Dental implants are the “gold standard” for replacing missing teeth, and Dr. DeSantis is one of the leading providers of this innovative restorative technique both on Staten Island and in the greater New York area. He delivers extensive specialized experience in implant dentistry, and works with you personally through every step of treatment.

Today’s dental implants are typically made of titanium and are placed into the jawbone and allowed to heal until they are "integrated" into the bone. Dental implants may be utilized to replace one, many or all of a patient’s teeth. As a result, you’ll be able to eat, smile, laugh and talk with the same comfort and confidence you enjoyed with your natural teeth.

Do you wear dentures?
As a result of extensive decay and/or periodontal (gum) disease, many people have resorted to dentures to replace their natural teeth. However, over time the jawbone continues to shrink and successfully wearing dentures becomes more and more of a challenge. In these cases, Dr. DeSantis may recommend dental implants to stabilize the denture and prevent your jawbone from excessive shrinking.

Are you missing one or more teeth?
If you are missing one or more teeth, you should consult Dr. DeSantis. Depending on the number of missing teeth, the condition of the remaining teeth and your age, motivation and desire, the best replacement for missing teeth may be dental implants, implant-supported crowns/bridges, or another solution. Dr. DeSantis can thoroughly evaluate your situation and provide a customized treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
