What is an Implant?
Dental implants are a permanent and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They look, feel, and function like real teeth while helping preserve your jawbone and overall oral health. The implant is placed into the jawbone to act as a strong tooth root, then topped with a custom dental crown for a beautiful, confident smile.
At Allstate Dental in Newark, NJ, we use advanced dental technology and high quality materials to provide durable, long lasting dental implants. Whether you need single tooth implants or full smile restoration, our experienced Newark implant dentist team is committed to helping you smile confidently again.
What is the process of an Implant?
1. Bone Graft
(If needed)
If your jawbone isn’t thick or strong enough to support an implant, a bone graft may be done first. This helps create a solid foundation for the implant and ensures long-term success.
2. Implant
Once your bone is ready, (usually after 4 months) a small titanium post (the implant) is surgically placed into the jaw. This post acts like the root of a natural tooth and will need time to heal.
3. Uncovering
After healing for roughly 2 months, we gently expose the top of the implant and place a small connector (called an abutment) to prepare for your new tooth. This step is usually quick and comfortable.
4. Crown Placement
Finally, a custom-made dental crown is attached to the abutment. It takes around 15-20 days after the uncovering. It’s shaped and color-matched to blend perfectly with your natural teeth, giving you a strong, beautiful smile that feels completely natural.
