Missing teeth can affect both confidence and oral health, making it difficult to eat, speak and smile comfortably. Dental implants provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that restores both function and aesthetics. At our dental office, Dr. Joyce Ma offers implant dentistry in Montgomery, New Jersey, to help patients achieve stronger, healthier smiles with advanced tooth replacement options.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they integrate with the jawbone, creating a stable and permanent foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants do not rely on surrounding teeth for support, preserving overall oral health.
Our dentists and team customize each treatment plan to ensure a comfortable fit and long-lasting results.

The Benefits of Implant Dentistry

Dental implants offer several advantages that make them a preferred choice for tooth replacement:

  • Permanent and Durable: Designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
  • Natural Look and Feel: Mimics the appearance and function of real teeth.
  • Preserves Jawbone Health: Prevents bone loss that occurs after tooth loss.
  • Improved Comfort: Eliminates slipping or discomfort associated with traditional dentures.
  • Better Oral Health: Does not require the alteration of healthy adjacent teeth.

How the Implant Process Works

The dental implant process typically involves several steps to ensure a secure and successful outcome:

  1. Comprehensive Consultation: We evaluate your oral health and bone density to determine implant suitability.
  2. Implant Placement: A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as the artificial tooth root.
  3. Healing and Integration: Over several months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
  4. Final Restoration: A custom-made crown, bridge or denture is securely attached to the implant for a natural finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, dental implants can often be placed alongside existing restorations. We will assess your oral health and recommend the best approach for integrating implants with your current dental work.

Can I get dental implants if I have existing dental work, such as crowns or bridges?
A comprehensive evaluation, including digital imaging, will determine if your jawbone is dense enough to support implants. If necessary, bone grafting may be recommended to improve bone volume.

How do I know if I have enough bone for dental implants?
No, dental implants are permanently placed in the jawbone and function like natural teeth. Unlike dentures, they do not require removal for cleaning or sleeping.

Are dental implants removable like dentures?
Mild discomfort is normal during the healing process, but persistent pain should be evaluated by us. Proper aftercare and follow-up visits help ensure a smooth recovery.

What should I do if I feel discomfort after getting a dental implant?
Unlike bridges, which rely on neighboring teeth for support, implants stand independently and do not require the alteration of surrounding teeth, helping to preserve overall oral health.
