Implant Dentistry
Dental implants represent the most advanced and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures or traditional bridges that rely on neighboring teeth for support, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, replicating the function and feel of a natural tooth root. The result is a restoration that looks, feels, and performs like the real thing, with the stability and longevity that no other replacement option can match.
At Bensonhurst Dental Care, implant dentistry is led by Dr. Geoffrey Rubinshtein, a board-certified periodontist who completed his Doctorate of Dental Surgery and Post Graduate Program in Periodontics at NYU. Dr. Geoffrey brings a unique combination of surgical precision and genuine patient-centered care to every implant case. Whether a patient needs a single tooth implant, multiple implants, or a complete full arch restoration, Dr. Geoffrey tailors the treatment plan to the individual's anatomy, health, and goals.
Successful implant placement depends on more than surgical skill. It requires a thorough understanding of bone quality, soft tissue health, and long-term biomechanics. Bensonhurst Dental Care offers the full scope of supporting procedures in-house, including bone grafting, sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, and socket preservation, ensuring that patients who need preparatory work before implant placement can receive it seamlessly within the same practice. Advanced planning through guided implant surgery further enhances precision, predictability, and outcomes.
For patients seeking the fastest path to a complete smile, immediate load implants make it possible to place implants and attach provisional teeth in a single visit. And for cases where previous implant work has not met expectations, implant revisions allow Dr. Geoffrey to evaluate, correct, and restore function and confidence. From the simplest single-tooth case to the most complex full-mouth reconstruction, implant dentistry at Bensonhurst Dental Care is defined by expertise, precision, and results that change lives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants represent the most advanced and permanent solution available for replacing missing teeth. Unlike traditional options, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, effectively replicating the function and feel of a natural tooth root. This structure provides a foundation for a restoration that looks, feels, and performs like a real tooth, offering a level of stability and longevity that other replacement methods cannot match.
Why Select Dental Implants Over More Traditional Types Of Restorations?
We recommend implants because they offer a level of independence and health preservation that dentures or traditional bridges do not. While bridges often rely on neighboring teeth for support—which can require grinding down healthy tooth structure—implants are self-supporting. Because they integrate with the jawbone, they help maintain bone density and prevent the facial sagging often associated with tooth loss. Whether you need a single tooth replacement or a complete full arch restoration, implants provide a "real-feel" stability that restores your quality of life.
Can people with autoimmune disease get dental implants?
Successful implant placement depends on a thorough understanding of an individual's unique health profile and anatomy. While autoimmune diseases can impact the body's healing process and the integration of the implant with the bone, it does not necessarily disqualify a patient. We evaluate each case individually, looking at bone quality and soft tissue health. For patients who may have complications, we offer advanced preparatory procedures such as bone grafting, sinus lifts, and guided implant surgery to enhance predictability and ensure the best possible outcome.
How painful is getting a dental implant?
Our approach to implant surgery is defined by precision and patient-centered care. We utilize advanced planning and modern surgical techniques to make the procedure as seamless and comfortable as possible. Most patients are surprised to find that the discomfort is minimal and easily managed with standard post-operative care. For those seeking the fastest path to a new smile, we even offer immediate load implants, which allow us to place the implant and attach provisional teeth in a single visit, minimizing the overall time spent in the chair.
What is the biggest problem with dental implants?
The biggest challenge with dental implants is usually the health of the surrounding environment, such as insufficient bone density or gum disease, which can lead to implant failure if not addressed. This is why we focus heavily on the "foundation" of the implant. If previous implant work from another provider has failed or not met expectations, we offer implant revisions. By evaluating and correcting biomechanical or biological issues, we can restore both function and confidence even in complex cases where the initial restoration was problematic.
