The benefits of replacing a missing tooth stretch far beyond aesthetics. Filling in gaps between teeth improves your ability to speak and eat. Restoring missing teeth also enhances comfort, self-esteem, and your overall oral health. Those who have lost teeth due to decay, gingivitis, and injury have options beyond traditional bridges and dentures. If you are missing a tooth or several teeth and would like to increase bite strength and fill in gaps, consider visiting our Fort Lee, New Jersey office for dental implants.
If you are missing any or all of your original teeth, dental implants may be an ideal option for you. Dental implants are a longer-lasting treatment for missing teeth than traditional fixed bridges. They provide a firm foundation for replacement teeth on their own, without the support of neighboring teeth. Made of pure titanium, dental implants are artificial tooth roots which are held in place by the jawbone and capped by aesthetic crowns that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Unlike porcelain veneers, which mask damaged teeth, dental implants replace teeth which have been lost entirely. Ideal candidates for dental implants have healthy gums and enough bone to securely hold the implants.
To properly address your individual dental needs, our practice believes in formulating a customized treatment plan for every dental implant patient who enters our office. Dr. Dennis Walker is experienced in implant placement and restoration and will discuss the procedure with you, examine your teeth, and respond to any questions or concerns you may have. Anderson Dental has the advantage of having three renowned cosmetic dentists on our staff instead of just one. Our experience, commitment to our patients, and quality of services is unmatched by other practices in the New York City and Fort Lee, New Jersey areas. Dental implants should feel as natural as possible. Anderson Dental’s customized treatment plan is designed to ensure you receive the most comfortable, natural-looking dental implants. Contact us today for your consultation.
When you visit Anderson Dental for implant placement, you will meet again with Dr. Walker to discuss the treatment in greater detail. After anesthesia has been administered, Dr. Walker will place a small titanium post in the bone socket of your missing tooth. Over the next several months, your bone will grow and heal around the implant, anchoring it in your jaw as though it were a real tooth root. Once our dentists are satisfied that the implant is securely fastened to the jaw, Dr. Walker will take an impression of your teeth and have a replacement tooth crafted based on this model. The color, shape, and texture of the crown will be customized for a natural fit in your mouth. Once the crown is affixed to your teeth, you will be able to experience the confidence, feel, and functionality of a full set of teeth.
Because dental implants fit into the jaw as natural teeth do, they are exceptionally durable and may be cared for just like normal teeth. Normal oral health maintenance, including brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, is all that’s necessary. Many of our patients choose to combine dental implants with other cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as teeth whitening, to further restore brilliance to their smiles. Your implants will last for years, and in many cases, they last a lifetime.
