Dental Implant Qualifications
You must meet certain requirements in order for implants to be successful. When you have your free consultation at our Long Island office, Dr. Buono will perform an oral exam to determine if you a good candidate. To qualify, you need...
Tooth loss leads to jawbone atrophy. If your bone is not dense enough to support implants, we can arrange a bone grafting procedure that will restore your candidacy.
Candidates for implants must be free of gum disease. If you suffer from a periodontal condition, we will first treat that before moving forward with implants.
We require our patients to be in good overall health before undergoing a dental operation. Patients who smoke, have uncontrolled diabetes, or have an auto-immune disorder may have trouble healing from implant surgery.
Dental Implant Timeline
Dr. Buono works with a team of highly trained oral surgeons to provide his implant patients with the best possible care. The oral surgeon performs the surgical placement of the implant, while Dr. Buono handles the creation and placement of the implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture.
After your initial consultation at our Long Island office, you can expect the following treatment timeline:
The complete dental implant process takes several months, but it results in a functional, natural-looking smile that is worth the wait.

Maintaining Dental Implants
Maintaining implants is as easy as taking care of your natural teeth. To keep your implants and the attached restorations in good condition, we recommend:
Practicing Good Oral Hygiene
Brush your teeth and floss on a daily basis to keep both your implants and your natural teeth healthy.
Attending Dental Check-ups
It is important to visit Garden City Smiles twice a year so we can thoroughly clean your teeth and keep an eye on your implants.
Avoiding Excess Force
Just like your natural teeth, an implant-supported restoration can wear down over time if you grind your teeth, open packages with your mouth, or excessively eat hard, sticky foods.
