Restoring smiles with surgical precision and spa-like comfort.
In most Staten Island practices, a single general dentist attempts both the surgery and the design. We reject that model. At Sola, we utilize a dual-specialty protocol: A Board-Certified Surgeon builds the foundation, and a Fellowship-trained Cosmetic Dentist designs the smile.

Dental implants are a popular choice for tooth replacement because of their strength, ability to preserve tooth and bone, and high success rate. However, traditional dental implants, which consist of titanium screws, can be expensive and not everyone can afford them.

The cost of dental implants in Staten Island typically ranges from$3,000 to $4,500 per tooth, which includes the implant post, abutment, and ceramic crown.

At Sola Dental Spa, we provide a transparent, all-inclusive quote during your 3D consultation so there are never hidden fees.
Most patients report that dental implant surgery involvesless discomfort than a tooth extraction. We utilize local anesthesia and offer sedation dentistry options to ensure a painless experience. Post-procedure sensation is typically managed with over-the-counter medication and resolves within 2–3 days.
Initial soft tissue healing occurs within7 to 10 days. However, the critical phase is osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the jawbone, which takes 3 to 6 months. During this time, you will wear a temporary restoration so you are never without teeth while your smile is being built.
Dental implants are an effective and commonly recommended treatment for replacing missing teeth. Implants have high success rates and provide many benefits for restoring your smile and oral health. Safe and effective tooth replacement dental implants have over 95% success rate when placed by an experienced dentist. Using biocompatible titanium, they fuse securely to the jawbone through osseointegration. Implants are a safe, proven way to replace missing teeth.
To determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants, schedule a consultation with our experienced implant dentist. We will examine your individual case and advise if implants can restore your smile.
Unlike dentures, dental implants are fantastic at keeping your facial structure intact after tooth extraction. They work by integrating with your jawbone, which helps maintain your natural facial contours and prevents any sagging.
Implants allow you to enjoy your favorite foods with confidence. They restore full bite force, enabling you to savor crunchy and chewy foods that dentures might limit.
Missing teeth can lead to unclear speech, but dental implants provide a solution by allowing for clear pronunciation and boosting self-esteem with a complete, natural-looking smile.
Properly cared for, implants can last a lifetime. They require no adhesives and do not need to be removed for sleeping or cleaning, providing a hassle-free experience.
At Sola Dental Spa, we use the latest in implant technology to ensure successful osseointegration – the remarkable biological process where your jawbone naturally fuses with the titanium implant. This creates a bond stronger than natural tooth roots.
Immediately after Dr. Gershkowitz places your implant, your body begins its natural healing response. Blood cells form a clot around the implant site, initiating the foundation for new bone growth.
New bone cells called osteoblasts begin forming around the titanium surface. The implant's specially treated surface encourages bone cells to attach and multiply, creating a biological lock between your jaw and the implant.
Your jawbone continues to strengthen and remodel around the implant, creating a permanent anchor. By month 6, the implant is fully integrated and ready to support your beautiful new crown.
When selecting a dental provider, reviews are invaluable. We are proud of our patients and grateful for the stories they share about their experiences with us.
Tooth loss is more than a cosmetic issue it can lead to serious changes in your jawbone and facial structure. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that actively stimulates your jawbone, preventing the bone from shrinking over time. Unlike dentures, which rest on the gums and may even accelerate bone deterioration, implants function like real tooth roots and help maintain natural bone density. Plus, implants do not rely on altering neighboring teeth, keeping your entire smile healthier.
Dental implants are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and feel. Advanced materials like zirconia and porcelain are used to reflect light just like real enamel, giving you a confident, radiant smile. Removable dentures can appear artificial or bulky and may not age well, especially as the jawbone beneath begins to shrink. With implants, you can smile freely without worrying about slippage, staining, or shifting.
Do you find yourself holding back your smile or avoiding social situations because of missing teeth or loose dentures? Dental implants restore your confidence. Because they are permanently fixed in place, implants eliminate the clicking, slipping, or discomfort often associated with dentures. They support your facial muscles, help maintain youthful facial contours, and make it easier to speak clearly and smile naturally.
Dental implants are built to last. Made from durable, biocompatible materials like titanium and zirconium, they can easily last 15 to 25 years or even a lifetime with good care. Compare that to dentures or bridges, which typically need replacement every 5 to 10 years. Implants resist wear and tear, protect your oral health, and reduce the need for future dental work, making them a smart long-term investment.
Dental implants allow you to enjoy food the way you used to. They restore up to 100% of your natural chewing ability, unlike dentures which often only restore 30–40%. Crunchy apples, juicy steaks, and fresh vegetables become part of your diet again—with no fear of slipping dentures or painful pressure points. Plus, better chewing leads to better digestion and overall health.
One of the best things about dental implants? They’re easy to care for. No special pastes, adhesives, or soaking cups are required. Just brush and floss like you would with your natural teeth, and maintain regular dental visits. Dentures, on the other hand, require daily cleaning, careful storage, and frequent adjustments making implants a lower-maintenance and more hygienic choice.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, the All-on-4 dental implant system is a revolutionary solution. This technique uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth often with same-day results. Unlike traditional full dentures, All-on-4 offers a stable, fixed smile that feels natural and lets you eat, laugh, and speak without limitations
While the upfront cost of dental implants is higher than traditional dentures, the lifetime value is unmatched. Dentures require regular adjustments, replacements, and cleaning products. Over time, these costs add up. Implants, by contrast, offer a permanent solution that saves you time, money, and hassle: making them more affordable in the long term.
