A restored smile can give you a boost of confidence! If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a solution for giving you back your smile! Dental implants replace a natural tooth with an artificial dental implant post and a dental crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Dental implants from our Medford, NJ dentist do not rely on any surrounding teeth for support, so they are made to last a lifetime! Our dental office specializes in restoring dental implants, so if you are looking for a custom-made dental crown to finalize your dental implant tooth replacement, call our dental office today!
Dental implants are small zirconia posts made to mimic teeth’s roots. Once surgically implanted into the jawbone, they fuse to form a solid foundation for the future restoration (i.e., crown, bridge, denture). The only tooth replacement solution capable of replacing the full root-to-crown structure, dental implants are the choice of millions of Americans who are no longer living with missing teeth.
A dental implant provides a replacement for your tooth with three main parts – the post, abutment, and dental crown. This process provides a secure restoration from high-quality materials. There are four steps each patient must experience to receive exceptional results:
Replacing a missing tooth can keep other teeth from shifting out of place, make chewing easier and help you sustain the shape of your jawbone. When teeth are missing, your jawbone deteriorates over time. This causes shifting teeth and future tooth loss. When you choose our dental office for your dental implant restoration, our doctors and team will work hard to make sure the dental crown is made just to your specifications and blends in naturally with your smile.
Nearly any adult who is suffering from tooth loss is a candidate for dental implants. The only caveat is whether you are eligible to move forward with oral surgery right away or if you require preliminary treatments first. These can include bone grafting, periodontal therapy, or even tooth extraction. No matter your situation, you can expect our team to prepare your oral anatomy in a way that readily accepts dental implants.
A single dental implant can replace a lone tooth, filling in the gap to recreate a fully functional smile. Even one missing tooth can make eating and speaking hard, but with one zirconia implant, we can give you back your full, complete smile.
Missing two or more teeth usually requires a traditional dental bridge; however, we can, instead, place two dental implants into the exterior sockets and attach an implant bridge to fill in the gap. This eliminates the need to alter healthy, existing teeth.
When no natural teeth remain, we can place between four and eight dental implants before securing a customized denture on top. This method of treatment offers more security and functionality than a traditional denture and doesn’t require messy adhesives.
The cost of dental implants varies from patient to patient. No two cases are exactly alike, which is why a scheduled consultation with our team is essential. During this visit, we’ll evaluate how many dental implants you will need, the location of placement, the type of restoration you require, and if you need any preliminary treatments. We will create a formalized estimate, so you’re aware of the total cost. We’ll then work with you to establish ways to maximize your dental insurance benefits and help you get the most out of your plan.
