FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I get permanent teeth that I never have to worry about?
Absolutely. That's exactly what we do here. Dr. Sepiashvili's whole philosophy is what we call "do it and forget it" — we look at everything going on in your mouth, build one comprehensive plan, and give you a full set of permanent teeth that are anchored into your jawbone. You brush them, eat whatever you want, and live your life. No adhesives, no taking them out at night, no going back every few years for replacements. Patients come to us from all over Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties specifically because they're done with temporary fixes and want something that lasts.
Q2: What is full mouth reconstruction with dental implants?
Think of it as a fresh start for your entire smile. Instead of patching one tooth at a time over years, Dr. Sepiashvili addresses everything at once — removing teeth that can't be saved, treating the gums, placing the implants, and delivering a complete set of new teeth. The end result looks, feels, and works like natural teeth. You don't remove them. You don't use adhesive. You just smile and forget about it. It's one treatment plan that solves everything, and it's designed to last a lifetime.
Q3: How much do full mouth dental implants cost in Westchester County?
Every case is different — the cost depends on how many implants you need, whether bone grafting is involved, and the type of restoration that's right for you. What we can tell you is that when you come in for a consultation, Dr. Sepiashvili gives you a detailed, transparent breakdown with no hidden fees. There are no surprises. And when you compare the one-time investment to a lifetime of denture adhesives, relines, replacements, and ongoing dental work, most patients find the permanent solution makes more financial sense in the long run. We offer financing options too. Call us at (914) 526-2144 and we'll walk you through everything.
Q4: What is the difference between dental implants and dentures?
Night and day. Dentures sit on top of your gums — they move when you talk, limit what you can eat, need adhesive to stay in place, and have to come out every night. Most people need them replaced every 5–10 years. Dental implants are completely different. They're fixed permanently into your jawbone. You brush them like natural teeth, eat steak, corn on the cob, apples — whatever you want. They don't come out. They don't slip. A lot of our patients tell us getting implants was the single best decision they ever made, especially the ones who suffered with dentures for years before finding us.
Q5: Am I too old for dental implants?
Not at all. We see patients in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond — and honestly, some of our best results come from older patients. Age alone doesn't disqualify you. As long as you're in reasonable general health, you're likely a candidate. In fact, many of our older patients are the most motivated — they've dealt with bad teeth or uncomfortable dentures for decades and they're ready to be done with it for good. Come in for a consultation with Dr. Sepiashvili and we'll let you know exactly where you stand.
Q6: Can dental implants be done in one day?
Yes — when appropriate. We offer teeth-in-a-day procedures where failing teeth are removed and a new set of implant-supported teeth is placed in a single visit. You walk in with teeth that are failing you and walk out with a brand new smile. The process starts with a consultation, then a records appointment where we take measurements and design your smile, and then the procedure day itself. While the final permanent prosthetic may come after a healing period, you're never without teeth — you leave that day with a full set that looks and functions beautifully.
Q7: What is All-on-4 and how is it different from traditional implants?
All-on-4 means we can support an entire arch of permanent teeth — a full upper or lower set — using just four strategically placed implants. Traditional implants replace teeth one at a time, which works great for a single missing tooth but isn't practical when you need a whole arch. With All-on-4, Dr. Sepiashvili replaces everything in one procedure. We also use All-on-X when your bone structure calls for a different number of implants. The goal is always the same: the most efficient path to permanent teeth that last.
Q8: Do dental implants look natural?
They look better than natural. Seriously — our patients say that all the time. Before any work begins, Dr. Sepiashvili does a detailed smile design where we take measurements, consider your facial features and skin tone, and plan exactly how your new teeth will look. Nothing is left to chance. When the work is done, people won't know they're implants unless you tell them. Take a look at our before-and-after gallery — the transformations speak for themselves.
Q9: What happens if I do nothing about my failing teeth?
We understand — it's a big decision and it's natural to put it off. But here's what we see happen when patients wait: the bone in your jaw continues to deteriorate, the remaining teeth shift, infections get worse, and the treatment you'll eventually need becomes more complex and more expensive. There's also growing research linking periodontal disease to heart problems, diabetes complications, and other health issues. The longer you wait, the fewer options you have. Dr. Sepiashvili always says the best time to come in is now — even if it's just for a consultation to understand where things stand. No pressure, just honest answers about your options.
Q10: Why do patients travel from Putnam, Dutchess, and Rockland counties for implants at this practice?
Because this is all we do. We're not a general dentist's office that happens to place the occasional implant — we specialize in comprehensive, permanent solutions. Dr. Sepiashvili trained at NYU, the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, Loma Linda University, and gIDE, and that level of specialized training makes a real difference in outcomes. Patients from Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, and Orange counties make the drive because they want it done right the first time. One plan, one investment, and they never have to worry about their teeth again. That's what "do it and forget it" means to us.
