Do I Need Dental Implants?
Have you noticed missing teeth? Even with consistent oral hygiene, everyday wear and tear can still impact our teeth, leading to tooth loss. This can happen due to a variety of reasons such as accidents, aging, decay, illness, and more.
No matter what caused the tooth loss, the goal is the same: to restore a beautiful, healthy smile. Dental implants are an effective solution to restore your oral health and revitalize your smile if you've lost one or more teeth.
Dental Implants Are Often the Top Choice for Replacements.
- Natural Appearance: Dental implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a realistic smile.
- Comfortable: Once healed, implants provide a pain-free, secure fit, letting you eat comfortably.
- Low Maintenance: Care for them just like your natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing.
- Promote Oral Health: Unlike other options, implants protect your jaw and gums, preventing bone loss.
- Long-Lasting: Implants are designed to last a lifetime, offering unmatched durability.
What Does the Dental Implant Procedure Involve?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jaw to serve as artificial "roots," providing a stable foundation for your new tooth, bridge, or denture. Each implant is topped with a dental crown, which not only enhances the appearance of the missing tooth but also offers a functional surface for chewing. At The Art of Smile Dental, our advanced same-day dental crowns allow our dentists to design and fit your crown in a single visit, making the restoration process faster and more efficient than ever!
Which Type of Dental Implant Is Right for Me?
At The Art of Smile Dental, we’ll recommend the most suitable dental implant for your tooth loss. A consultation with Dr. Zev Segal will help determine the ideal implant option to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
Single Dental Implant
If you lose a tooth due to decay or trauma, a single dental implant can help restore your confidence and smile. This procedure involves combining a titanium implant with a natural-looking dental crown to replace both the root and surface of the missing tooth. With this solution, you can continue to smile, speak, and eat your favorite foods just like you did with your natural tooth.
Implant Retained Dentures
Implant-supported dentures, also known as "overdentures," can greatly enhance the quality of life for many patients. Missing teeth can make simple activities like eating and speaking challenging. At our Whippany, NJ office, patients can experience relief from the discomfort of traditional dentures with these removable "snap-in" dentures, securely held in place by dental implants.
All-on-4® Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implants, also known as "Teeth-in-a-Day," provide a secure connection between your implants and a prosthesis, allowing you to use your new teeth immediately. This permanent, non-removable solution can offer a complete smile in just one day, depending on your individual case. At our Whippany, NJ office, our skilled dentists and restorative dentistry team will handle most of the preparation before your implant surgery, ensuring a smooth process.
Hybrid Implant Dentures
Hybrid implant dentures provide an innovative solution for patients looking to replace full rows of teeth. This advanced treatment involves securing dentures to dental implants, offering a permanent and stable option. If you're struggling with discomfort from traditional dentures slipping or causing gum irritation, hybrid implant dentures could be the ideal choice for you.
How Should I Prepare for My Dental Implant Procedure?
In some cases, patients may need preliminary treatments to prepare their mouths for dental implants. After a consultation, Dr. Zev Segal may recommend one of the following procedures to ensure you're ready for your dental implants:
- Bone Graft
- Gum Graft
- Socket Preservation

At The Art of Smile Dental, we recognize that the cost of dental implants can differ based on various factors. After a consultation with our team, we will provide an accurate estimate.

Restoration of Dental Implants
Although complications with dental implants are uncommon, they can occur. If you notice a loose implant, gum swelling, or a cracked crown, contact The Art of Smile Dental as soon as possible.
