Missing teeth affects more than just your smile. They compromise your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain the structural integrity of your jawbone, which can lead to further tooth loss and facial changes over time.
At Middlesex Periodontics & Dental Implants, Dr. Daniel Reich offers advanced dental implant solutions to restore missing teeth with results that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. As a board-certified periodontist with over 28 years of experience, Dr. Reich provides same-day emergency appointments and accepts patients directly without requiring a referral from your general dentist, ensuring prompt access to the implant care you need throughout Sayreville and the surrounding New Jersey communities.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration, it provides a stable foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or implant-supported overdentures.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges that rest on the gums or rely on adjacent teeth for support, dental implants preserve bone density and maintain the natural contours of your face. Research published in the National Library of Medicine demonstrates that dental implants have high long-term survival rates when placed by experienced practitioners, with studies showing cumulative survival rates exceeding 90% over extended periods.
The approach to dental implant treatment varies based on the number of teeth being replaced and the condition of the supporting bone. Dr. Reich offers comprehensive implant options tailored to each patient’s unique needs, serving patients from Sayreville’s diverse neighborhoods, including Parlin, Melrose, and South Amboy border areas:
Each option offers distinct advantages depending on your specific needs and oral health status.
The dental implant journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation that includes detailed imaging and assessment of your bone density, oral health, and overall medical history. This planning phase allows Dr. Reich to determine the optimal placement positions and angles for your implants based on your anatomy and restoration goals.
During the surgical phase, Dr. Reich places the titanium implants into precise locations within the jawbone using advanced surgical techniques developed through nearly three decades of clinical experience. For patients who lack sufficient bone density, bone grafting procedures can be performed to create a stable foundation for implant placement. In many cases, minor bone grafts can be completed at the same time as implant placement, reducing the total number of appointments needed.
After implant placement, a healing period of several months allows the implants to integrate with the surrounding bone. Dr. Reich offers high-quality temporary restorations for full arch cases, allowing patients to leave with functional teeth the day after their implant surgery rather than waiting months for final restorations. Once integration is complete, abutments are attached to the implants, and your final restorations are secured in place.

Dental implants offer distinct advantages over traditional tooth replacement methods. They prevent the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth extraction, maintaining the structural support for your remaining teeth and facial features. This preservation of bone density helps you avoid the sunken facial appearance that often develops with long-term denture use.
The stability of dental implants eliminates the slipping, clicking, and adhesive requirements associated with removable dentures. You can eat your favorite foods, speak with confidence, and maintain your oral hygiene routine without the restrictions that come with traditional prosthetics. Dental implants also protect your remaining natural teeth by not requiring the grinding down of adjacent healthy teeth as traditional bridges do.
With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, making them a cost-effective long-term investment in your oral health. For patients who qualify, immediate dental implant placement can be performed at the time of tooth extraction, reducing the number of surgical procedures and shortening overall treatment time.
