The Gold Standard in Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. At Sunnyside Dental in Queens, Dr. Tatyana Yapport uses these biocompatible posts to create a strong foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges that sit on top of the gums, dental implants fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable, permanent solution for missing teeth while also preserving bone health and facial structure. Whether you're missing a single tooth or need a full-mouth restoration, our implant solutions can be customized to meet your specific needs.

Implant-Supported Dentures
Secure full or partial dentures with strategically placed implants for improved stability, comfort, and function compared to traditional removable dentures.
Bone Grafting
Build up insufficient jawbone to create a solid foundation for dental implants, making implant treatment possible for patients who might otherwise not be candidates.

The Dental Implant Process at Sunnyside Dental
Dr. Yapport follows a comprehensive approach to ensure successful implant placement and restoration
Comprehensive Evaluation
Your journey begins with a thorough examination to assess your oral health, bone density, and suitability for implants. Dr. Yapport will discuss your goals, explain your options, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Implant Placement
Using advanced surgical techniques, Dr. Yapport or a specialist she works with will place the titanium implant posts into your jawbone. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia for your comfort. In some cases, temporary teeth can be placed the same day.
Healing & Integration
Over the next 3-6 months, the implants will fuse with your jawbone through osseointegration, creating a strong foundation for your new teeth. During this time, you may wear temporary restorations so you never have to go without teeth.
Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, Dr. Yapport will place your custom-made, permanent restorations (crowns, bridges, or dentures) onto the implants. These restorations are designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and function, completing your smile transformation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
Find answers to common questions about our dental implant procedures in Sunnyside
Most patients report that dental implant surgery is less uncomfortable than they expected. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and you shouldn't feel any pain during the surgery. Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising may occur during the healing process, but this can be managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain medications. Dr. Yapport and her team at Sunnyside Dental prioritize your comfort throughout the entire process.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post that serves as the artificial tooth root is designed to be a permanent fixture in your jaw. The crown or restoration attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like smoking can significantly extend the lifespan of your implants.
Most adults with good general and oral health are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates have healthy gum tissue, adequate bone density in the jaw to support the implant, and are committed to good oral hygiene practices. Even if you've been told you lack sufficient bone density, procedures like bone grafting may make implants possible. The best way to determine if you're a candidate is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Yapport at our Sunnyside office for a comprehensive evaluation.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed, whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required, and the type of restoration. While dental implants may have a higher initial cost than other tooth replacement options, they often prove to be a better investment in the long run due to their durability and longevity. At Sunnyside Dental, we offer financing options to help make implants more affordable, and we'll work with your insurance to maximize any available benefits.
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing daily, and using an antimicrobial mouthwash. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are essential to monitor the health of your implants and surrounding tissues. Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage to your implant restorations. With proper care, your dental implants can provide a lifetime of beautiful smiles.
