Advantages of Dental Implants

Morristown, New Jersey, and the surrounding area

Tooth decay, gingivitis and injury are responsible for millions of teeth lost each year by Americans of all ages. Modern dental technology allows more advanced and longer lasting treatments for these problems than were ever available before. At Aesthetic Dentistry of Bernardsville, New Jersey, we remain up-to-date on the latest technology and techniques available to us in treating our patients.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are currently the most advanced method available for restoring teeth without the aid of dentures or bridges. Dental implants consist of three parts including the implant, the abutment and the restoration. Together, these parts complete the design of an independent and sturdy restoration that matches your natural teeth and can be used to replace one or more missing teeth.

Multiple Advantages

The advantages to using this method of tooth replacement include:

• Longer lasting restorations
• No need to rely on surrounding teeth for support
• No damage caused to surrounding teeth during placement
• No damage to surrounding gums during placement
• Less recession of gums and jaw bone

Dental implants are designed to fuse with your jaw bone, resulting in a permanent and reliable replacement of a missing tooth that closely resembles your healthy teeth and provides an improved appearance.

Many dental patients have suffered for years with poorly fitting dentures. The dental implant has removed the need to rely on this out-dated form of tooth replacement. Implants do not slip, impair speech or make eating a difficult task.

Overall, advantages of placement of dental implants include improved comfort, durability, better oral health, convenience and a heightened sense of self-esteem for patients who choose to have them placed.

The success rate of implant dentistry remains very high as and is available to most patients who are in good general health, have healthy gums and bones and are committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental care and check-ups.

The choice to have dental implants placed or to undergo any form of cosmetic dentistry procedure is a personal one and you should be well-informed and take part in a thorough consultation with a qualified cosmetic dentist before making any final decisions.
