DENTAL IMPLANTS

TRANSFORM YOUR SMILE

THE BEST DENTAL IMPLANTS IN CENTRAL NEW YORK

Dental implants offer more than a replacement for missing teeth—they restore chewing strength, help preserve bone health, and provide a natural-looking smile. During implant treatment, Dr. Burke places a titanium implant into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a strong, stable foundation for a crown or larger prosthesis. The result is a secure replacement that won’t slip or require messy adhesives, giving you greater confidence in your smile and everyday comfort.

Dr. Burke utilizes a fully digital workflow, including computer-guided implant surgery and 3D printing technology for crowns and prostheses, to provide precise, efficient treatment tailored to each patient. Because every patient and case is unique, your treatment plan will be based on your individual needs. In some cases, teeth can be extracted, implants placed, and the restoration completed in a single day, while other situations may require staged procedures. Dr. Burke will discuss your options and recommend the approach that is best suited to you.

We offer a variety of implant sizes, including standard, mini, narrow-diameter, and oversize implants, allowing us to accommodate a wide range of needs. No matter your situation, dental implants can provide a natural-looking smile, improved oral health, speech, comfort, and function, while offering exceptional durability and helping protect against bone loss in the jaw.

DO I NEED DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Are Your Teeth Getting in the Way of Your Life?

Healthy Gums & Periodontal Health

A strong foundation requires healthy gums. Before getting dental implants, your gums must be free from active periodontal disease. Healthy tissues ensure a secure fit and successful, long-lasting healing around the implant post.

Jawbone Density & Volume

Sufficient jawbone volume is key. Dental implants need enough healthy jawbone to anchor into securely. If you've experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, advanced dental surgery options like bone grafting can often rebuild the support you need.

Systemic Health Conditions

Your medical history tells the whole story. Certain systemic conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, can affect how your body heals. We review your health history carefully to ensure implants are a safe and predictable option for you.

Overall Physical Health & Habits

Healing power makes all the difference. Good general physical health—along with lifestyle habits like being a non-smoker—greatly improves your body's ability to fuse with the implant and recover smoothly.

Unsure if you’re a candidate? Don’t worry! Every smile is unique. We evaluate all of these factors during a comprehensive, no-pressure consultation using advanced 3D imaging to determine the exact path forward for your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a single dental implant and All-on-X?

A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth using a titanium post and a custom crown. All-on-X(often called All-on-4) is an advanced full-arch solution that replaces an entire upper or lower row of teeth using just a strategic number of implants (usually four or more) to anchor a permanent, full set of replacement teeth.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost of dental implants varies depending on your unique needs, such as whether you need a single tooth replacement, multiple implants, or a full-arch solution like All-on-X. During your consultation, we provide a transparent, personalized breakdown of your treatment plan and discuss flexible financing options to help fit your budget. How long does the dental implant process take? Because every smile is unique, timelines vary. The full process—from initial consultation and placement to final restoration—typically takes anywhere from a few months to several months. This waiting period is essential to allow the implant post to fully and securely fuse with your jawbone (osseointegration), ensuring a strong, permanent foundation.

Does the dental implant procedure hurt?

Patient comfort is our top priority. The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, and we offer sedation dentistry options to ensure you are completely relaxed and pain-free. Most patients report that the recovery process is much easier than they expected, often comparing it to a simple tooth extraction.

What does the recovery process look like?

Initial healing typically takes a few days to a week, during which you might experience mild swelling or soreness that can easily be managed with medication. Full healing—where the bone securely fuses to the implant (osseointegration)—takes a few months, after which your final, permanent teeth or crown will be attached.

Am I a candidate for All-on-X if I have bone loss?

Often, yes! One of the biggest advantages of All-on-X procedures is that the implants are placed at specific angles to maximize contact with existing jawbone density. This frequently eliminates the need for extensive bone grafting, making it a great option even for patients who have experienced some bone loss.

How do I take care of my dental implants?

Caring for dental implants is remarkably simple because they function just like natural teeth! You maintain them with regular brushing twice a day, daily flossing (or using specialized interdental brushes and water flossers for All-on-X bridges), and routine professional cleanings and checkups with our team to keep your gums healthy.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent, lifelong solution for missing teeth. While the crown or restoration may experience normal wear over the years and need eventual replacement or maintenance, the titanium implant post itself can easily last a lifetime with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
