The Modern Solution for Missing Teeth
At Upper Deerfield Dental in Bridgeton, NJ, we specialize in restoring smiles with dental implants, the most advanced and reliable tooth replacement option available today. Unlike dentures or bridges that only sit on top of the gums, implants replace the tooth root itself, providing unmatched stability, function, and a natural appearance. For patients who want a lasting solution to tooth loss, implants are the gold standard.
Why Dental Implants Stand Out
Missing teeth affect more than just your smile. They can make it difficult to chew certain foods, cause speech issues, and lead to jawbone loss over time. Traditional replacements such as dentures and bridges can help, but they do not address the underlying problem — the missing root.
Dental implants do what no other option can:
- Fuse with the jawbone to create a stable foundation
- Prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure
- Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
- Eliminate the need for adhesives or removable appliances
- Provide long-lasting results with proper care
For patients in Bridgeton and the surrounding Cumberland County area, implants are the closest thing to regaining natural teeth.
What to Expect from Dental Implant Treatment
Every patient’s journey is unique, but here’s a general overview of how the process works:
Consultation and Planning:
We begin with a comprehensive exam, including 3D digital imaging, to evaluate your oral health and bone structure.
Implant Placement:
A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone, where it acts as an artificial root. Over time, the bone fuses with the implant through a process called osseointegration.
Healing Period:
Healing times vary, but this step ensures a stable foundation for your new tooth.
Abutment Placement:
Once the implant is secure, a connector (abutment) is attached to hold your restoration.
Final Restoration:
A custom crown, bridge, or denture is placed on top, completing your new smile.
Types of Implant Solutions
At Upper Deerfield Dental, we provide implant options for a variety of needs:
Single Tooth Implants:
Replace one missing tooth with a natural-looking crown.
Implant-Supported Bridges:
Replace multiple missing teeth without relying on natural teeth for support.
Full Mouth Dental Implants:
Replace an entire arch with a fixed, permanent solution that restores full function.
Implant-Supported Dentures:
Provide greater stability for dentures, eliminating slipping and clicking.
Benefits of Choosing Implants
Patients choose implants because they offer both immediate and long-term benefits:
- Eat your favorite foods with confidence
- Speak clearly without worrying about slipping dentures
- Improve oral health by protecting surrounding teeth and bone
- Enjoy a smile that looks natural and feels strong
- Long-lasting investment in your overall wellbeing
