A missing tooth changes more than your smile. It can make chewing uncomfortable, let neighboring teeth drift into the gap, and leave you avoiding foods you used to enjoy. For many Huntington adults, the real question is not whether to replace a tooth but who to trust with the surgery.
We are Precision Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and we provide oral surgery for Huntington patients from our Deer Park office. Dr. Mohamed El-Ounsi, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who served as Chief Resident at NYU Langone and Bellevue Hospital, places dental implants for single missing teeth, multiple teeth, and full arches. Same-day consultations are available, so you can start planning your treatment right away.
Why Huntington Patients Choose Our Practice for Dental Implants
Dr. El-Ounsi is a Fellow of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He performs full scope oral and maxillofacial surgery with a special interest in implant surgery and IV sedation, and he teaches courses and hosts events for referring dentists in the community.
We are open about cost from the first visit. Our team helps you understand your insurance benefits, explains every fee up front, and never nickel-and-dimes patients along the way. Each plan is built around the individual patient, including sourcing the specific biomaterials your case calls for instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
What Happens When a Missing Tooth Is Not Replaced
Tooth loss becomes more common with age. A National Center for Health Statistics data brief found that 12.9% of adults aged 65 and over had lost all of their natural teeth, and the figure rose to 17.8% among adults 75 and older. Replacing a single tooth early helps protect the teeth you still have.
The jawbone under a gap can also thin over time. When there is not enough bone to hold an implant securely, we can discuss bone grafting or a sinus lift to rebuild that foundation first, so your implant has the support it needs.
Dental Implant Options Close to Home
Every implant plan starts with what you need to replace and the condition of the bone that will support it. The options we offer Huntington patients include:
What to Expect From Consultation to Final Tooth

Comfortable Sedation for Anxious Patients
Dental anxiety keeps many people from replacing missing teeth for years. IV sedation is one of Dr. El-Ounsi’s special areas of interest, and he is certified in Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support. Our anesthesia and sedation options include:
- Local anesthesia for single-site procedures
- IV sedation for patients who prefer to rest through longer procedures
- General anesthesia for complex cases when it is appropriate
We review your sedation choice during the consultation, so you know exactly what to expect on the day of surgery.
Recovery Support After Implant Surgery
We send every patient home with written aftercare instructions and a direct line to our office for questions. Some swelling and tenderness are normal for the first few days, and soft foods and rest help the implant site heal on schedule. If anything feels unusual, call us and our team will walk you through the next steps.
