Replace Your Missing Teeth

Dental implants are changing the way people live! They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. A person who has lost their teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything. Their teeth appear natural and their facial contours are preserved. Patients with dental implants can smile once again with confidence.

Dental Implant FAQ:

What Are Dental Implants?

The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

What is involved in Dental Implant Surgical Procedure?

For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures:

First, implants are placed within your jawbone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually bonding with the jawbone. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this period. While this integration is occurring, your dentist is forming your new replacement teeth.

After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins. Dr. Gold will uncover the implants and attach small posts that protrude through the gums that will act as anchors for the artificial teeth. These posts will be covered and hidden from view by the artificial teeth that are placed. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients experience minimal disruption in their daily life.

What are new Dental Surgical Advances?

Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Gold is able to place single stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them but do require a minimum of six weeks of healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction – further minimizing your number of surgical procedures.

Dental implant placement is a team effort between an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon and a restorative dentist.  Dr. Gold performs the actual implant surgery, initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting if necessary.  The restorative dentist (your dentist) fits and makes the permanent prosthesis (tooth). Your dentist will also make any temporary prosthesis needed during the implant process.

What Types Of Prosthesis Are Available?

A single prosthesis (crown) is used to replace one missing tooth – each prosthetic tooth attaches to its own implant. A partial prosthesis (fixed bridge) can replace two or more teeth and may require only two or three implants. A complete dental prosthesis (fixed bridge) replaces all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. The number of implants varies depending upon a variety of factors. A removable prosthesis (over denture) attaches to a bar or ball-in-socket attachments, whereas a fixed prosthesis is permanent and removable only by the dentist.

Dr. Gold performs in-office implant surgery in a hospital-style operating suite. Inpatient hospital implant surgery is for patients who have special medical or anesthetic needs, or for those who need extensive bone grafting.

Why Dental Implants?

Dental implants can vastly improve your life. When you lose several teeth – whether it’s a new situation or something that you have lived with for years – chances are you’ve never become fully accustomed to missing such a vital part of yourself.

Dental implants can be your doorway to renewed self-confidence and peace of mind.

A Swedish scientist and orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Per-Ingvar Branemark, developed this concept for oral rehabilitation more than 35 years ago. With his pioneering research, Dr. Branemark opened the door to a lifetime of renewed comfort and self-confidence for millions of individuals facing the frustration and embarrassment of tooth loss.

Why Select Dental Implants Over More Traditional Types Of Restorations?

There are several reasons: A dental bridge sacrifices the structure of surrounding good, healthy teeth to bridge the space of the missing tooth/teeth. In addition, removing a denture or a “partial” at night may be inconvenient, not to mention dentures that slip can be uncomfortable and rather embarrassing.

Are You A Candidate For Implants?

If you are considering dental implants in Westfield NJ, your mouth must be examined thoroughly and your medical and dental history reviewed. If your mouth is not ideal for implants there are ways of improving the outcome, such as bone grafting, which may be recommended.

What Type Of Anesthesia Is Used?

The majority of dental implants and bone grafting can be performed in our office under local anesthesia, with or without general anesthesia.

Do Implants Need Special Care?

Once the implants are in place they will serve you well for many years if you take good care of them and keep your mouth healthy. Good oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) and keeping regular appointments with your dental specialists is key to the long-term success of dental implants.

Patient Review By Shayna L

I had a great experience ( about as good as you can get when having 4 wisdom teeth extracted). Dr. Gold was excellent. He lets you know what he is doing step by step and he moves quickly. I had minimal swelling and pain afterwards and I really believe its because he is really good at what he does. Also, his staff was wonderful. They called my insurance companies and worked out all the details. The whole office is very efficient. No waiting and scheduled my appointment easily. Hopefully I will not need to have any other teeth removed, but if I do, I'm going back to Dr. Gold.

Patient Review By Jeff B

I have used Dr. Gold for several extractions/implants. Although oral surgery procedures are no fun, I have always had good post operative experiences, for which I believe that the doctor deserves credit. He is quite pleasant, keeps me informed of what to expect during a procedure and always asks if I have any questions. Oral surgery is not cheap, but he accepts a variety of insurances and I think his charges are competitive.

Patient Review By Christopher L

My dentist/friend highly recommended me to Dr. Gold to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out. I quickly booked an appointment and finally got them taken out yesterday morning. I am deathly afraid of dentists hence why I have only been twice in the past year and before that I haven't gone in over 10 years. Dr. Gold and all of his staff were very welcoming and kept me very calm and comforted throughout my procedure. I was literally in and out within a half an hour. I got local anesthesia and once completely numb, each tooth came out one by one. After and during each tooth, Dr. Gold always checked on how I was doing and if I was comfortable before moving on to the next. Next thing I know, I was down and I didn't feel a thing. I was then given directions for the next couple of days on how to treat myself and take care of my mouth/pain. What put this experience over the top was that Dr. Gold called me himself that night to make sure I was okay and to see how I was doing. After I left his office that morning, I felt like I had many questions that I wanted to ask but at the time I was too scared/nervous so I didn't get to ask. So when he called to check on me, I was able to ask and get all the answers I needed. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend Dr. Gold.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The doctor explained the entire procedure prior to the surgery and answered all my questions without rushing. On the day of the surgery he talked me through it. The whole procedure from start to finish lasted half an hour. The best part was receiving a follow up call from the doctor asking how I was doing.
