When you lose a tooth, the gap rarely stays just a gap — your bite shifts, the jawbone beneath begins to shrink, and chewing and speaking get harder over time. Dental implants stop that chain reaction. At Corbin Dental in Oyster Bay, NY, implants rebuild the tooth from the root up, giving you a replacement that looks, feels, and works like the tooth you lost.
An implant is a small titanium post placed in the jaw, where it fuses with the bone to form a permanent anchor for a crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration. It’s the only tooth-replacement option that also preserves the bone, which is why so many North Shore patients choose it for the long term.
Knowing what constitutes a dental emergency can help you act quickly. If you experience any of the following, contact our Oyster Bay office without delay:
It begins with imaging and a plan tailored to your jaw and goals. The post is placed and given time to integrate with the bone — the step that gives implants their lasting strength — with sedation available if you’d like to stay relaxed. Once healed, we attach a restoration matched to your natural teeth so it disappears into your smile.
Implants can’t decay, but the gum and bone around them still need attention. Daily brushing and flossing plus regular visits to our Oyster Bay office keep everything healthy — and well-cared-for implants routinely last decades.
Call (516) 922-5888 or book online to find out if implants are right for you.
The post can last a lifetime with good care; the crown on top may need replacement after many years of use.
Placement is done under local anesthesia with sedation available, and most patients find recovery easier than expected.
Most healthy adults with enough jawbone qualify — imaging at your consultation confirms it.
