Dental Implants in Mountainside, NJ

Need a permanent solution for tooth loss? At the office of Jay A. Zimmerman, DMD, we offer dental implants as a modern and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Implants offer a durable, natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures or bridges.

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone. Over time, these posts fuse with your bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation for replacing missing teeth. As an added benefit, implants support a healthier jawbone and allow for a fuller facial appearance.

Top benefits of dental implants include:

• Durability: Dental implants are highly durable and can last for many years with proper care.
• Natural appearance: Implants can be fitted with crowns, bridges, or dentures that closely resemble your natural teeth.
• Improved function: Implants can help you eat, speak, and smile more confidently.
• Preservation of jawbone: Unlike dentures, implants help to preserve your jawbone, preventing facial sagging.

What is the Dental Implant Treatment Process?

At our dental office in Mountainside, NJ, the implant treatment process includes the following steps:

• Consultation: Your dentist will assess your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants.
• Surgery: The implants are surgically placed into your jawbone.
• Healing: The implants will need time to heal and integrate with your jawbone.
• Restorative work: Once the implants have healed, a dental crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to them.

Overdentures

Overdentures are a type of denture that rests on top of natural teeth or dental implants. They offer a more stable and comfortable fit compared to traditional dentures. Overdentures can be either fixed or removable, depending on the number of natural teeth or implants used to support them.  Call Dr. Jay Zimmerman to schedule an appointment.

Hybrid Implant Dentures

Hybrid dentures are a type of denture that combines elements of traditional dentures and implant-supported dentures. They typically involve a partial denture that is supported by both natural teeth and dental implants. This hybrid approach offers a balance of stability, comfort, and affordability. Hybrid dentures can be a good option for individuals who have lost some teeth but still have enough natural teeth to support a denture.  Give Dr. Jay Zimmerman a call to discuss your denture needs.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures are a type of denture that is anchored to dental implants, providing a more secure and stable fit compared to traditional dentures. These dentures can be either fixed or removable, depending on the number of implants used and the patient's preferences. Implant-retained dentures offer several benefits, including improved stability, chewing function, and comfort. They can also help to preserve jawbone density and prevent facial sagging.
