Dental Implants Warren, NJ
Missing teeth can significantly impact your quality of life, affecting everything from your ability to enjoy your favorite foods to your confidence when smiling. Dental implants offer a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
Dental implants are a revolutionary tooth replacement solution that can restore both function and aesthetics to your smile. At Warren Oral Surgery, our team of six highly skilled surgeons has extensive experience in dental implant procedures, utilizing the latest surgical technology in our recently renovated facility.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These biocompatible posts fuse with your natural bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don’t slip or click when you talk, laugh, or eat.
The complete implant system consists of three parts:
- The implant post (titanium screw that replaces the root)
- The abutment (connector piece that attaches to the implant)
- The crown (custom-made artificial tooth that matches your natural teeth)
According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, dental implants have a success rate of over 95%, making them one of the most reliable tooth replacement options available in modern dentistry.
Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement methods, such as:
Improved Appearance and Confidence
Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth. The custom-designed crowns are color-matched to your existing teeth, creating a seamless smile. Many patients report renewed confidence in social and professional settings after their implant procedure.
Enhanced Comfort and Functionality
Unlike removable dentures, implants become a permanent part of your mouth. You won’t experience the discomfort or inconvenience of removing and cleaning dentures, and you can eat virtually anything without worrying about your teeth shifting or falling out.
Preservation of Jaw Bone and Facial Structure
When you lose a tooth, the jawbone beneath it begins to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that stimulates natural bone growth, helping preserve your facial structure and prevent the sunken appearance that often occurs with long-term denture use.
Long-Term Oral Health
Dental implants don’t require altering adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridges. This means more of your natural teeth remain intact, benefiting your long-term oral health. Implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with good general and oral health are candidates for dental implants. However, several factors may affect your eligibility. They include the following:
- Adequate bone density: Sufficient jawbone volume is necessary to support the implant. If bone loss has occurred, procedures like bone grafting can help create a suitable foundation for implants.
- Healthy gums: Gum disease can compromise implant success, so any periodontal issues should be addressed before implant placement.
- Good overall health: Certain medical conditions and medications may affect healing and osseointegration. During your consultation, our surgeons will review your medical history to ensure implants are right for you.
- Commitment to oral hygiene: Long-term implant success requires diligent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, dental implants have the potential to last for decades or even a lifetime.
The Dental Implant Process
The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps spread over a few months:
- Comprehensive evaluation and treatment planning
- Implant placement surgery
- Healing period (osseointegration)
- Abutment placement
- Custom crown creation and attachment
For some patients, we may be able to offer immediate-load implants, where temporary teeth are placed on the same day as implant surgery. Our surgeons will determine if this option is suitable for your specific case.
Surgical Advances in Dental Implants
At Warren Oral Surgery, we utilize the latest advances in dental implant technology to offer single-stage implants that eliminate the need for a second uncovering procedure. While these innovative implants still require a minimum six-week healing period before final restoration, they significantly reduce the overall treatment timeline. In select cases, we can even place implants simultaneously with tooth extraction, further minimizing surgical interventions and enhancing patient comfort.
Dental implant success relies on seamless collaboration between our oral surgeons and your restorative dentist. Our surgeons perform the implant placement, extractions, and any necessary bone grafting, while your dentist creates and fits both temporary and permanent prostheses. This team approach, combined with our recently renovated facility featuring 15 state-of-the-art operatories, ensures exceptional results.

“Don’t be afraid to Smile.”
For years I’d felt like a part of my body was missing — because my teeth were. My dentist told me that dental implants would make me feel and look a lot better. OK, I said. Now, I’m thrilled. I can smile, eat anything, and enjoy a good laugh with my friends.
