Single Tooth & Bridge Replacement
Natural-looking permanent solutions for missing teeth
The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth
A single tooth dental implant replaces a missing tooth from root to crown. The implant itself is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone and acts as an artificial tooth root. A custom porcelain crown is then attached to restore your smile.
For multiple adjacent missing teeth, implant-supported bridges provide a fixed solution without requiring implants for every tooth. Two implants can support 3-4 replacement teeth, offering stability superior to traditional bridges.
Dr. Antipov uses advanced 3D imaging and digital surgical guides to ensure precise implant placement for optimal aesthetics, function, and longevity.

Precision & Expertise
Dr. Antipov completed advanced fellowship training in complex implant reconstruction at NYU Langone. He uses cutting-edge technology including CBCT 3D imaging and computer-guided surgery for exceptional precision and predictability.
Natural Aesthetics
Every implant crown is custom-designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and translucency. The result is so natural, even you'll forget it's not your original tooth.
The Implant Process
From consultation to final crown, typically 4-6 months
Consultation & 3D Imaging
1 hourComprehensive examination with CBCT scan to evaluate bone quality, sinus position, and nerve location. We'll discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
Bone Grafting (If Needed)
3-6 months healingIf bone volume is insufficient, we perform bone grafting to create a solid foundation. This step may add 3-6 months to the timeline but ensures long-term implant success.
Implant Placement
1 hourA titanium implant is precisely placed into the jawbone using digital surgical guides. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and return to normal activities within 2-3 days.
Healing & Osseointegration
3-4 monthsOver 3-4 months, the implant fuses with your bone. During this time, you'll wear a temporary crown so there's no gap in your smile.
Custom Crown Placement
2-3 weeksAfter healing is complete, we create a custom porcelain crown matched to your natural teeth in color, shape, and size. The result is indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
