Dental Implants in Ardsley, NY
We are proud to offer dental implants at Ardsley Dental Spa in Ardsley, NY . Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth, replacing both the root and the visible tooth to restore your smile, your ability to eat and speak comfortably, and your confidence. With an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a periodontist on our team, we provide complete implant care, from bone grafting to your final restoration, all in one office.
Book OnlineWhat Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible post placed in the jawbone that acts as an artificial tooth root. Once it fuses with the bone, it can support a permanent crown, a bridge, or a removable denture. Because implants are anchored in the jaw, they look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- A natural-looking, confident smile
- Easier, more comfortable chewing
- Clearer speech without slipping dentures
- Preservation of jawbone and facial structure
- No need to alter healthy neighboring teeth
- A permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care
Missing or damaged teeth can be embarrassing and can affect your oral health. Replacing them prevents neighboring teeth from shifting and helps protect your bite. Learn more about why it is important to replace missing teeth.
Implant Options We Offer
- Single-tooth implants: an implant topped with a custom porcelain crown.
- Implant-supported bridges: replace several missing teeth in a row without relying on natural teeth.
- Implant-supported dentures: secure fixed or removable dentures that will not slip.

Dental Implants FAQs
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with healthy gums and adequate jawbone are candidates. If you have bone loss, a bone graft or sinus lift may make implants possible.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and regular checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Does getting a dental implant hurt?
Implant placement is performed with local anesthesia, and most patients report less discomfort than expected. Mild soreness afterward is usually managed with over-the-counter medication.
How long does the implant process take?
The full process typically takes several months, allowing time for the implant to fuse with the jawbone before the final restoration is placed.
Who places dental implants at your office?
Oral surgeon Dr. Cameron Lewis and periodontist Dr. Sid Tucker place implants, and our restorative dentists design and place your final crown, bridge, or denture.
Can implants replace all of my teeth?
Yes. Implants can support full-arch bridges or dentures to replace an entire upper or lower set of teeth.
Do you offer financing for dental implants?
Yes. We offer financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, and AFP, plus a dental implant consultation special.
