Tooth Replacement Options
Choosing the Best Option for Missing Teeth in Staten Island
A missing tooth can make it harder to chew and speak, and you may catch yourself hiding the gap when you smile. Here's how your options compare:
A dental bridge fills the gap with false teeth held in place by crowns on the teeth next to it, or by implants. Dental bridges in Staten Island can replace one tooth or several.
A dental implant replaces the tooth root itself, with a crown on top, so it doesn't lean on the teeth next to it. Dr. Cipriano places and restores your dental implants in Staten Island from start to finish.
All-on-4 and All-on-X are for when you're missing all your top or bottom teeth.
Dr. Cipriano checks your teeth, gums and jawbone with 3D X-rays, then tells you honestly which option fits, even when it isn't an implant. People also come from New Jersey, Brooklyn and Manhattan for this care, especially implants.
Root Canals and Crowns
Saving a Cracked or Infected Tooth in Staten Island
Pain that spreads, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling can mean a tooth is infected. Left alone, an infection can spread. Call (718) 948-1600 and our emergency dentist in Staten Island aims to see you the same day. We're not open 24 hours. For swelling that spreads to your eye or neck, or trouble breathing or swallowing, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
The area is numbed first. A root canal then removes the infection inside the tooth, and a crown protects what's left, so you keep your own tooth. A cracked or weak tooth gets a crown to protect it too. Once your teeth are healthy, checkups with a general dentist in Staten Island help keep them that way.

Restorative Dentistry FAQs
Questions About Restorative Dentistry in Staten Island
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces damaged and missing teeth. At our Staten Island office, that means crowns, bridges, root canals and dental implants.
What's the difference between cosmetic and restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry fixes damaged, infected or missing teeth. Cosmetic dentistry in Staten Island changes how healthy teeth look, with treatments like whitening, veneers and bonding. Some treatments do both: a crown protects a damaged tooth and is matched to the color of your other teeth.
Should I get a dental bridge or a dental implant?
A bridge is held up by the teeth next to the gap (or by implants), while an implant replaces the tooth root and leaves your other teeth alone. Which is best for you depends on your gums, your jawbone and the teeth around the gap. Dr. Cipriano checks with 3D X-rays and explains your options for dental bridges and implants in Staten Island.
Do I need a crown after a root canal?
Often, yes. A tooth that's had a root canal can be weaker, and a crown covers it and protects it from further damage. Dr. Cipriano tells you whether your tooth needs one after your root canal in Staten Island.
Is a root canal painful?
The area is numbed first, so a root canal is generally not painful, and many people feel relief afterward because the infection causing the pain is gone. Some sensitivity after treatment is normal and should fade as the tooth heals.
Do people travel from New Jersey for dental implants in Staten Island?
Yes. People come from New Jersey, Brooklyn and Manhattan, especially for dental implants, All-on-4 and All-on-X. Dr. Joseph Cipriano places and restores implants in one office, so you aren't sent to a separate surgeon.
