Missing teeth create more than just a gap in your smile. They affect how you chew, how you speak, and even how your jawbone holds up over time. Without a tooth root in place, the bone beneath the gum line begins to deteriorate, and neighboring teeth can shift out of alignment. For residents of Old Bridge, NJ, who are dealing with one or more missing teeth, dental implants offer a permanent, bone-supported solution that restores full function and a natural appearance.
At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, we treat patients from Old Bridge who are ready to move beyond temporary fixes and invest in a long-term answer for tooth loss. Led by Dr. Daniel Reich, a board-certified periodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, our practice is committed to placing implants with precision and care. Dr. Reich earned his D.M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his periodontal residency at SUNY Stony Brook, and he currently serves as Director and Associate Professor of Periodontics at Touro College of Dental Medicine. No referral is needed to schedule a consultation.
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, where they function as artificial tooth roots. Over the course of several months, the post fuses with the surrounding bone through a natural process called osseointegration, forming a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or implant-supported restoration. The result is a tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing.
Titanium is biocompatible, meaning the body accepts it without rejection in the vast majority of cases. Once the post has fully integrated with the bone, it also helps preserve jawbone density the way natural tooth roots do. Research published by the American Dental Association found that single-tooth implants can achieve survival rates of 95.6% over nearly four decades, underscoring their durability as a long-term restoration.
Most adults who have lost one or more teeth are candidates for dental implants. Good candidates typically have adequate bone density to support the implant post and healthy gum tissue free from active periodontal disease. If bone loss has occurred, procedures such as bone grafting for implants may be recommended before implant placement to rebuild the necessary foundation. During your consultation, Dr. Reich will evaluate your oral health, review imaging, and outline a personalized treatment plan.
Old Bridge residents facing tooth loss have several implant-based solutions to choose from, depending on how many teeth are missing and the condition of the jawbone.
For patients missing one tooth, a single-tooth dental implant replaces both the root and the visible crown without involving adjacent teeth. Unlike a traditional bridge, no healthy enamel needs to be removed from neighboring teeth. The result blends seamlessly with the surrounding smile.
Patients who have lost all or most of their teeth in an upper or lower arch may be candidates for full-arch dental implants. This approach uses a limited number of strategically placed implants to support a complete arch of teeth. At our practice, Dr. Reich places the implants and inserts a high-quality temporary prosthesis the following day, giving patients immediate function and comfort while the final restoration is prepared. The temporary we provide is carefully crafted to be more comfortable than what many patients experience elsewhere.
For patients who need a removable but implant-retained option, implant-supported overdentures snap securely onto implant posts and eliminate the slipping and discomfort associated with conventional dentures. This option gives patients significantly improved stability and confidence throughout the day.
Every implant case at our practice begins with a thorough consultation and diagnostic imaging. From there, the treatment timeline is outlined based on your specific needs.
The general stages of dental implant treatment include:
Each step is performed with precision, and our team supports patients throughout the process to make it as comfortable as possible.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants needed, whether bone grafting is required, and the type of restoration involved. At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, single dental implants start at $2,500, and full-arch restorations typically range from $30,000 to $35,000.
For patients who need help managing costs, we offer financing through Cherry, a patient-friendly payment option that allows treatment without delaying care. We proudly participate with Delta Dental Premier and Cigna PPO and work with many other dental PPO plans.
