"This was my first visit and I was immediately impressed by the facility and the professionalism of the staff. I was further impressed by the attention to detail, explanations and information given by the Doctor about the available treatments and my options. Dental treatment is not high on my list of things I look forward to but this was a rewarding and relatively painless experience."

Dr. Rubin is awesome and his staff of hygienists, assistants and administrators are all so nice and caring and professional. Dr. Rubin's office is total state of the art - with all the latest high-tech equipment and comfortable atmosphere. We've recommended this office to many friends who are all very happy."

What We Do

Plan A Visit

Same Day Implants | Northport NY Dentist If conditions are not favorable, we recommend not placing a temporary in areas that are not esthetically critical. Where aesthetics are a concern, we can discuss the best option that applies to your individual situation. We want to ensure clinical success in the long term as well as make the transitional period of healing as uneventful as possible.

Local factors usually determine whether or not this is feasible and/or recommended. If there is adequate bone volume and initial stabilization of the implant can be achieved, “immediate” placement can be an advantage. Not only does it eliminate a separate procedure but it advances the timeline, allowing the tooth replacement to be placed that much sooner.

Reasons We Can't Place It at the Same Appointment

If infection is present at the time of the extraction, “immediate” implant placement is contra-indicated. As always, local factors such as smoking, alcohol usage, underlying medical issues and medications influence our decision.

Inspection of the condition of the bony socket, following extraction, is necessary before actual placement. If it is deficient, implant placement will be postponed and the site may be grafted in order to achieve the bone volume necessary for proper long term implant function and “health”.
