Immediate Dental Implants in Bellmore, NY
If you’ve loWhat Are Immediate Dental Implants?
Traditional dental implants require a healing period of several months between tooth extraction and implant placement. With immediate implants — also called immediate load implants or teeth-in-a-day — the implant post is placed directly into the extraction socket on the same day the tooth is removed, and a temporary crown is attached right away. This means you leave our Bellmore office with a functional, natural-looking tooth the very same day. Once full osseointegration (implant fusion with the bone) is complete, a permanent crown is placed for a lifetime of confident smiles.

Are You a Candidate for Immediate Implants?
Not every patient is a candidate for immediate implants, but many are. Dr. Yuabov will evaluate your oral health, bone density, and overall medical history to determine if you qualify. Ideal candidates typically have sufficient jawbone density to support the implant post, good overall health, and a single tooth being extracted. Even if you have been told in the past that you are not a candidate, advances in implant technology mean it’s worth getting a second opinion. Call our Bellmore office at (516) 636-5554 to schedule a consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions About Immediate Dental Implants
Am I a candidate for immediate dental implants?
Most patients who need a single tooth extracted are good candidates for immediate dental implants. Ideal candidates have sufficient jawbone density, good overall health, and no active gum disease or infection. Dr. Yuabov will evaluate your oral health with a comprehensive exam and 3D imaging at Bedford Dental to determine if immediate implant placement is right for you. Even patients who have been told they are not candidates may qualify — advances in implant technology have expanded eligibility significantly.
Is the immediate implant procedure painful?
The immediate dental implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the process is. After the procedure, you can expect mild soreness and swelling for a few days, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Dr. Yuabov will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
How do immediate implants compare to traditional dental implants?
Traditional dental implants require multiple appointments spread over several months — first the implant is placed, then a healing period follows before the crown is attached. Immediate implants allow the implant post and a temporary crown to be placed in a single visit, the same day as your extraction. The final result is the same long-lasting, natural-looking tooth replacement, but with far fewer appointments and a faster path to a complete smile. Both options offer excellent outcomes; immediate implants simply make the process more convenient for qualifying patients.
How long do immediate dental implants last?
Immediate dental implants are designed to be a permanent tooth replacement solution. With proper care — regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups — implants can last 20 to 30 years or even a lifetime. The implant post fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable, long-lasting foundation. The crown placed on top may need to be replaced after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear. Dr. Yuabov and the Bedford Dental team serving Bellmore, Merrick, Wantagh, and Nassau County will guide you through long-term maintenance to protect your investment.
Does dental insurance cover immediate implants in Bellmore, NY?
