Dental Implants

A Natural Fit and Feel

During implant placement, Dr. Feldstein embeds the small titanium dental implants into the jawbone. In time, they actually become part of the bone structure, meaning your restoration will look and feel like a natural tooth.

A Better Functioning Result

A Healthier Smile

Implant-supported restorations mimic the function of tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone, and preventing bone recession. Implants can keep your remaining natural teeth from shifting and prevent a sunken facial appearance, so you look younger and healthier. 

During your consultation at our office, we can take digital x-rays and scans of your jaw to assess your candidacy for traditional implants or All-on-4® implants. Dr. Feldstein can also sit down with you to discuss your medical history, as well as your preferences and budget for treatment. 

If there is any reason implants are not right for you, we can likely address the issue at our office. The doctor will weigh factors like:

Jawbone Density

Dental implants rely on surrounding tissue for support, so you need sufficient bone in your jaw to receive implants. Dr. Feldstein provides bone grafts and sinus lifts at our Queens, NY, practice to restore your implant candidacy.

Gum Health

In addition to a strong jawbone, you need healthy gums for successful implant results. Dr. Feldstein is a member of the American Academy of Periodontics, meaning he provides comprehensive treatment to improve your gum health.

Overall Health

Diabetes and other medical issues can interfere with your body’s ability to heal after surgery. Be sure to discuss your full medical history with Dr. Feldstein so he can identify any potential issues and adjust your treatment plan.

Lifestyle Issues

Smoking limits your body’s natural healing ability and can increase the risk of implant failure. We recommend you quit using any type of tobacco if you do.

In a straightforward case, Dr. Feldstein can perform a complete implant treatment, including placement and restoration, for $2,500. However, there are a variety of factors that can affect your final treatment cost.

Number of Implants

At Jewel Dental Associates, a single implant typically costs $900, not including the restoration. However, if you need to replace multiple teeth, you will likely need more than one implant, increasing your overall cost.

Type of Restoration

While Dr. Feldstein can replace a single missing tooth with a dental crown, more extensive tooth loss will require a larger restoration. Crowns typically cost at least $800 at our practice. The overall cost of your treatment will also depend on the material used to craft your restoration.

Preliminary Procedures

Patients with gum disease, tissue loss, or other issues may need preparatory procedures to ensure the success of their dental implants. We provide all stages of care at our office, saving you the cost and hassle of referrals. However, these treatments will add to your final price. You may be able to avoid preliminary procedures with All-on-4 dental implants, depending on your tooth loss and degree of bone recession. 

Sedation

For patients who are nervous about their treatment, we offer nitrous oxide to help you relax during the procedure. In general, sedation is an additional cost.

Insurance Coverage

Each insurance provider has different rules about what they will and will not cover. You may receive partial insurance coverage, which can assist with out-of-pocket costs.
