Seidner Dentistry & Associates in Randolph, NJ, is pleased to offer the latest breakthroughs in dental implants to residents throughout Morris County, including innovative All-On-4® implant bridges. There are a multitude of long-term benefits to having dental implants—for example, they are a reliable substitute for single or multiple missing teeth and are engineered to give you the strength, stability, resilience, and support that your natural teeth do, as they replace both the root and the tooth. 

Long-term missing teeth can significantly impact your oral health. Besides having a noticeable gap between your teeth that can hurt your self-esteem, you’ll most likely lose chewing capacity and experience bone loss. And considering that most teeth have a partner on both sides, this bone loss is a big deal. Losing a tooth can often lead to a weakening of neighboring teeth and several related complications if the tooth isn’t replaced in a timely manner. And when faced with multiple missing teeth, many people notice facial sagging, changes to facial contours, and wrinkles around where the bone is lost. 

The Many Benefits

With these facts in mind, promptly exploring dental implants or another solution to tooth loss is critical if you’re missing one or more teeth. If only one tooth is lost, a dental implant can act as your natural tooth root and an abutment and crown can be placed to restore your smile. If you are missing several teeth, a dental implant-supported bridge is a great long-term solution as healthy teeth are left untouched and the bone is preserved. New technology allows our dentists to strategically place several implants as well as a permanent bridge in just one day, so our patients can take steps toward a brilliant and healthy smile faster than ever before.

In the past, bridge restorations, partials, or those problematic removable dentures were the only solutions for missing teeth. Today, dental implants are available in several different designs to accommodate your specific oral health and cosmetic needs. Features titanium posts which are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing, thereby functioning as a natural tooth root and helping to preserve the bone around the lost tooth.
