At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, PC, we specialize in state-of-the-art dental implant placement to help restore missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking solutions. Dr. Daniel Reich, a board-certified periodontist, uses advanced technology and surgical precision to ensure that patients receive the best possible care when undergoing dental implant placement.
Dental implants are titanium posts that serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong, long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, implants integrate with the jawbone, preserving facial structure and preventing bone loss.
Whether you are missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or need full arch restoration, dental implants offer superior durability and functionality.
Before placing a dental implant, Dr. Daniel Reich conducts a thorough evaluation, including:
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation for maximum comfort. The steps include:
During osseointegration, the implant fuses with the jawbone, ensuring maximum stability. This healing phase generally lasts 3-6 months.
Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant post, and a custom-made dental crown is securely placed, restoring the functionality and aesthetics of a natural tooth.
Implants are typically placed several months after a tooth extraction, allowing the site to heal. However, in some cases, immediate implant placement may be possible if bone and gum conditions are favorable.
If a tooth has been missing for a long time, bone resorption may occur, requiring bone grafting before implant placement. Dr. Reich will assess your condition and recommend the best timeline for your treatment.
Bone loss in the jaw may require bone grafting to provide adequate support for dental implants. Types of bone grafting procedures include:
