Create a Stronger, Permanent, and More Beautiful New Smile
"My Teeth Were Getting Worse,
and So Was My Confidence."
The Smartest Investment You Can Make to Restore Your Smile, Function, & Confidence
Missing teeth affect far more than your appearance; they can change the way you eat, speak, and carry yourself every day. Dental implants are the gold standard in modern tooth replacement because they are the only option that replaces both the root and the visible tooth, giving you a result that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing.
At Precision Family Dental & Specialty, Dr. Jesse Hofer brings specialized periodontal training and extensive implant experience to every patient who walks through our doors. Whether you are missing one tooth or many, we are here to help you find the right path forward.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots, creating a stable, permanent foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture. Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, implants actually bond with your bone over time through a natural process called osseointegration, preserving your jaw structure and facial appearance for the long term.
This integration is what makes implants so different from anything else available in dentistry today. The result is a restoration that looks completely natural, withstands everyday use, and does not compromise the healthy teeth around it.
Are You Dealing with Any of the Following?
Implants Could Be the Answer!
Missing One or
Multiple Teeth
Restore your smile with a fixed, permanent solution that looks and functions like natural teeth.
Failing or
Damaged Teeth
Teeth that cannot be saved are strong candidates for implant replacement, and Dr. Hofer will always exhaust every option to save your tooth first.
Ill-Fitting or
Uncomfortable Dentures
Implant-supported options eliminate slipping, soreness, and the need for adhesives, giving you confidence in every conversation and every meal.
Bone Loss from
Missing Teeth
Implants are the only tooth replacement option that actively stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent bone deterioration that occurs when a tooth is missing.
The Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
- Look and feel identical to natural teeth
- Preserve jawbone and prevent bone loss over time
- Do not require altering or grinding down neighboring healthy teeth
- Easy to maintain: brush and floss just as you would your natural teeth
- Built to last a lifetime with proper care
- Restore full chewing function and speaking clarity
- Boost confidence and overall quality of life
A Step-by-Step Overview of the Implant Process
Step 1: Consultation
Dr. Hofer evaluates your oral health, reviews your goals, and determines whether implants are the right fit for your unique situation.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment Planning
Using advanced imaging technology, we create a precise, customized plan for your implant placement, so there are no surprises along the way.
Step 3: Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is carefully and comfortably placed into the jawbone during a planned surgical procedure performed at our Oyster Bay, Scarsdale, or Maspeth, NY, office.
Step 4: Healing and Integration
Over the following months, the implant naturally fuses with your jawbone through osseointegration, building the strong foundation your restoration will rely on.
Step 5: Abutment Placement
A small connector piece is attached to the implant post to prepare it for your final, custom-made restoration.
Step 6: Final Restoration
Your custom crown, bridge, or denture is placed, completing your new smile and restoring complete function.

Here Is What We Look For
Most adults who are missing one or more teeth are strong candidates for dental implants. A thorough evaluation with Dr. Hofer is the best way to know for certain, and we will take the time to review every aspect of your oral and overall health before making any recommendations. In general, good candidates for dental implants share several qualities:
- Healthy gum tissue with no active periodontal disease
- Sufficient jawbone density to support an implant post
- Good overall health with no uncontrolled systemic conditions
- Non-smoker, or willing to stop smoking before and during treatment
- A commitment to consistent oral hygiene and regular dental visits

Dental implants are among the most durable and reliable tooth replacement options available, with success rates consistently above 95% over a decade of use.

Caring for your implants is straightforward: brush twice daily, floss around the implant site, and keep up with your regular cleanings and exams.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
Most patients are genuinely surprised by how comfortable the implant procedure is. Dr. Hofer uses local anesthesia throughout the placement appointment, and sedation options are available for patients who want additional ease. Post-procedure soreness is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
The cost of dental implants in Oyster Bay, Scarsdale, or Maspeth, NY, varies depending on the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and any preparatory treatments required. During your consultation, we will provide a thorough, transparent breakdown of your treatment plan and all associated costs. We also offer flexible financing options to help make implants accessible for a wide range of budgets.
The full implant process typically takes several months from placement to final restoration, as the implant needs time to fully integrate with the jawbone. However, the timeline varies based on each patient’s unique needs, bone health, and healing progress. Dr. Hofer’s team will walk you through a realistic schedule during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Many PPO plans provide at least partial coverage for implant treatment, though benefits vary widely by plan. Our team will review your insurance and help you understand exactly what is covered before treatment begins. For any remaining balance, financing plans are available to keep your care affordable and stress-free.
Caring for dental implants is simple: brush twice daily, floss carefully around the implant site, and maintain your regular checkups and professional cleanings. We will provide specific post-placement care instructions to support healthy healing and long-term success. With consistent care, your implants can serve you well for many years to come.
There is no upper age limit for dental implants. Bone density and overall health are far more important factors than age, and many of our patients receive implants well into their 60s, 70s, and beyond with excellent results. A consultation with Dr. Hofer is the best way to determine whether implants are the right fit for your health profile.
If you have an implant from another provider that is failing or causing problems, Dr. Hofer specializes in diagnosing and correcting implant complications. Our practice is built on the ability to fix dental work that is not performing as it should, including implants placed elsewhere. We will assess the situation thoroughly and recommend the most conservative, effective solution available.
