At Little Silver Family Dental, Dr. Joseph DiBenedetto is an expert at restoring the smiles of patients who have lost teeth. Whether you are missing one tooth or a whole set of teeth or need multiple tooth extractions, we provide premier dental implant services near Little Silver, NJ, and beyond!
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants are durable, natural-looking replacements made using titanium posts surgically embedded into the jawbone, allowing dental implants to be attached. With a secure attachment, dental implants don't require special glues, and no food restrictions exist. Whether a patient is missing one or several teeth, dental implants from Little Silver Family Dental excellently restore the look and function of the smile. Even better, they promote bone growth in the jaw, making them the healthiest tooth replacement choice today!
Dental implants are replacement teeth directly fused to your jaw using a post planted into the bone. The post is titanium, a metal used in implant and joint replacement surgeries. Titanium is valued for its biocompatibility, which integrates with your natural bone better than other metals that may cause allergic reactions. The post is embedded in your jaw, fusing with the bone over time. The prosthetic tooth or crown attaches to the post and is designed to resemble and function like a natural tooth.
We provide the following dental implant systems at our Little Silver, NJ dental office:
- All-on-4® Dental Implants
- Implant-Retained Dentures
- Overdentures
All-on-4® Dental Implants
The All-on-4 dental implant technique offers a durable, immediate solution for those seeking an alternative to conventional removable dentures. This innovative approach allows for the installation of a complete set of teeth on the same day of the procedure.
By anchoring four titanium posts into the upper or lower jaw, this method provides more excellent stability than traditional implants by fusing with the bone and attaching to tailored dentures. The All-on-4 system ensures a comfortable, personalized fit, producing aesthetically pleasing and lifelike teeth.
Implant-Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures represent an advancement in dental prosthetics, offering partial or complete dentures supported by dental implants for a secure and healthier attachment. These dentures significantly improve over conventional options, providing a snug fit that supports jawbone health. Though they require the same daily maintenance as regular dentures, their removability adds convenience to this bone-preserving option.
Overdentures
Overdentures provide a stable, innovative solution for those missing teeth, using dental implants or existing teeth for support. They are removable, allowing easy cleaning yet giving the comfort and stability of fixed prosthetics. With overdentures, our patients enjoy a natural-looking smile and restored function, improving chewing and oral health while preventing bone loss from missing teeth.
