Are you considering dental implants, but aren’t quite ready for the surgery? Dental implants can help you smile with radiance! These implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike dentures or bridgework, dental implants will not shift, click, feel uncomfortable, hinder your diet or damage adjoining teeth. Dental implants require no extra maintenance and will help preserve your facial structure while giving you a beautiful smile! Dental implants in NY are surgically placed and may require Jawbone grafting if a patient does not have dense jawbone structure.
What is Jawbone Grafting?
Jawbone grafting in NYC is a procedure completed before dental implants. Most commonly used when existing jawbone is lacking density, grafting techniques help promote bone growth and create volume where future implants will be placed. Usually, the material used for jawbone grafting at New York City Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is either harvested bone from the patient, specially prepared bone from cadavers or synthetic material, or INFUSE®, an advanced new bone grafting material that uses protein to promote bone growth. Jawbone grafting usually takes around 4 to 9 months to heal before an implant can be placed.
Why do I need Jawbone Grafting after a tooth extraction?
Even if a patient has dense jawbone, after removing a tooth, if a dental implant is not placed, jawbone may begin to deteriorate. Various other ailments can cause your jawbone to weaken including, trauma, infection, gum disease, surgery, and congenital defects. Without a strong, substantial jawbone, dental implants cannot be supported.
Dr. Mark Stein can help prepare your smile for dental implants with Jawbone Grafting in NYC. To learn more about Jawbone Grafting in New York, contact us at 212.888.4760, or schedule an appointment online. Dr. Stein and the staff at New York Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery would be happy to discuss your options.

Do you sleep regularly, but never feel well rested? Do you wake up during your sleep gasping for air? Are you a chronic snorer? If you answered “yes” to these questions, you may be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea in NYC is a condition that pauses your breathing during sleep, anywhere from 5-30 times per hour! Caused by a narrowing of the airway, sleep apnea is more common in patients who are overweight, but can affect others. This condition will not only prevent a restful night’s sleep, but also cause high blood pressure, stroke, and even heart failure! Yes, the effects of sleep apnea can be fatal, and unfortunately, one in five adults suffer from at least minor sleep apnea.
When suffering from sleep apnea, you are more likely to have high blood pressure. Other heart conditions you may suffer are:
-
Atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat)
-
Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
-
Coronary artery disease (hardening of the arteries)
-
Heart attack
If obstructive sleep apnea is left untreated, risk of heart failure is extremely high.
Treat sleep apnea with the Pillar Procedure! Minimally invasive, the Pillar Procedure in NYC only takes twenty minutes, but delivers long lasting effects with no downtime. The procedure places small implants, less than an inch in length, into soft palate tissues. The implants are not visible, cannot be felt, and won’t interfere with swallowing or speech. Some patients report having results from the Pillar Procedure in New York as early as a few weeks; however, sometimes it can take up-to three months to see the full results.
The results of the Pillar Procedure are well worth the wait! Patients notice a significant decrease in snoring intensity, leading to a more satisfying sleep. A noticeable decrease in the patient’s hypopnea index will also occur, helping to improve the functions of the heart.
Sleep better and take care of your heart by having the Pillar Procedure in NYC! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about sleep apnea and the Pillar Procedure. Contact our office at 212.888.4760, or request your appointment online today!
