Single Tooth Implants in Nyack, NY
One missing tooth replaced with something fixed, by one dentist, in one office.
Placed and finished by the same dentist, in the same building
A single tooth implant is a titanium post placed into the jaw to replace a missing tooth root, with a custom crown fitted on top. At our Nyack dental office Dr. Bodie both places and restores single implants, and the cost is $4,000 including the crown rather than for the post alone.
One dentist, start to finish
In a lot of practices an implant means two offices: one to place the post and another to make the tooth. With us, it is the same dentist for both, in the same building, working from the same plan. It removes the handover where things get lost, and it means the person who put the post in is the person choosing where the crown sits.
Planned on 3D imaging first
Every implant case starts with 3D imaging, which shows the bone in three dimensions rather than as a flat picture. That tells us whether there is enough bone, exactly where the post should sit relative to the nerve and the sinus, and whether grafting is needed first. It is the difference between a planned placement and an educated guess.
Why replacing one tooth matters more than it seems
A gap does not stay still for long. The teeth on either side drift toward it, the tooth above or below drifts down into it, and the bone where the root used to be gradually shrinks. Dr. Bodie meets patients from Nanuet and all over the dental practice who assume one missing back tooth did not matter, and by then the bite has moved around it.
How much does a single tooth implant cost in Nyack, NY?
A single tooth implant costs $4,000 at our Nyack dental office, and that includes the crown, not just the post. If bone grafting is needed first it is quoted separately after 3D imaging. Your consultation is free, and Affirm and HFD can spread the cost into monthly payments.
What is a single tooth implant?
A single tooth implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone where a tooth root used to be, topped with a custom crown. The post fuses with the bone over several months, which is what makes the finished tooth fixed rather than removable.
Does getting an implant hurt?
Implant placement involves minimal discomfort and is done with local anesthetic, and nitrous oxide or oral sedation is available if you would rather be more relaxed. Most patients report the recovery is easier than they expected, and considerably easier than the extraction that often precedes it.
How long do dental implants last?
A well-placed implant can last decades, and many last for life. The post itself does not decay. What determines the lifespan is gum health and cleaning around it, which is why implant patients are asked to keep up with regular visits.
How many appointments does an implant take?
An implant is a staged treatment rather than a long appointment. Placement is one visit, then the post needs several months to fuse with the bone, then the crown is made and fitted. Dr. Bodie maps your exact schedule at the consultation.
Is an implant better than a bridge?
For a single missing tooth with healthy teeth on either side, an implant is usually the better choice than a bridge. An implant replaces the tooth without touching the neighbors, whereas a bridge means preparing the two teeth beside the gap. A bridge is still the better answer in some cases, and Dr. Bodie will tell you which yours is.

Frequently Asked Questions
I've had this gap in my teeth for years. Have I left it too long?
Often not, though bone does shrink where a root used to be. 3D imaging answers it in minutes, and where bone is thin, grafting frequently makes treatment possible anyway.Will I be sent to another office for implant surgery?
Not for a single implant. Dr. Bodie places it and restores it in our office, so the same person sees the case from the first scan to the finished tooth.I'm nervous about the whole idea of something being put into my jaw. Is that normal?
It is a very common worry and a reasonable one. Ask Dr. Bodie to walk you through the 3D scan at your consultation; most people find seeing exactly what is planned settles it more than any reassurance would.Can I go back to work the next day after my dental implant?
Most patients do. You will get clear aftercare instructions, and Dr. Bodie will tell you honestly if your case is one where you should plan a quieter day or two.Does insurance cover dental implants?
Some plans contribute and many do not. We will check your specific benefits rather than guess, and tell you the balance before you commit. Note that our Wellness Plan does not cover implant placement.
