Missing teeth can affect everything from your ability to eat comfortably to your confidence in social situations. Dental implants offer a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, Dr. Daniel Reich provides comprehensive implant dentistry to Edison residents, combining 28 years of experience with advanced technology to restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Whether you’re missing a single tooth or need a full-arch restoration, dental implants provide a stable foundation that preserves your jawbone health while giving you back the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Our practice welcomes patients without referrals and offers same-day emergency appointments for urgent dental concerns.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with your bone through a process called osseointegration, it serves as a stable anchor for replacement teeth such as crowns or bridges. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges that rest on your gums or adjacent teeth, implants become part of your jaw structure.
The titanium material is biocompatible, meaning your body accepts it naturally without rejection. This integration typically takes several months, during which the bone grows around the implant to hold it firmly in place. Once healing is complete, a custom restoration is attached to complete your smile.
Dental implants offer advantages that other tooth replacement options cannot match. They prevent bone loss that occurs when tooth roots are missing, maintaining your facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance that can develop over time. The American Dental Association notes that proper oral care is vital for maintaining both natural teeth and dental restorations.
Implants also protect your remaining natural teeth. Traditional bridges require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth to serve as anchors, while implants stand independently without affecting neighboring teeth. This preservation of your natural tooth structure contributes to better long-term oral health.
Functionally, implants restore your full chewing power. You can eat all the foods you enjoy without worrying about slipping dentures or avoiding certain textures. Implants also eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience of removable prosthetics, giving you a permanent solution that requires the same care as natural teeth.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, full-arch dental implants provide a complete smile transformation. This approach uses four to six strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. The result is a stable, permanent solution that eliminates the need for traditional removable dentures.
Full-arch treatment can often be completed more quickly than replacing each tooth individually. In many cases, temporary teeth can be attached on the same day as implant placement, allowing you to leave with a functional smile while your permanent restoration is crafted. Dr. Reich uses high-quality temporary prosthetics that provide comfort and aesthetics during the healing phase.
Implant-supported overdentures offer another full-arch option. These removable dentures snap onto implants for superior stability compared to traditional dentures, while still allowing you to remove them for cleaning. This option provides an excellent balance of security and convenience for patients who prefer a removable restoration.
Your implant journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Reich examines your oral health, reviews your medical history, and uses advanced 3D imaging to assess your jawbone structure. This planning phase ensures precise implant placement and identifies whether any preparatory procedures, such as bone grafting, are needed to ensure successful integration.
During the surgical phase, implants are placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia. Dr. Reich incorporates the latest technology, including 3D printing for surgical guides, to ensure accuracy and optimal outcomes. Most patients report that the procedure is far more comfortable than they anticipated, and many return to normal activities within a day or two.
The healing period allows your bone to fuse with the implants, creating a stable foundation for your new teeth. Once integration is complete, abutments are attached to the implants, and your custom restorations are secured. The entire process typically takes several months, but the result is a permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC stays at the forefront of implant dentistry through continuous incorporation of proven technologies. Dr. Reich’s role as Director and Associate Professor of Periodontics at Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College keeps him connected to the latest advances in the field.
Our practice utilizes LANAP laser therapy for treating gum disease, which can be essential for ensuring implant success. Healthy gums provide the foundation for successful implant integration, and addressing any periodontal issues before or during treatment optimizes your outcome.
The office also employs 3D printing technology for creating precise surgical guides. These guides map out the exact position and angle for each implant, enhancing accuracy and reducing procedure time. This technology-driven approach contributes to predictable results and comfortable treatment experiences.

We also participate with Delta Dental Premier and Cigna PPO, and our team assists with insurance claims and pre-treatment estimates to help you understand your coverage.
During your consultation, we provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent cost information.
