Dental Implants
Missing teeth can make speaking and chewing a struggle. Joseph T. Mormino, DDS, coordinates with Staten Island oral surgeons to offer dental implants.
Learn why implant dentistry is the best method of tooth replacement and how it can improve your smile and oral health.
How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jaw to act as artificial tooth roots. The implants fuse with the jawbone over the course of healing, a process called osseointegration. Thanks to osseointegration, dental implants can support long-lasting and natural-looking restorations.
Dental implants can support custom crowns, bridges, or dentures, making them an excellent treatment option for people missing multiple teeth or just one tooth.
Dental Implants: A Landmark in Dentistry
Joseph T. Mormino feels that dental implants are a true innovation in dental care. They allow people suffering from tooth loss to experience a restored smile with full function. When you visit our dental office on Staten Island, NY, we can discuss candidacy for implant dentistry as well as the cost of care and financing options.
An Unparalleled Solution for Missing Teeth
Because our Staten Island, New York, dentist works with only the best oral surgeons and personally oversees the crafting of your dentures, crowns, or bridges in our advanced on-site dental lab, we can provide you with outstanding results and lifelong benefits:
Durability
With proper care, dental implants can last for the rest of your life. However, you must still maintain excellent oral hygiene and attend bi-annual cleanings and exams to preserve the health of your smile.
Protection
Tooth loss causes the jawbone to shrink over time. Dental implants prevent atrophy of the jaw by stimulating the bone tissue. Implants are the only dental treatment capable of stopping bone atrophy after tooth loss.
Stability
Implant-supported dentures will never move out of position, so you can eat and speak properly. Meanwhile, the dentures or other restorations attached to your implants will be made from highly realistic materials in our Staten Island practice's very own onsite lab, so you can smile with confidence.

The Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of implant dentistry varies based on the number of implants you need, the restorations they will support, your choice of dentist, and other factors. If you need bone grafts before getting implants, that can also affect the cost of care.
If you are concerned about the price tag, we can discuss various means of keeping the procedure as affordable as possible. We can also go over the long-term benefits of implants, which may help justify the price.
Insurance and Financing
Dental insurance rarely contributes to the cost of implants, but most plans will contribute to the cost of your restorations.
To keep the cost of dental implants affordable for Staten Island households, Dr. Mormino offers a number of financing options. Our friendly staff can help arrange a payment plan through two popular third-party lenders: CareCredit® and LendingClub. We also accept all major credit cards.
During your dental consultation at our Staten Island office, we can explain these options and help you determine the best way to budget for a restored smile.

An implant, abutment, and dental crown can be used to replace a single lost tooth.
Dental Anxiety Is No Problem
If you suffer from dental anxiety or phobia, it can cause you to put off much-needed dental treatment. Our Staten Island practice offers sedation options so you can comfortably receive the care you need. Our sedation options include:
Nitrous Oxide
Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is breathed in to help patients relax. It acts fast and wears off quickly once it is turned off.
Oral Conscious Sedation
An anxiety medication is prescribed and taken about 30 to 60 minutes before your appointment. You will need a responsible adult to drive you to and from your appointment.

Healing After Dental Implant Placement
Following your dental implant placement, our dental team will provide you with all the information you need to make healing as easy as possible. Here are a few tips to keep in mind after your procedure.
Take Medication as Directed
To minimize pain and discomfort, your doctor may prescribe prescription pain meds or suggest over-the-counter pain medications. Take them as directed.
Eat a Soft Diet
For the first few days following implant placement, it is best to eat a soft diet. This will reduce irritation to the implant site and allow your gums to heal.
Use Ice Packs
Ice packs will help reduce pain and swelling. Use them on your cheeks for about 30 minutes at a time.
Elevate Your Head
Keep your head propped up and elevated when you sleep. This will reduce swelling and discomfort.
If you experience any troubling symptoms such as excessive bleeding or swelling or pain that is not easily managed, please call our Staten Island dental practice so we can address your issues as soon as possible.
Offering the Convenience of Same-Day Crowns
Once you are completely healed from your dental implant procedure, Dr. Mormino may be able to provide you with a same-day restoration created in our in-house laboratory during a single appointment. Only 2% of dental practices in the United States have this state-of-the-art capability, and ours is the only practice in Staten Island, NY, to offer it.
Using advanced digital scanning technology, a precise impression of your smile will be made. Then our on-site dental artisans will craft your crown while you relax in comfort. This high-quality restoration will be color-matched to your natural teeth so it will blend in seamlessly after Dr. Mormino attaches it to your titanium implant.
Same-day crown benefits include not needing another appointment to replace a missing tooth, no outside lab costs, and if needed, emergency replacement of your implant-supported crown at very little inconvenience to you.

Do dental implants hurt?
You will receive some form of anesthesia during your implant placement to ensure you are completely comfortable during the procedure. However, implant placement is a surgical procedure, so some discomfort while you heal is to be expected. This is usually easily managed at home with over-the-counter medication, pain medication prescribed by your dentist, and ice. It is suggested you eat a soft diet while your jawbone heals. If you experience significant pain, please contact your surgeon or our Staten Island dentistry practice so we can address your discomfort as soon as possible.
Do I really need an implant for a single missing tooth?
Yes. Even a single missing tooth can cause the jawbone to begin to atrophy, which can lead to further tooth loss, a need for bone grafting, and more. By replacing your missing tooth with an implant-supported crown, you can invest in your oral health and prevent more costly dental work in the future.
I suffer from jawbone atrophy. How can I qualify for implants?
Implants require a strong foundation. If you suffer from significant atrophy, you may require bone grafting surgery before you can qualify for dental implants. While this isn't something we perform at our Staten Island, NY, dentistry practice, we work and coordinate with dental surgeons in the local area to ensure you receive the care you need.
I'm allergic or sensitive to metals. Is there an alternative to titanium implants?
Yes. While most implants are made of titanium, some surgeons and dentists can provide ceramic implants as an alternative. It is important that you discuss your allergies and sensitivities with both your dentist and surgeon during your consultations.
I have an implant-supported restoration that needs to be replaced. Can you help?
Yes. We restore and replace old and worn restorations. Our Staten Island, New York, dental office has an on-site laboratory, meaning you can enjoy a restored smile sooner. Dr. Mormino can also provide a temporary restoration if you cannot have one placed immediately.
