What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post that’s surgically placed into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant fuses with the bone — a process called osseointegration that takes 3 to 6 months — a custom porcelain crown is attached on top. The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth: you can chew anything, smile without hiding, and care for it just like the teeth around it.
Unlike removable dentures or fixed bridges, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support and don’t slip when you talk or eat. They’re the modern gold standard for tooth replacement — and at Eco Dental NY, we place them right in our Sheepshead Bay office without sending you to specialists across Brooklyn or Manhattan.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants in Brooklyn?
Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are excellent candidates for implants. During your free consultation at our Brooklyn 11229 office, Dr. Natalia will review your medical history, take a 3D scan of your jaw, and confirm you have enough healthy bone to anchor the implant securely.
- Missing one or more teeth — implants replace single teeth, multiple teeth in a row, or a full arch.
- Tired of a loose denture — implant-supported dentures snap into place and stay put when you eat and talk.
- Cracked or failing tooth — instead of patching with another crown or root canal, replace the tooth completely.
- Lost a tooth from injury or extraction — implants prevent the jawbone from shrinking after a tooth loss.
- Want a permanent fix — unlike bridges that may need replacing every 10 to 15 years, well-cared-for implants can last a lifetime.
- Have adequate bone density — and if you don’t, we offer bone grafting to build up the implant site before placement.
- Generally healthy — most chronic conditions don’t disqualify you. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes can slow healing, but they’re not automatic exclusions.
The dental implant process at Eco Dental NY
Here’s exactly what happens from your first call to your finished smile. Most cases follow this 5-step process; complex situations may add bone grafting or sinus lift procedures before step 3.
Step 1: Free consultation & 3D imaging
Call (718) 368-3368 or book online for a no-cost evaluation. We take a 3D cone-beam scan, check bone density and gum health, review your medical history, and verify your insurance coverage in real time.
Step 2: Written treatment plan & financing
You leave with a printed estimate listing every cost — implant, abutment, crown, any bone graft, anesthesia. We submit pre-authorizations to your insurance and discuss CareCredit financing options so you know exactly what you’ll pay before saying yes.
Step 3: Implant placement (the surgery)
On surgery day, Dr. Natalia numbs the area with local anesthesia (sedation available for anxious patients) and places the titanium implant into the jawbone. The procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes per implant. Most patients drive home the same afternoon with mild over-the-counter pain relief.
Step 4: Healing & osseointegration
For the next 3 to 6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone. You wear a temporary crown or denture during this time so your smile stays full. We check in at 6 weeks and again at 3 months.
Step 5: Custom crown placement
Once the implant has fully integrated, we attach the abutment (the connector) and your final custom porcelain crown. We color-match the crown to your existing teeth so the result is invisible. You leave that day with a fully functional, natural-looking tooth.
Types of dental implants we offer
Not every missing-tooth situation is the same. We tailor the implant solution to your case:
Single-tooth implant
For one missing tooth. One implant + one custom crown. Used when neighboring teeth are healthy — no need to file them down for a bridge.
Multi-tooth implant bridge
For 2 to 4 missing teeth in a row. Two implants support a bridge of connected crowns. More affordable than placing individual implants for every tooth, more stable than a removable bridge.
All-on-4 (full-arch implants)
For replacing an entire arch of teeth (upper or lower). Just four strategically-placed implants support a permanent bridge of 12 to 14 teeth. Same-day teeth in many cases — you leave with a temporary full set on the day of surgery. Life-changing for patients who have struggled with full dentures.
Implant-supported dentures (overdentures)
A removable denture that snaps onto 2 to 4 implants. More affordable than All-on-4, vastly more stable than traditional dentures. You can still take the denture out at night for cleaning.
Bone graft / sinus lift (if needed)
If you’ve been missing a tooth for years, the bone in that area may have shrunk. A bone graft rebuilds the site so an implant can be placed safely. Done in-house at our Brooklyn office.
How much does a dental implant cost in Brooklyn?
Honest answer: most patients at Eco Dental NY pay between $2,500 and $5,500 per single-tooth implant, including the implant post, abutment, and custom porcelain crown. All-on-4 full-arch cases typically run $20,000 to $30,000 per arch. Final cost depends on several factors:
- Number of teeth being replaced — single vs. multi vs. full arch
- Bone graft or sinus lift — needed for sites where bone has shrunk
- Implant brand — we use clinically-proven systems with documented long-term data
- Crown material — porcelain, zirconia, or hybrid
- Insurance coverage — some plans cover 50% of the crown and abutment; few cover the implant itself
- Sedation level — local anesthesia is standard; IV sedation costs more
We accept Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, 1199SEIU, GHI, Anthem, EmblemHealth, DentaQuest, Healthplex, Humana, Principal, Sun Life and several more — view the full list or call (718) 368-3368 to verify your specific plan.

Dental implant FAQs
How long does dental implant surgery take?
A single-tooth implant placement typically takes 60 to 90 minutes in the chair. Multi-tooth or All-on-4 cases run longer — usually 2 to 4 hours per arch. Most patients drive themselves home the same afternoon with local anesthesia; we offer IV sedation if you’d prefer to sleep through the procedure.
Is getting a dental implant painful?
The actual surgery is painless — we use local anesthesia (and sedation if requested), so you won’t feel anything. Most patients report mild soreness afterward, manageable with over-the-counter ibuprofen for 2 to 3 days. The discomfort is usually less than a tooth extraction.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a well-placed dental implant can last a lifetime. The titanium post itself doesn’t decay. The porcelain crown on top may need replacing after 15 to 20 years due to normal wear, similar to natural teeth.
How long is the recovery from implant surgery?
The initial healing — when you can return to normal eating and activities — takes about 7 to 14 days. The deeper bone integration (osseointegration), where the implant fuses with the jawbone, takes 3 to 6 months. You’ll wear a temporary tooth during this time, so you won’t be without a smile.
Can I get a dental implant the same day my tooth is extracted?
In many cases, yes — this is called immediate implant placement, and it’s possible when the surrounding bone is healthy and there’s no active infection. Dr. Natalia will determine candidacy during your consultation. Immediate placement saves you a separate surgery and several months of healing time.
Do you accept my insurance for dental implants?
We accept 18 major dental insurance plans — including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife, UnitedHealthcare, 1199SEIU, GHI, Anthem, EmblemHealth, DentaQuest, Healthplex, Humana, Principal Financial, Sun Life, AmeriGroup, Ameritas, and Careington. Most plans cover at least a portion of the crown and abutment; few cover the implant post itself. Call (718) 368-3368 to verify your specific benefits.
What if my insurance doesn’t cover the full cost?
We offer CareCredit financing — interest-free promotional periods (6, 12, or 18 months) on qualifying balances, plus longer-term plans with manageable monthly payments. We’ll print a written estimate showing your insurance contribution, CareCredit options, and total out-of-pocket cost before you commit to anything.

Do you speak Russian / Polish / Ukrainian for implant consultations?
Yes. Dr. Natalia is multilingual, and our team speaks English, Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Uzbek. Many of our implant patients come from Sheepshead Bay’s Russian-speaking community, and we make sure you can ask every question about surgery, anesthesia, healing, and cost in your native language.
