In 1965, Swedish orthopedic surgeon Per Ingvar Branemark completed the first implant surgery. Since then, dental implants have become the staple of tooth replacement procedures.
Dental implants are titanium posts drilled into your jawbone that replace damaged or decayed tooth roots.
Dr. Best at Best Dental Care NJ in Newton, New Jersey, is a member of several apex dental health bodies in the country and very experienced in dental implant procedures. Dr. Best can help restore your confidence and smile and give you a new lease on life.
Dental implant surgery is similar to any outpatient surgical procedure. Once you arrive at our office in Newton, New Jersey, Dr. Best, and the team will seat you comfortably and give you a sedative before starting the process.
Next, Dr. Best will drill into your jawbone and place the titanium screw-like post before closing the incision.
The entire surgery takes 1 to 2 hours to complete for one implant. After the surgery, the implant will fuse with the jawbone through a naturally occurring process called osseointegration.
Once you heal and the implant is fully integrated into the jawbone, Dr. Best will place an artificial tooth on the implant to complete the tooth replacement procedure and restore your smile.
Dental implants offer both functional and cosmetic benefits. These include:
Dr. Best is a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the New Jersey Dental Association, among others. She has dedicated her life to transforming the lives of thousands of patients from Newton and surrounding towns.
