A Permanent Solution for Missing or Damaged Teeth
When teeth are missing or can no longer be reliably restored, dental implants can provide a stable foundation for rebuilding your smile. Treatment may involve replacing a single tooth, restoring several gaps, or securing a complete arch of replacement teeth.
Dental implants in Garden City may be worth considering if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have badly damaged or failing teeth that cannot be reliably restored
- Experience discomfort or movement from removable dentures
- Want a fixed alternative to traditional dentures or bridges
- Have healthy gums or are willing to complete periodontal treatment first
- Have enough jawbone to support implants or may qualify for bone grafting
- Are healthy enough to heal properly after implant placement
- Want a lasting treatment that improves both dental function and appearance
Legacy Prosthodontics will evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, jawbone, medical history, and treatment goals before determining whether implants are the best option. Your personalized dental implant plan may include a single implant, same-day treatment, or a full-arch or full-mouth restoration.

Same-Day Dental Implants
Don’t want to wait months for a complete smile? We offer same-day dental implants to replace missing teeth in a single visit, so you can leave with a fully functional smile.
Full Arch Dental Implants
Full-arch dental implants restore an entire upper or lower set of teeth with long-lasting durability and a natural look. You’ll get a stronger bite and a complete smile without the drawbacks of traditional dentures.
Full Mouth Dental Implants
Full-mouth dental implants can restore every tooth for a transformation that looks and feels natural. You’ll be able to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and smile without hesitation.
Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants provide a strong, lasting foundation in a smaller design, making them ideal for patients with lower bone density. We use them to anchor dentures or replace smaller teeth with less downtime.
All-On-4 & All-On-6 Dental Implants
Using All-on-4 or All-on-6 dental implants, we replace an entire arch of teeth with fewer procedures. The result is a stable, natural-looking smile that restores full function and confidence in a fraction of the time.

Breaking Down the Cost of Dental Implants
Every smile requires a different approach, so the total cost of your dental implants is based on your individual treatment plan. Your final cost depends on:
- Number of implants placed
- Type of restoration (single, full arch, or full mouth)
- Whether you choose All-On-4 or All-On-6
- Additional procedures, such as extractions or bone grafting
- Materials used for posts and crowns
- Custom design in our in-house lab
- Sedation or anesthesia options
Before we begin treatment, we’ll provide an upfront estimate so you always know what to expect.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Dental Implant Treatment
Your care begins with a complete evaluation of your teeth, gums, bite, jawbone, and overall health. We will explain your options, review the expected timeline, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Before Treatment: Detailed imaging and an oral examination help us plan implant placement and determine whether extractions, bone grafting, or other preparatory care may be needed.
- During Treatment: Your implants are carefully placed in the jawbone, and a temporary restoration may be provided when appropriate.
- After Treatment: We monitor your healing as the implants bond with the bone before attaching and adjusting your custom final restoration.
Your treatment timeline will depend on the number of implants placed, your bone support, and how your body heals. Legacy Prosthodontics will guide you through each stage and make adjustments to support lasting comfort and function.

Get Straight Answers About Dental Implants
Are dental implants permanent?
Yes. Dental implants bond securely to your jawbone, forming a strong foundation for your replacement teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, they can last for many years.
How long does it take to recover after getting dental implants?
Most patients feel back to normal within a few days, though complete healing takes a few months as your implant fuses with the bone. During that time, we’ll monitor your progress and ensure your comfort at every stage.
Who is the ideal candidate for dental implants?
Ideal candidates have healthy gums, sufficient jawbone density, and good oral hygiene. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, procedures like bone grafting can make dental implants possible.
Are there any specific aftercare instructions?
Caring for implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth: daily brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings are key. Avoid smoking and follow your provider’s recommendations to keep your new smile strong and healthy.
