Getting dental implants in Esopus, NY follows a proven process designed to give you the best possible outcome with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Your journey starts with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Kupetz examines your mouth, takes digital X-rays, and discusses your goals. We’ll explain exactly what’s involved, how long the process takes, and what you can expect at each stage. No surprises, no pressure—just clear information so you can make the right decision for your situation.
The implant placement itself is typically done in our office under local anesthesia. The titanium implant—essentially a small, biocompatible screw—is placed into your jawbone where the tooth root used to be. Over the next few months, your bone naturally fuses with the implant through a process called osseointegration, creating an incredibly strong foundation.
Once the implant has integrated, Dr. Kupetz attaches your custom crown. The entire process usually takes three to six months from start to finish, but you’ll have temporary solutions to maintain your smile throughout treatment. The result is a permanent tooth that functions exactly like your natural teeth and can last a lifetime with proper care.
