You’re tired of avoiding certain foods. You’re done covering your mouth when you laugh. You want to feel normal again when you’re talking to people.
Dental implants give you back everything missing teeth took away. You’ll bite into an apple without thinking twice. You’ll speak clearly in meetings. You’ll smile in photos without that split-second hesitation.
The titanium implant becomes part of your jawbone – permanently. It can’t slip, can’t move, can’t embarrass you at the worst possible moment. Your new tooth functions exactly like the one you lost, sometimes even better.
Dr. Scott Kupetz has been helping Crown Heights residents restore their smiles with dental implants that last. Our practice focuses on giving you back the function and confidence that missing teeth stole from you.
Crown Heights families trust Dr. Kupetz because he explains exactly what to expect, walks you through every step, and uses proven techniques that work. No surprises, no overselling – just honest answers about what dental implants can do for your specific situation.
You’re not just getting a tooth replacement. You’re getting your life back.
Your consultation comes first. Dr. Kupetz examines your mouth, takes X-rays, and explains whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants in Crown Heights. He’ll answer your questions about cost, timeline, and what to expect.
During the implant placement, a small titanium post goes into your jawbone where your tooth root used to be. You’ll have a temporary tooth while the implant heals and fuses with your bone – usually 3 to 6 months.
Once healing is complete, your permanent crown gets attached. The whole process typically takes 6 to 8 months, but you’re never without teeth. Most patients say the results were worth every day of the process.

Single tooth implants replace one missing tooth without affecting your healthy teeth. No grinding down adjacent teeth like with bridges – just a direct replacement that preserves your existing smile.
Full mouth dental implants transform your entire smile when you’ve lost multiple teeth. All-on-4 implants can support a complete set of teeth with just four strategically placed implants per arch.
Crown Heights residents choose dental implants because they’re the closest thing to getting your natural teeth back. The implant fuses permanently with your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that happens with missing teeth. Your face keeps its natural shape, your bite stays strong, and you can eat whatever you want.
Dental implant costs in Crown Heights vary based on your specific needs. A single tooth implant typically ranges from $3,000 to $5,000, including the implant, abutment, and crown.
Multiple factors affect pricing: the number of implants you need, whether you require bone grafting, and what type of restoration goes on top. Full mouth reconstruction with implants costs more upfront but often saves money long-term compared to repeatedly replacing dentures or bridges.
We provide detailed cost estimates during your consultation. Many patients find that dental implants actually cost less over time because they can last a lifetime with proper care, unlike other tooth replacement options that need regular replacement.
The titanium implant itself can last your entire lifetime when properly cared for. The crown or restoration on top typically lasts 20 to 30 years before needing replacement.
Your implant’s longevity depends on your oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding or chewing ice. Crown Heights patients who maintain good oral health and see us for regular checkups often keep their implants for decades.
Unlike dentures that need replacement every 5-7 years or bridges that last 10-15 years, dental implants are truly a permanent solution. The initial investment pays off because you’re not constantly replacing or repairing your tooth replacement.
Most Crown Heights patients are surprised by how comfortable the dental implant process is. The implant placement feels similar to having a tooth extracted, and we use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
You might have some swelling and mild discomfort for a few days after surgery, but over-the-counter pain medication usually handles any discomfort. Most patients return to work the next day and resume normal activities within a few days.
The healing process isn’t painful – your implant is quietly fusing with your jawbone while you go about your daily routine. Many patients forget they even have a healing implant because there’s no ongoing pain or discomfort.
Yes, but you’ll need to follow a soft food diet for about two weeks while your implant site heals. After the healing period, you can eat anything you want – including foods you might have avoided with missing teeth.
Dental implants let you bite into apples, chew steak, and eat corn on the cob without worry. Unlike dentures that can slip or bridges that require careful eating, implants function exactly like your natural teeth.
Crown Heights patients often tell us that being able to eat their favorite foods again was one of the best parts of getting dental implants. You won’t need to cut food into tiny pieces or avoid social meals because you’re worried about your teeth.
Caring for dental implants is exactly like caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and see us for your regular cleanings and checkups in Crown Heights.
You don’t need special implant toothpaste or expensive cleaning products. Regular brushing and flossing prevent gum disease around your implant, which is the main threat to implant longevity.
Some Crown Heights patients use a water flosser to clean around their implants, but it’s not required. The key is consistent daily cleaning and professional cleanings every six months. Take care of your implants like natural teeth, and they’ll last just as long.
Most adults with missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants in Crown Heights. You need healthy gums, adequate jawbone to support the implant, and commitment to good oral hygiene.
Age isn’t usually a barrier – we have successfully placed implants in patients from their 20s to their 80s. However, certain medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect healing and implant success.
The best way to know if you’re a candidate is to schedule a consultation. We will examine your mouth, review your medical history, and take X-rays to determine if dental implants are right for your situation in Crown Heights.
