Dental Implants

New Jersey Dental Implant Dentists

Implant dentistry enables Fort Lee dental implant dentist Dr. Zampieri to create healthy, attractive smiles that are more lasting and comfortable than conventional bridges and dentures.

The dental implant consists of a titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone, replacing the natural tooth root. This metal post securely attaches to the bone (called “osseointegration”) and is then topped by a durable, beautiful, porcelain crown allowing it to withstand biting and chewing forces just like a healthy, natural tooth.

Because they maintain bone mass, dental implants can help prevent additional tooth loss as well as the sunken facial appearance associated with missing teeth.

Are Dental Implants Right For Me?

The primary limiting factor inherent in implant dentistry is the amount of bone available to receive and support the dental implant. If it’s determined that a patient does not have enough bone to support a dental implant restoration, bone grafting procedures may be considered. Heavy smoking and some medical conditions may preclude the use of dental implant therapy.

Patients who successfully pass a screening and evaluation with a dental implant dentist can be considered as candidates for implant dentistry.
