Dental Implants in Teaneck NJ

Missing teeth impact your normal daily activities. Chewing and eating food may become difficult and cause discomfort when you have one or multiple missing teeth. Interacting with others in the way you’d like can also be challenging when you don’t feel confident about your smile.

Dental implants offer a permanent, fixed solution for restoring missing teeth that is as close as you can get to natural teeth because they restore both your root and tooth. Dr. Shteingart can guide you through the entire process, including implant placement, here at our Teaneck dental office, so you don’t have to seek out a specialist for your care, and you can work with the team you trust.

How Tooth Implants Work

The process begins by replacing your root with the implant during a surgical procedure. Since the implant is made from biocompatible titanium, it naturally fuses with your bone over time, taking the place of your root and becoming part of your dental anatomy. This can take around three to six months.

When your implant is fully integrated with your bone, it’s ready to support your new tooth, a customized porcelain crown that Dr. Shteingart designs to blend seamlessly with your smile.

Dental implants can also support prosthetics, such as a bridge or denture, so patients missing multiple teeth can also benefit from the advantages of implants.

The Advantages of Choosing Dental Implants in Teaneck for Your Smile

Dental implants became the gold standard of tooth replacement over the years because of the excellent advantages they offer:

• Guards against bone loss: When you replace your tooth root with a dental implant, it is no longer susceptible to bone deterioration and loss that occurs without root replacement.
• Preserves bite alignment: Without a tooth replacement, healthy teeth move and shift into the open spaces left by missing teeth. This results in bite misalignment, which could cause damage to teeth or jaw joint problems.
• Simple home care: You’ll be able to brush and floss your implant tooth just like a natural tooth, making it easy to care for.
• Excellent longevity: Tooth implants can last many years, sometimes a lifetime, with excellent home care and regular dental checkups.
• Great aesthetics and function: An implant tooth looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
• An impressive success rate: Dental implants are a highly reliable procedure, boasting a 90 percent success rate.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

To succeed, tooth implants require the patient to have good overall health and enough healthy bone for support.

If you lack enough bone support, Dr. Shteingart may recommend a bone grafting procedure to rebuild your bone and strengthen it enough to support an implant.

During an evaluation, Dr. Shteingart can determine your needs and whether dental implants suit you.
