Dental Implants in New Brunswick, NJ

Replace Missing Teeth. Restore Confidence.

The surgeons at Oral Surgery Group in New Brunswick, NJ, offer long-lasting tooth loss solutions with dental implants. This revolutionary tooth replacement option functions and looks just like a natural tooth. Many dental professionals push the health benefits of dental implants because they prevent bone loss and function like a healthy, natural adult tooth. If you have one or more teeth that are missing, failing, or badly damaged, we encourage you to contact Oral Surgery Group in New Brunswick, New Jersey, for a consultation with one of our oral surgeons, Philip Engel, DMD, Richard Stern, DDS, Constantine Simos, DMD, Michael Stern, DMD, Amy Tanchyk, DMD, MD, and Rohan J. Prabhu, DDS.

The Parts of a Dental Implant

Dental implants are designed to feel and function like natural teeth. Each implant has three parts: the implant post, the abutment, and the crown or multi-tooth prosthesis. The implant post is a tiny screw that your surgeon will place into the empty socket. This screw will function like a natural tooth’s root, which holds your tooth securely in place while you chew and bite tough foods. The abutment is a connector piece that will firmly attach your new tooth to the post. Your new crown will be fixed to the top of the abutment once the implant site has healed.

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

One major advantage of dental implants is that they are versatile. Your oral surgeon can customize the number and types of implants to suit your specific needs. The types of dental implants we offer at Oral Surgery Group include:

  • Single Implants. We use one dental implant post to replace one missing tooth, and can repeat this process as needed throughout the mouth.
  • Immediate Implants. If you’re having a tooth extracted and there is enough jaw bone, we can place an implant post into the empty socket during the same appointment.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges. Bridges restore multiple teeth missing beside each other. Traditional bridges sit on top of adjacent teeth, causing them damage, while a dental implant can support the bridge, protecting your other teeth.
  • Full-Arch Restoration. Ideal for patients with many missing or unhealthy teeth, this procedure uses several implant posts to secure a fixed prosthesis, resulting in a brand new, fully functioning, secure smile.

Our practice uses superior dental implant technology and techniques to produce optimal patient outcomes.

Dental Implant Surgery

The dental implant procedure usually requires a total of at least two or three office visits, depending on the type of implants you plan on getting and the number of implants necessary. During the first visit, your surgeon will review your health condition, take 3D scans, and discuss your treatment and anesthesia options.

The dental implant surgery typically lasts between 1 and 3 hours. After administering the anesthesia, your oral surgeon will lift the gum tissue and place the implant(s) into the bone beneath. The titanium posts integrate with the jaw bone while you heal, creating a firm and secure foundation for your replacement teeth.

If your implants are immediate loading, your crowns will be attached using the abutments the same day or a day after your initial surgery. With traditional implants, we may provide temporary teeth while the implant sites heal. In either case, you will leave with a beautiful new smile.

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

We use several factors to determine the cost of your dental implant treatment. These include the number and type of implants you need, if you require bone grafting or tooth extractions, your dental insurance, and your choice of anesthesia. Keep in mind that for most dental implant surgeries, patients undergo IV sedation.

Removable dentures and bridges may be cheaper upfront, but they can become costly down the road. You must replace these removable appliances every few years and clean them using special rinses. Because there are no pieces stimulating the jaw below the surface, you may require costly and extensive bone repair surgery to treat severe jaw bone loss. With dental implants, you avoid all of these issues and more. Your investment in your smile remains beneficial for years to come, and most importantly, you are able to smile with confidence again.

Types of Anesthesia

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

"I needed to have dental implants in the front of my mouth when I was a teenager, and I was really nervous, but I was really comfortable coming to Dr. Engel because I’ve known him for so long. He always makes any experience so comfortable, and he’s always in good spirits, and he always has a positive outlook about everything. When I first had my dental implants done, I was a teenager, so you know, you’re always worried about how you look, and because I had an implant in the front of my mouth, it was really helpful with my smile and my confidence, and it really meant a lot that I was able to have that done. All the staff here at Oral Surgery Group are really friendly. They always greet you with a smile, and they help you any way that they can. They make sure you’re comfortable. If any of my friends in Monroe, East Brunswick, Spotswood, Milltown, ever needed a dental implant, I would highly recommend Oral Surgery Group."

"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."

"My regular dentist referred me to Dr. Engel at the Oral Surgery Group. Right away, I felt very comfortable and felt as though they cared about their patients. Dr. Engel is very, very passionate about what he does, and that resonated with me. From the start, with meeting the staff on to meeting Dr. Engel, I felt totally comfortable. The recovery process was seamless. For all my friends, family, neighbors, if you are looking for an oral surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Engel."

"I made an appointment with Dr. Stern because I researched on the internet different surgeons that would be, I guess, rated very high. So, I made an appointment, and Dr. Stern was kind enough to really walk me through everything that he thought I needed to do, and then I had the implants put in. My implants feel just like my natural teeth did when I had teeth. Dr. Stern and all of his staff are so aware of safety and cleanliness; everything in the office is beautiful. If I had any friends or family members that needed to have an implant and lived in New Brunswick, in Somerset, even Somerville, I would highly recommend Dr. Stern."

"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?

Recovery is different for everyone, but most people feel ready to return to their normal routines within a few days. The implant site will need time to heal, so it’s important not to chew anything tough around where your implant was placed for a while. Your surgeon will give you a full explanation of your pre- and post-operative instructions to help you prepare for a speedy recovery.

Who is not suitable for dental implants?

Patients with extensive jaw bone atrophy, suppressed immune systems, or those who take certain medications may not be suitable for dental implants. During your first visit, we will discuss your health history and determine which type of restorative treatment is right for you.

Do teeth implants hurt?

Oral surgeons are the only dental professionals qualified to administer all types of anesthesia. We will help you select the right type for your surgery complexity and level of anxiety. Many patients undergo IV sedation for this procedure, which renders a sleep-like state where you are unable to feel pain. Post-operative pain can often be managed with ice packs and over-the-counter pain medications.

Can dental implants be done in a day?

If there is enough jaw bone to support the implant, our oral surgeons can insert an implant post immediately following a tooth extraction. This saves you time and money, and allows you to leave with a complete smile after just one surgical visit.
