Comparing your tooth replacement options
Many Forest Hills patients come to us after being told their implant case would be split between several offices: one for imaging, one for surgery, and another for the crown or denture that goes on top. At Bayside Dental Arts, Dr. Ilyabayev plans, places, and restores your implants himself, so the person who maps your jawbone is the same person who fits your final teeth.
Most people weighing implants are really comparing three options: an implant, a traditional bridge, or a removable denture. Each one can replace missing teeth, but they work differently. A bridge is anchored to the teeth on either side of the gap, which usually means reshaping them. A denture rests on the gums. An implant is placed in the jawbone itself, so it stands on its own and helps keep that bone in use.
Dr. Ilyabayev walks Forest Hills patients through that comparison at the first visit, using a 3D CBCT scan to show what each option would involve in your mouth. Because our in-house lab designs and mills restorations on site, the plan you see is the plan our team builds. Our team speaks English, Spanish, and Russian.
Implant, bridge, or denture?
Choose the situation that sounds most like yours to see how an implant-based option compares with the more traditional alternatives.
Single tooth implant
A single implant replaces one tooth without touching its neighbors. The usual alternative, a three-unit bridge, asks two healthy teeth to carry the load and needs them trimmed down to fit.
Implant-supported bridge
Two implants can carry a bridge across a longer gap. Compared with a partial denture, there are no clasps hooking onto other teeth, and nothing to take out at night.
All-on-4 or All-on-6
A full arch on four or six implants is fixed in place. Compared with a traditional denture, it does not rely on suction or adhesive, and qualifying patients can leave with a temporary arch the same day through Teeth in a Day.

What your visits look like
Implant care is spread over several visits. Here is what each one is for, so the schedule is clear before you begin.
Step 1
First visit
Exam, 3D CBCT scan, and a review of implant, bridge, and denture options so you can compare them with real measurements.
Step 2
Placement visit
The implant is placed under local anesthetic. Nitrous oxide is available to any patient, and IV sedation is available for implant treatment.
Step 3
Healing checks
Short follow-up visits confirm the bone is bonding to the post. You will have a temporary option in the meantime.
Step 4
Final visit
Your crown, bridge, or arch is fitted after it is designed and made in our in-house lab.
Why some patients choose implants over a bridge
A bridge can be a good choice, and it is often faster. The tradeoff is that the teeth on either side of the gap must be reshaped to hold it, and the bone under the missing tooth is no longer stimulated.
An implant leaves the neighboring teeth alone and puts force back into the jawbone. Dr. Ilyabayev will tell you honestly when a bridge or denture may make more sense for your situation.
Cost compared with other options
An implant usually costs more up front than a bridge or denture. Some patients find the comparison changes when they factor in how long each option is expected to last and what replacing it later would involve.
To help with the comparison, we accept PPO insurance and offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Alphaeon, and LendingClub, and consultations for larger implant plans are free.

Questions Forest Hills patients ask
How far is your office from Forest Hills?
Bayside Dental Arts is at 213-07 Northern Blvd in Bayside, in northeast Queens. From Forest Hills, most patients drive east on the Long Island Expressway or Grand Central Parkway. Travel time depends on traffic.
Is an implant better than a bridge?
Not always. An implant avoids reshaping the neighboring teeth and helps preserve bone, while a bridge is often quicker. Your exam and 3D scan help decide which fits your mouth.
Can I switch from a denture to implants?
Many denture wearers move to an implant-supported arch. Bone loss under a long-worn denture may call for grafting first, which your scan will show.
Does getting an implant hurt?
The area is numbed for placement, and most patients describe soreness afterward rather than sharp pain. Nitrous oxide and IV sedation are available for implant treatment.
How long do dental implants last?
A 2026 systematic review found about 93 percent of implants were still in place after 20 years. Brushing, flossing, and checkups help yours last.
Does insurance cover implants?
Coverage varies by plan. We accept PPO insurance, help verify benefits before treatment, and offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Alphaeon, and LendingClub.
