If you’ve been dealing with missing teeth or struggling with dentures that don’t stay put, implants offer something better. They’re anchored in your jawbone, so they don’t slip, don’t require adhesive, and don’t put stress on surrounding teeth.
Dr. Shraga has placed over 1,500 implants a year for 15 years. That track record is why patients from Glens Falls and the surrounding area choose our practice over closer options.

Oral surgeons do a lot of different work. Wisdom teeth, jaw surgery, trauma repair. Implants are part of what they offer, but not the main focus. When tooth replacement is all you do, you naturally see more bone loss situations, more complex cases, and more patients who need something beyond the standard approach.
We take 3D CT scans before treatment to get a clear picture of your jaw. You’ll see where the bone is strong, where nerves are located, and how each implant will be positioned. Patients from the Glens Falls area often tell us they like having everything handled in one place rather than going to multiple offices for different parts of the process.
Losing one tooth might not seem urgent, but the teeth around it will gradually shift to fill the gap. A single implant keeps everything in place. The post bonds with your jawbone over a few months, and then a custom crown completes the restoration.
For patients with most teeth missing or failing, All-on-4 implants offer a full-arch solution. Four implants are angled to maximize available bone. In many cases, you can walk out with a temporary set of teeth the same day.
We see patients from Bolton Landing, Warrensburg, and throughout the Lake George area who want to minimize trips. Same-day teeth aren’t right for everyone, but they’re possible more often than people expect.
Conventional dentures slip and require adhesive. Implant dentures snap onto two to six posts and stay secure throughout the day. You still remove them at night for cleaning, but the stability is completely different. It’s a practical middle ground between traditional dentures and fully fixed implants.
Considering dental implants in Glens Falls, NY? Book an evaluation to discuss your options.
A 3D scan, exam, and conversation about your options. Dr. Shraga walks you through the images and identifies any concerns. You leave with a treatment plan and pricing. No pressure to decide that day.
Your scan is used to map exactly where each implant will go. You’ll see the planned positioning and understand what’s involved before anything is scheduled.
Most patients need two to four appointments total. If you’re driving from Chestertown or Hague, it’s about 45 minutes on I-87. We schedule to reduce trips and combine procedures when it makes sense.
Implants need a few months to integrate with the bone before final teeth are placed. Seasonal residents who winter in Florida or Arizona can plan around their schedule and complete treatment when they’re back.
Implant pricing in the Glens Falls area varies depending on the provider, materials, and complexity of your case. Here’s what treatment typically starts at.
We accept most insurance and offer financing through CareCredit and LendingClub. You’ll receive an itemized breakdown at your first visit with no hidden fees. Many patients spread payments over 12 to 24 months rather than paying everything upfront.
Our Delmar office is just off I-87 with easy parking. Patients come from throughout Warren County because the entire process happens in one location with one doctor from start to finish.
We regularly see patients from Schroon Lake, North Creek, Queensbury, and communities across the region. Whether you live here year-round or spend summers at the lake, we can plan treatment around your schedule.

Volume matters. Someone placing implants daily sees situations that rarely come up weekly. Dr. Shraga handles bone grafting, sinus lifts, nerve repositioning, and implant placement in one office. No referrals. Most patients find the 45-minute drive from Glens Falls worthwhile.
The 3D scan shows exactly what you’re working with. Many patients from Glens Falls assume they’re not candidates because of bone loss, but grafting, sinus lifts, or angled implants often make it possible. You won’t know until you see the images.
Get a second opinion. Dentists without advanced implant training sometimes refer out cases they could handle with more experience. We regularly place implants for Warren County patients who were told no by other providers.
With proper care, decades. The implant itself rarely fails once it integrates. Crowns may need replacement after 15–20 years due to normal wear, similar to any dental restoration.
Soft foods for the first week or two while you heal. Once the final restoration is placed, you eat whatever you want—steak, apples, corn on the cob. That’s the point.
No upper limit. We’ve placed implants for patients in their 80s throughout the Lake George region. Overall health matters more than age. If you’re healthy enough for a tooth extraction, you’re typically healthy enough for an implant.
Rare, but it happens. If an implant doesn’t integrate, we remove it, let the area heal, and try again. There’s no additional charge for the replacement implant.
