Dental Implants in New Providence, NJ
At New Providence Dentistry, we use the latest techniques and materials to provide our patients with the best possible care. One of the services we offer is dental implants. Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and provide a natural-looking smile. The implant itself is a small titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone. The bone then heals around the implant, securing it in place. Once the implant is in place, an artificial tooth, or crown, is attached to the implant. Dental implants are a great option for people who have lost teeth due to injury or disease. They are also a good choice for people who want to avoid wearing dentures. If you are considering dental implants, please contact us today to schedule a consultation.

What is the procedure for dental implants?
The first step of dental implants is having the dentist consult and examine the site in the mouth where the dental implant is being considered. The dentist will need to consider if any of the neighboring teeth need to be extracted and which type of bone graft needs to be conducted.
Once the patient has been given a few months to heal, the dental implant is placed into the bone and a healing cap is placed over the implant so the healing phase can begin. It’s important to visit the dentist every six months for a check-up to ensure healing.

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.
