Dental implants in Monroe Township, NJ, come in various sizes to meet your needs. But as far as implant type, we offer three:
- Single dental implants
- Implant-supported bridges
- Implant-supported dentures
Dental implants are tooth root replacements. However, we can cap these artificial roots with quality prosthetics and restorations.
Single Dental Implants
A single dental implant means we surgically place one artificial tooth root into your jawbone. After a period of healing and integration, we cap this root with a dental crown. The crown is custom shaped and colored to match your natural teeth.
You can choose one dental implant or several based on your needs and budget.
Implant-Supported Bridges
An implant-supported bridge is one or two teeth fixed to the jaw using a single dental implant. The missing teeth should be in the same area and adjacent. We can also fix a dental bridge to healthy teeth using dental crowns for support.
Implant Supported Dentures
For patients with complete tooth loss, we recommend implant-supported dentures in Monroe Township, NJ. This approach gives you all the practicality of dentures with the stability of implants. Typically, we use four to six dental implants per arch to support a denture.
Getting Started with Dental Implants
Your first step is meeting the dentist and discussing your goals. We also provide an oral health check to ensure you’re suitable for dental implants. If you are, we will schedule your implant surgery.
Dental implant surgery is not particularly painful, but you may notice some swelling and mild discomfort later in the evening and for a few days following your treatment. We recommend an over-the-counter option like ibuprofen for the best results.
After your implants integrate into the jawbone, you’re ready for your dental crown, bridge, or fixed denture.
