Dental Implants in East Brunswick, NJ

Long-Term Tooth Replacement

At Oral Surgery Group our experienced and skilled oral surgeons proudly provide dental implants to patients in East Brunswick, NJ. Dental implants are one of the most popular and effective ways to replace missing teeth. Like a natural tooth’s root, a dental implant holds replacement teeth firmly in place without the need for support from adjacent teeth or removable devices. The long-term, self-supporting implants can hold a single crown (prosthetic tooth) or a multi-tooth bridge. No other tooth loss solution prevents jaw bone loss, which is why most dental professionals recommend implants for any patient who is healthy enough to undergo an outpatient dental procedure.

We offer implant-based tooth restoration at our East Brunswick location and encourage you to schedule an appointment if you have any missing or failing teeth. Dr. Engel, Dr. Stern, Dr. Simos, Dr. Stern, Dr. Tanchyk, and Dr. Prabhu look forward to improving your health and confidence with dental implants.

Dental Implant Parts

Each dental implant consists of three parts, which come together to form one secure, natural-looking replacement tooth. The implant post, the abutment, and the crown all connect to form your final implant. The post is a properly sized titanium screw that replaces your tooth’s root. This post stimulates the bone beneath the gums and prevents bone loss while it supports your new replacement teeth. The abutment piece is attached to this post. It acts as a connector piece between the post and your new crown or bridge attachment. The final piece is your crown which is custom-made to blend in with your other teeth.

Dental implants are the only tooth restoration option that fuses to the jaw bone and prevents bone loss.

If you have missing teeth, enough jaw bone, and are healthy enough to undergo general surgery, you likely qualify for dental implants.

Types of Dental Implants

At Oral Surgery Group, we customize your treatment to fit your exact needs. Dental implants are incredibly versatile, and the type of implant we use will depend on your restoration and health needs.

  • Single Dental Implants. One implant, consisting of a post, abutment, and crown, replaces one missing tooth. This can be done as many times as needed throughout your mouth.
  • Immediate Implants. If you’re having a tooth extracted and have enough jaw bone to support it, we can place an implant during the same appointment.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges. An implant post can support a bridge to restore multiple teeth missing next to each other. This prevents having to rely on your existing teeth for support, like traditional bridges, and prevents jaw bone loss.
  • Full-Arch Restoration. Ideal for those in need of a completely new arch of teeth, this treatment uses dental implants to support a fixed denture, providing natural-looking and functioning results.

Dental Implant Placement Surgery

Prior to undergoing surgery, you will visit our office for a consultation. Your oral surgeon will perform an oral examination, take 3D CBCT scans, and select the right type of anesthesia. Once it is determined that dental implants are the right option to restore your smile, we will schedule a surgery date.

Dental implant surgery takes from 1 to 3 hours on average, depending on how many implants you need and if you require extractions or bone grafts. After administering the chosen form of anesthesia, your surgeon will insert the dental implant into the bone. Once your implant is placed, the gums will be sutured to allow the implant to heal properly.

If you receive immediate-loading implants, your abutments will be preloaded into your implant posts. Regular implants have the abutments and crowns attached at a later date, but we may provide a temporary prosthesis to wear while you heal. After the implant has fully healed and integrated into your bone, your restorative dentist will place the final crown.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in East Brunswick, NJ?

The cost of your dental implants depends on how many you need, if you require additional surgical procedures, your dental insurance, and your choice of anesthesia. We discuss all of these items with you in advance and provide a cost estimate upfront. If you ever have questions, a member of our administrative team will be happy to help.

Your investment in dental implants now positively affects your health and confidence in the future. Traditional dentures and bridges are cheaper in the beginning. However, these options only restore your smile’s appearance, not function, and do not stimulate the jaw bone. Without stimulation from a natural tooth’s root or dental implant post, the jaw bone will deteriorate over time, leading to costly and complex surgery. Dental implants feel and function like healthy adult teeth. By restoring your smile with them now, you protect your oral health for years to come.

Types of Anesthesia

We offer several types of anesthesia to ensure patients remain comfortable in our care.

"I cracked my tooth on July 4th, so the whole weekend I was in a lot of pain. Besides being in pain, I was pretty nervous. The team here is very understanding and very professional. Dr. Simos has a very calm manner—very soft-spoken but very professional. The procedure went great. The overall experience has been terrific. In fact, I’ve been back here three or four times, and it’ll be the place that I go to every time I need to have some kind of oral surgery done. I’d give Oral Surgery Group five stars out of five. They were excellent."

"The doctor is fantastic. He does everything I need done and makes me feel comfortable the entire time. The nursing staff and the regular staff are just so unbelievably capable of making you feel better. My procedure was fantastic. I had barely none when it came to recovery time. It was worth it to be able to smile again and have all of my teeth show. I would come back, and will come back, for any of the work that I have to have done. Out of five stars, I would give Oral Surgery Group a five."

"So, I needed some bone grafting done, and I needed implants, so I came to the Oral Surgery Group and met with Dr. Engel. He basically did all of my work. I was very nervous when I got here, and Dr. Engel made me feel so comfortable, and his staff was just amazing. He did the work. I left here feeling wonderful. The recovery was fine; I felt nothing. Every single person on this staff is wonderful, sweet, kind, very accommodating. They are on top of everything. It is a very well-run staff. So, to all my friends in South Plainfield, Kendall Park, or Franklin, I highly recommend the Oral Surgery Group."

"I needed to find an oral surgeon. I had a cap for many years that fell out, and I was really very pleased upon the first time meeting the front desk, and they walked me in, and I met Dr. Simos, and it was a perfect consultation appointment. My procedure with my one implant went great. I had the bone grafting. It all worked out, and I had full trust in Dr. Simos, and it worked out very well, and I just was so pleased with the whole process, the whole office. I would recommend the Oral Surgery Group just for their organization. They’re just so nice — all the girls and the staff and the doctors."

"Essentially, I was losing my teeth. I'm a diabetic — I think that had something to do with it. I had come to Oral Surgery for most of the extractions. Dr. Engel was the most recent doctor/surgeon here that put in the implants. I have a fixed bridge over implants on the upper plate. The bottom plate, I have a device — an appliance — which snaps into four implants that comes out nightly, goes in in the morning. All the doctors here are very personable. It's not just executing a science of implants or the other services that are offered here at Oral Surgery; they care about the people, and that is a real plus. I would recommend Oral Surgery Group to anyone, young or old."

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is recovery after getting dental implants?

Before you receive the final crown, your surgical site will need to heal. The surgical site will heal in a few weeks, but the process of the post fusing to the jaw bone takes several months.

What can I eat after getting dental implants?

You will not be able to chew hard foods in the area of your implant until it has healed. You must eat soft foods for a couple of days after the procedure, but can resume a normal diet as tolerated. Use caution around the surgical sites and follow the instructions provided to keep the area clean.

Can dental implants be done in a day?

Just like your other teeth, food can get stuck around your implant. Brush and floss regularly to remove debris and to keep your implant healthy.

Does it hurt to get a dental implant?

As oral surgeons, we are qualified to administer all forms of anesthesia. We will help you select the right choice for your surgery and level of anxiety, as it is our goal to keep you as comfortable as possible. We provide detailed instructions to expedite recovery, and most post-surgical pain can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and ice packs.
