Happy Thanksgiving! As we celebrate with our loved ones, we meet around the table and share meals, often a time cherished by friends and family. However, if you're wearing dentures, these family dinners may become an embarrassing hassel. At New York Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery, Dental Implant Center, we know the difficulties dentures can incur. They cause discomfort often requiring adjustment during meals. Dentures click, move, and are uncomfortable. NY oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, offers same-day dental implant placement so you can enjoy gathering around the holiday table once again!
A dental implant is a small screw anchored into the jawbone in an area of a missing tooth. Placed upon an implant is an artificial tooth that matches the shape, color, and function of your natural tooth. The dental implant allows you to eat freely without the hassles of dentures. A great solution for missing teeth, dental implants look more natural than dentures and can help preserve your facial structure.
At New York Oral Surgery, we offer same-day dental implant placement. The procedure is simple. Before the procedure, Dr. Stein works with a cosmetic dental laboratory to design a replacement tooth. On the day of the procedure, Dr. Stein extracts the broken or rotted tooth from your jaw. Following the extraction, Dr. Stein evaluates your jawbone's density using a CT scan machine. He then inserts the dental implant and immediately places your custom-designed artificial tooth upon the implant. You can leave our New York Oral Surgery practice with a new smile all in one day!
Don't endure another holiday season with annoying dentures! Celebrate the season with a new smile! Call our oral surgery center today for more information on tooth extraction and dental implant placement all in one day! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about immediate dental implant placement.

Long and tedious are words often used to describe traditional dental implant placement but Dr. Mark Stein offers an alternative, more convenient solution. Oral surgeons usually require patients to wait for the gums and jawbone to heal after tooth extraction before an implant can be placed, then once an implant is inserted, patients are often expected to wait another four to six months for an actual tooth to be placed atop an implant. The process can discourage many patients from deciding to undergo dental implant placement. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, understands the necessity of efficient and precise dental care, and has developed a new technique that allows many patients to leave the office with a new dental implant in NYC the same day as tooth extraction!
NYC oral surgeon, Dr. Stein, developed immediate dental implants using his CT cone beam scan machine. As one of only a few oral surgeons to have this machine at their surgical suite, he is at the forefront of technology in his field. The CT cone beam scan machine develops hundreds of photos to create a 3D image of your jaw. The imaging allows Dr. Stein to evaluate bone density, helping to determine the best placement for an implant. Dr. Stein is also able to use the imaging to plan the size and shape of the dental implant before tooth extraction. You will leave our office with a natural-looking dental implant the same day as your tooth extraction in NY!
If you’re considering dental implants, but don’t want to be hassled with the traditional wait involved with most dental implant procedures, Dr. Stein’s immediate dental implant placement may be the best option for you. Call our oral surgery center today for more information on tooth extraction and dental implant placement all in one day! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about immediate dental implant placement.

Traditional dental implants once involved an unfortunate and inconvenient wait between the tooth extraction and implantations stages of dental implant surgery. Our oral surgeon, Dr. Mark Stein, however, offers the most advanced techniques in dental surgery, and can literally bridge the gap between extraction and implantation. New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery offers same-day dental implant placement using CT Cone Beam scanning for imaging.
Dr. Mark Stein is one of a few New York oral surgeons to offer Cone Beam scanning in-office, allowing for immediate dental implant placement. This CT scan system accesses the jaw to help plan for surgical implants. The CT machine emits x-ray beams in the shape of a cone, rotating around the patient's head. Helping to visualize the facial structure, New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery's Cone Beam scanning takes hundreds of images to obtain a 3D image of your jaw. This provides Dr. Stein with a clear evaluation of bone density in the area of the decayed tooth. Dr. Stein then uses the information produced by the CT scan to design the shape and size of your customized dental implant before tooth extraction. On the day of extraction, Dr. Stein has a custom designed dental implant ready for immediate placement.
Immediate dental implant placement is a revolutionary procedure offered by very few oral surgeons. The CT cone beam scanning system provides our oral surgeon with precise imaging to virtually design the implant and its exact placement. Call our oral surgery center today, so you can experience tooth extraction and dental implant placement all in one day! Dr. Stein and our staff at New York Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center welcome any questions you may have about immediate dental implant placement.

After tooth extraction, patients can wait up to six months for their mouth to completely heal and jawbone density to grow. The long wait can leave patients with inconvenient, temporary teeth for an extended time period. Dr. Mark Stein at New York Oral Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery offers dental implant placement immediately after tooth extraction, resulting in new a smile, faster!
Depending on the quality of your jawbone, the placement of the implant, and the amount of dental implants being placed, Dr. Mark Stein can successfully place a dental implant in NYC directly after tooth extraction. Dental implants placed immediately after tooth extraction are most successful when only implanting a single tooth. Immediate implant placement has many benefits, including:
-
Reducing surgical steps and treatment time
-
Avoiding the need for jawbone grafting
-
Preserving the soft tissue and jawbone, leading to a more natural-looking implantation
Dr. Mark Stein offers a revolutionary technique for immediate dental implant placement. He is one of a select few oral surgeons to have an in-office cone bean CT scan machine. Having this technology on-site allows him to work with a cosmetic dental laboratory to design a replacement tooth of the right shape and size. During the procedure, Dr. Stein removes the decayed tooth and places the dental implant based on computer planning. The tooth is immediately placed after implantation.

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.
