As a stand-alone restoration, a single implant will restore your appearance and chewing function without compromising the adjoining teeth (as is necessary with a bridge).
Dental Implants.
Dental Implants solve many issues. Dental Implants may be used to retain partial or a full set of teeth for a more secure fit in the form of an implant bridge. The quality-of-life improvement is immeasurable, as denture-wearers discover they can smile, speak, and finally eat the food they love with confidence.
Dental implants are a safe, effective technique to replace missing teeth, with a tremendous long-term success rate. Most patients are good candidates for this therapy as dental implants have a higher success rate than any other dental procedure.
What To Expect During A Dental Implant Procedure
The process of getting dental implants at Garden State Dental Design involves several key steps:
- Initial Consultation: A thorough examination and discussion about your dental history and implant options.
- Treatment Planning: Personalized planning using advanced imaging technology to ensure precise implant placement.
- Implant Placement: The implant, a small titanium post, is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
- Healing Period: A period of healing (osseointegration) follows, where the implant fuses with the jawbone
- Abutment Placement: After healing, an abutment is attached to the implant to hold the new tooth.
- Artificial Tooth Attachment: Finally, a crown designed to match your natural teeth is attached to the abutment.
Each step is performed with the utmost care, ensuring comfort and optimal results throughout the procedure.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
- Improved Oral Health: Implants don’t require altering neighboring teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Durability: Implants are very durable and can last many years.
- Convenience: Implants eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures and the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
- Improved Self-Esteem: Dental implants can restore your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
- Improved Speech: Poor-fitting dentures can cause the teeth to slip within the mouth, leading to slurred speech. Implants allow you to speak without worry.
- Easier Eating: Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
- Oral Bone Health: Implants stimulate and preserve natural bone, actually helping to stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss.

Our Procedure.
You begin with a consultation discussing your ideal outcome to help us gain a full understanding for desiring such treatment.
After Your Consultation.
After which, a comprehensive exam is performed to gather all the necessary information to develop a customized treatment plan. During this exam, photos of your smile, digital impressions of your teeth and mouth, along with a 3D Ct-scan x-ray is taken to evaluate the health of your bone to better formulate a comprehensive treatment plan. A follow-up appointment is set up to go over treatment options for your desired transformation.
Bone-Grafting.
In the event where inadequate bone volume exists where teeth have been missing for quite some time, you might have to undergo a procedure of bone regeneration known as “bone-grafting” to rebuild the bone in anticipation of implant placement. At Garden State Dental Design, we use a homeopathic approach utilizing your own blood, in the form of PRGF Endoret® (Plasma Rich in Growth Factors). This is performed at the time of hopeless tooth removal or at the time of implant surgery to help with the regeneration of bone and soft tissue ensuring successful healing.
Once the bone has had time to heal, then in a single visit at the site of the missing tooth, Your biocompatible titanium screw is inserted into the jaw bone (about an hour with local numbing or sedation; if necessary) and that implant is left to heal and integrate for six-to- eight weeks.
Follow-Up.
During your follow up appointment, we evaluate the implant and determine when to start the process of preparing the site for receiving a tooth. Once the gums are prepared, a digital impression is taken to custom design the abutment and crown at our office. At your final visit, your new tooth is permanently placed onto the implant. Your new tooth looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth, and requires only regular good oral hygiene to last a lifetime.
