What Are Dental Implants?

A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw.

The difference is that the implant is made of titanium – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints. You lose both the root and crown when you lose a tooth. To replace the tooth, the surgeon first replaces the root with a small dental implant.

Time is allowed for bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.  A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant, and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases, a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth.

I recently had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted at riverside oral surgery with Dr. Lynn. I have very fair skin and expected a lot of bruising and swelling, which to my surprise I have almost none of. Dr. Lynn is extremely professional and charismatic, and clearly a master in his field. I never expected to have such an easy and smooth recovery. Thank you Dr. Lynn and the rest of riverside oral staff for such a great experience!

I had a tooth extracted and bone graft done on Friday. Obviously a procedure like this is no fun for anyone, but I knew I was in the best care. Big shout out to Dr. Auerbach and the entire staff at Riverside Oral Surgery - River Edge. They are all kind, patient, respectful, gentle and caring. Aside from the amazing staff, the office is immaculate.

For years I’d felt like a part of my body was missing — because my teeth were. My dentist told me that dental implants would make me feel and look a lot better. OK, I said. Now, I’m thrilled. I can smile, eat anything, and enjoy a good laugh with my friends.

Surgical Advances

 

Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, our oral surgeons are able to place single-stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them but do require a minimum of six weeks of healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction – further minimizing your number of surgical procedures.

Dental implant placement is a team effort between an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a restorative dentist. Our oral surgeons perform the actual implant surgery, initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting if necessary. The restorative dentist (your dentist) fits and makes the permanent prosthesis. Your dentist will also make any temporary prosthesis needed during the implant process.
