation and help you understand your insurance coverage before treatment begins.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene and routine checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may eventually need replacement, but the implant itself is designed to be permanent.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are candidates. If you have experienced bone loss, a sinus lift or bone graft can often rebuild the foundation so implants become possible. A consultation and 3D scan give you a definitive answer.

Can I get implants the same day as my extraction?

In many cases, yes. When conditions allow, an implant can be placed at the time a tooth is removed, and sometimes with a temporary tooth attached. Dr. Rosa will let you know if you are a candidate.

Are dental implants safe?

Yes. Implants are a well-established, highly successful treatment. Placed by a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon using 3D planning, they have an excellent long-term success rate.
