Missing teeth can make everyday activities like eating, speaking, and smiling more difficult and stressful. Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a remarkable, lasting solution: dental implants.
At Randolph Dental Associates in Randolph, NJ, Dr. Christopher G. Kaplan and our team provide top-quality dental implants and precise placement to restore both the beauty and function of your smile and bite, with a completely natural feel.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
The primary reason dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement is that they replace both a tooth’s crown (the visible part above the gums) and the missing root beneath the gumline. Each implant consists of a small titanium peg surgically embedded into the jaw, which fuses naturally with the bone (via osseointegration) to create a strong foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants:
- Prevent jawbone loss and facial sagging
- Offer superior stability and chewing power
- Require no special adhesives or maintenance beyond normal brushing and flossing
- Can last 20 years or longer, even a lifetime, with proper care
The Dental Implant Process
At Randolph Dental Associates, Dr. Kaplan tailors every implant procedure to the patient’s needs. After a comprehensive exam and digital imaging, he’ll design a personalized plan that ensures optimal comfort, alignment, and long-term success. The treatment process includes:
- Placement of the implant in the jawbone.
- Several months of healing, during which osseointegration fuses the implant securely to the bone.
- Final restoration with a custom dental crown, bridge, or denture, to ensure a seamless, natural finish.
Caring for Your Dental Implants
Dental implant care is simple. In fact, it’s the same as caring for a natural tooth:
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene
- Brush twice daily
- Floss regularly
- Schedule and attend routine cleanings and checkups
- Avoiding smoking and smokeless tobacco
- Address chronic teeth grinding (bruxism) to minimize stress on your implants
