Dental Implants in NYC — Permanent. Natural-Looking. Built to Last
Replace missing teeth with implants that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. At Smile Creators Dental in Midtown Manhattan, Dr. Shimanov has placed hundreds of implants — and every case is evaluated personally, not rushed.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that's placed into your jawbone where a tooth is missing. Once it bonds with the bone — a process called osseointegration — a custom crown is attached on top. The result looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don't rely on neighboring teeth for support, and they prevent the bone loss that happens when a tooth goes unreplaced.
The three parts of a dental implant
The implant post — titanium root that fuses with your jawbone
The abutment — connector piece between the post and the crown
The crown — the visible tooth, custom-made to match your natural teeth
Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with one or more missing teeth are good candidates. The key requirements are healthy gums and enough bone density to support the implant post. Dr. Shimanov evaluates every patient with a full exam and digital imaging before recommending treatment — because the right answer depends on your specific mouth, not a general checklist.
Implants may be right for you if
-
You have one or more missing teeth
-
Your gums are healthy or can be treated
-
You want a permanent solution — not a removable one
-
You want to preserve your jawbone long-term
-
You're looking for results that look and feel completely natural
We'll also discuss alternatives if implants aren't the right fit
Not every patient is immediately ready for implants. If bone grafting or other prep work is needed first, we'll explain that clearly — and walk you through all your options.
What to Expect: The Implant Process at Smile Creators Dental

Consultation & Imaging — Dr. Shimanov examines your teeth, gums, and bone with digital X-rays. You'll get a clear treatment plan and full cost breakdown before anything is scheduled.
-
Implant Placement — The titanium post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Most patients are surprised by how straightforward the procedure feels.
-
Healing Period — The implant bonds with your bone over 3–6 months. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.

Crown Placement — Once healed, your custom crown is attached. This is your final, permanent tooth.
Total timeline: 3–6 months from consultation to final crown, depending on your specific case.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in NYC?
A single dental implant in NYC typically ranges from $3,500–$6,000, which includes the implant post, abutment, and crown. The final cost depends on your specific case — number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed, and the materials used.
