Losing a tooth is unsettling. Around here, we get that. At Smith Haven Dental, our Nesconset dental implant restorations aren’t a high-pressure pitch or a rushed appointment. They’re a conversation, a plan, and a path back to the old you.
When you walk in, you’ll be greeted by the same friendly faces who know how to put you at ease. We’ll talk about your goals, schedule, and budget, because real life matters as much as great dentistry. And if dental implants turn out to be the right move for you, we’ll work closely with trusted local specialists for the surgical placement, then bring you right back here for the custom restoration that completes your smile.
Dental implants are the closest thing dentistry has to giving you back a natural tooth. They’re tiny titanium posts placed in the jawbone where a missing tooth once lived. Over time, the implant bonds with the bone, creating a sturdy foundation for a custom-made dental crown, the part we craft and place for you here at Smith Haven Dental.
We assess your mouth with 3D scans, perform preliminary treatments, and make a game plan.
Some factors:
However, in many cases, we can get your mouth ready for implants.
A trusted local surgical partner places a post in your jawbone. We’ll coordinate with them.
The oral surgeon will use a local anesthetic and sedation to numb and relax you. You may feel pressure, not pain, during placement.
Over a few months, the implant becomes part of your jawbone. We’ll check in to keep everything on track.
We can provide a temporary solution so that you have a unified smile while you heal.
Our St. James dentist attaches a crown that matches your smile so well that even your loved ones may not notice.
Decades, if not a lifetime. Your restoration may need to be replaced, but the implant post is remarkably durable.

Sure, a missing tooth changes how your smile looks, but the ripple effects go beyond that. Other teeth can start shifting, trying to fill the space. The jawbone beneath the gap can shrink. Chewing can get tricky. Even speaking can feel different. Dental implants:
Some smiles need behind-the-scenes reinforcement before getting a dental implant in Long Island. Bone grafting adds strength to areas where the jawbone has thinned over time. It’s like preparing soil before planting something important. You’re setting the stage for a strong, long-lasting result.
At Smith Haven Dental, we make bone grafting as comfortable and straightforward as possible, and we’ll let you know if it’s recommended long before treatment begins. We plan everything, down to the smallest detail.
From same-day crowns to 3D printing, we use the latest tech to make visits faster, easier, and more precise. But don’t worry, we never lose that old-fashioned personal touch.
You don’t have to power through anxiety. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help you feel calm, relaxed, and in control throughout your visit. It’s safe, quick, and wears off fast, so you can get on with your day.
With over 40 years of combined experience, we bring expertise and heart to every patient we see. Modern dentistry with old-fashioned values? That’s us, and we can’t wait to show you the difference.
We know implants can feel like a big decision. We make sure you land on the tooth replacement option that works best for you. Smith Haven Dental is right here in Nesconset when you need us, doing what we do best: providing warm, modern care for real people with real lives.
