Your Implant Dentist Near Colonie, NY

Most general dentists offer implants alongside cleanings, fillings, and everything else. Implant placement might happen a few times a month in those offices. When it’s all a practice does, the team builds instincts that come from repetition. Reading tricky bone situations, adjusting angles during surgery, knowing when a case needs grafting versus when angled placement will work.

See Your Treatment Plan Before You Commit

We take 3D CT scans before planning anything. You’ll see your jawbone on screen, where the nerves run, and exactly where each implant will sit. Patients from Latham, Loudonville, and throughout the Colonie area tell us they like having the full picture before making a decision.

From One Missing Tooth to a Full Smile

Single Tooth Implant

A single implant fills the gap without grinding down the healthy teeth on either side. The titanium post integrates with your jawbone over a few months, then we attach a custom crown matched to your surrounding teeth. Once it’s placed, you care for it like any other tooth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

If your current dentures slip during meals or need adhesive to stay put, implant-supported dentures change that. Two to six posts anchor the denture in place. You still remove it at night for cleaning, but during the day it stays secure. Patients who’ve dealt with traditional dentures for years say the difference is immediate.

All-on-4 Full Arch Implants

Four strategically angled implants support a complete set of upper or lower teeth. This approach often eliminates the need for bone grafting and can give you same-day teeth. You walk in with failing or missing teeth and leave with a functional set while the permanent restoration is being made.

What to Expect During Your Implant Treatment

Getting dental implants takes a few months from start to finish. Here’s what each phase involves.

Evaluation and Imaging

Your first visit includes a 3D scan, a full exam, and a conversation about your goals. Dr. Shraga reviews the images with you and identifies whether you need any prep work before placement. You leave with a treatment plan and cost breakdown. No pressure to decide on the spot.

Placement

The post goes into your jawbone where the missing tooth was. Digital imaging guides exact positioning. Most patients compare it to having a tooth pulled. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable, and sedation is available if dental work makes you anxious.

Healing

Your bone grows around the implant over three to six months, locking the post in place permanently. You may have a temporary tooth or healing cap during this time so you’re never without a smile.

Final Restoration

Once healed, we attach your permanent crown, bridge, or denture, designed to match your natural teeth in shape and shade. You eat, brush, and floss normally from that point on.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have enough bone for implants?

The 3D scan at your consultation shows exactly what we’re working with. If bone has thinned since you lost teeth, grafting can rebuild that foundation. Angled placement, the approach used in All-on-4, also works around areas of lower density. We’ll show you the images and walk through your options together.

What happens if an implant doesn’t integrate?

It’s rare. Success rates run above 95 percent. If a post doesn’t fuse with the bone properly, we remove it, let the area heal, and place a new one. There’s no additional charge for the replacement at our practice.

Most Colonie dentists offer implants. What makes a focused practice different?

General offices in Colonie handle cleanings, fillings, crowns, and implants all under the same roof. That means implants might be a small part of their caseload. We place over 1,500 a year, which means we’ve seen more bone loss situations, more complex cases, and more patients who were turned away elsewhere.

Can I get same-day teeth if I need a full arch replaced?

All-on-4 patients often leave with a functional set of teeth the same day as surgery. For single implants, temporary options depend on which tooth you’re replacing and your healing timeline. Either way, we plan ahead so you’re never walking around with a visible gap.

Will I need to take time off work after getting implants?

Most people take a day or two. Some go back to work the next day depending on how many implants were placed and how they feel. We’ll give you a clear recovery timeline at your consultation so you can plan ahead.
