Dental Implants
Dental implants are a very reliable source for effective tooth replacement. Whether you have lost one tooth or many, implants can provide a permanent solution that looks and functions normally.
Make Dental Implants Your First Choice
Dental implants are essentially artificial teeth that permanently replace lost, damaged, or decaying natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures, fixed dental implants are permanently anchored to the jawbone, providing a lifetime of durability that restores up to 99% of the use and functionality of natural teeth. Most dental implants consist of three main parts: the implant post, the abutment, and the restoration. First, the implant post (commonly made of titanium) is surgically placed into the jawbone. Next, the abutment is attached to the post, and this abutment will serve as an anchor to permanently attach the custom replacement tooth (known as the restoration). At our acclaimed practice in East Hanover, NJ, our implant specialists are well-versed in all forms of implant fabrication, surgery, and final placement.

FAQs

What is the procedure for dental implants?
Our certified dentists at Dental Care East Hanover are able to complete the implant process in two steps, starting with the placement of the dental implant inside your mouth. After the implant is placed, it needs approximately three months to anchor itself into the surrounding tissue. Once healed, a dental crown is added onto the implant to match the appearance of your other teeth.

What types of dental implants exist?
Two of the most commonly used dental implants are endosteal implants and all-on-4 implants. Endosteal implants are the most common dental implant option. They are comprised of a titanium metal rod that is installed into the jawbone and a supporting post that is specifically designed to secure either a dental crown or a dental bridge. All-on-4 implants are a revolutionary dental implant system in which an entire top or bottom denture is supported on just four implants. Each implant is strategically placed so that the replacement teeth remain steady and secure. The advantage of using four implants is that it helps promote faster patient recovery and reduces the likelihood of complications from possible implant failure.

What are the benefits of dental implants?
When you lose a tooth, it can become difficult to chew and speak clearly. If tooth loss is left untreated, it could result in problems like tooth shifts, jawbone deterioration, facial structure and bite imbalances. These issues usually develop over time when there is no root system to maintain bone health and alignment.
Dental implants can not only help a patient overcome short-term challenges; they can also prevent long-term problems linked to tooth loss. They are the most effective method for treating tooth loss because they serve as an artificial root system for supporting a prosthetic tooth.
