Dental Implants
Do you hide your smile due to missing teeth? Or do you struggle to chew during mealtimes? Dental implants can address both concerns. Plus, they have another added benefit: by stimulating your bone tissue, they improve your health and prevent bone resorption.
Explore all the advantages when you visit Dr. Youstina Mantias in East Brunswick, NJ.
What Are Dental Implants?
Attached to our natural teeth, we have roots. These roots keep each tooth in place and stimulate the bone tissue to keep the jaw strong. Only one type of dental treatment can replace lost roots: implants.
Dental implants are titanium screws placed securely in your jawbone by our qualified dentists. Once the area has healed, implants secure your custom restoration, like a denture or dental bridge.
Understanding Your Tooth Replacement Options
Dental implants are extremely versatile. Our East Brunswick team can pair your implants with restorations like:
Dental Crowns
For One Tooth
Discreet, durable, and dependable: dental implant-supported crowns are the whole package. Dr. Mantias commonly uses them to replace a single decayed, missing, or broken tooth.
While we will always try to save your natural teeth, you can trust us even during worst-case scenarios. If you need an extraction and restoration, we can provide care to restore your smile.
Dental Bridges
For Two or More Teeth
Some patients only need a few consecutive teeth replaced. Thanks to bridges, you can regain the smile you've lost.
While you've already learned about jawbone stimulation, bridges with dental implants are superior to traditional bridges in another way. Unlike traditional bridges, our dentists don't need to alter your surrounding natural teeth to secure your restoration.
Dentures
For a Partial or Full Arch
Have widespread or even complete tooth loss? At our East Brunswick practice, you can explore dental implants and restorations for even the most extensive needs.
In fact, both partial dentures and complete dentures can be secured by dental implants. Dental implant-supported dentures also have the added benefit of being more secure and natural-looking than traditional options.
The Amazing Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants provide a host of amazing benefits such as:
Superior Stability
Implant-supported restorations offer superior stability compared with traditional restorations. Removable dentures require messy denture adhesives to remain in place, and there is still a risk of slippage when you eat and speak. These restorations are secured directly to the implant posts, meaning you won't have to worry about your dentures slipping.
Premium Bone Support
Even a single missing tooth can cause the jawbone to begin to deteriorate. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots to provide the jaw with the stimulation it needs to stay strong and healthy, preventing sagging facial features and further tooth loss.
Restored Smile
Dental implants paired with a custom restoration can improve the health, function, and appearance of your smile. Implant-supported restorations provide a natural and beautiful solution to tooth loss, allowing you to eat the foods you love and speak with confidence once more.

Paying for Dental Implants
If you're weighing the pros and cons of dental implants, it helps to consider some facts about the treatment cost.
They're a Long-Term Investment
With good care, your implants can last for the rest of your life. They're an excellent investment in your oral health, functionality, and confidence, giving you superior results to traditional restorations.
They're Not Eligible for Insurance

Financing Is Available

Caring for Your New Smile
One of the benefits of implant-supported restorations is that they look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, which means caring for them is simple. To keep your smile beautiful for years to come, follow these tips:
It is very important to maintain good oral hygiene to keep your smile beautiful and healthy. Brush at least twice a day for two minutes. Use a soft-bristled brush and a nonabrasive toothpaste. Don't forget to floss!
Regular exams and cleanings are another way to keep your smile healthy. Maintain regular visits to our East Brunswick office so your dentist can catch issues before they become worse. Professional cleanings can also help prevent build-up and issues like gum disease.
While dental implants and porcelain restorations are durable, it is very important that you do not use your teeth as a tool to open packages or bite your nails. This can cause damage to the restoration as well as your natural teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants in East Brunswick
Q. Does implant placement hurt?
A. No. Dr. Mantias will thoroughly numb the area and ensure you are completely comfortable before she begins your treatment. If at any point you feel any discomfort, please let your dental team know so they can make adjustments.
Q. How long do dental implants last?
A. Dental implants are made of durable titanium and are designed to last a lifetime, making them an excellent investment in your oral health. However, your denture, dental crown, or dental bridge will wear over time and eventually need to be replaced. Restorations that are properly cared for and maintained can last for up to 15 years or more.
