Having a missing tooth or wearing dentures can not only feel embarrassing, but it can make normal tasks like chewing or speaking difficult to do. If you have missing teeth or wear dentures and wish you could replace your missing teeth and have it feel like just natural teeth, dental implants might be the perfect option for you. At A Healthy Smile Dentistry, our dentist understands the daily struggle of patients with missing teeth or those who don’t feel secure wearing dentures. Discover how dental implants in Florham Park can restore your smile and self-confidence with a beautiful new smile.
At A Healthy Smile Dentistry, we offer a variety of dental implants solutions at our Florham Park dental office. These include:
Unfortunately, not every patient in Florham Park is a good candidate for dental implants. Dental implants have specific requirements for who can be a candidate.
Requirements Include:
The process for installing dental implants is not difficult, however, it requires patience. First, our dentist will need to complete a dental exam by taking a CT scan. This x-ray will give us all the information we need to place your implants in the correct spot. If any teeth need to be pulled, this will need to happen before your surgery and your gums will need to be completely healed.
Once you have been given the green light for surgery, our dentist will first numb up your mouth using a local anesthetic. From there, she will make an incision in your gums, drill a hole and then fit the implant snuggly in place. Your gums are then stitched over to allow your mouth to heal. Healing will take several months to complete.
Once your gums are healed, we will make a small incision in your gums to expose the implant. From there, we will attach the abutment to the implant, which rests above the gum line. Our dentist will then take impressions of your gums and tooth and send them off to the lab. Once they have returned, our dentist will permanently attach them to the abutment and your smile will be restored.
There are a lot of benefits of dental implants you should know about when choosing them as your treatment. First, patients experience a boost in self-esteem thanks to having a natural feeling and looking restoration in their mouth. You can expect to eat, talk and smile with ease, easily forgetting that you have dental implants in the first place.
Another benefit of dental implants is that your bone density in your jaw continues to grow. This helps you maintain your youthful face and keep your other teeth held in place. If you want the closest thing to a natural tooth, dental implants in Florham Park are the right solution for you.
If you are ready to replace your missing teeth with dental implants, it’s time to give our dentist in Florham Park a call at 973-377-2222 or visit our online form to request an appointment. Feel free to ask us any questions you might have. We are happy to answer them!
The last thing you should know about dental implants is how to care for them. Aftercare is imperative for preventing dental implants from failing. To care for your dental implants, we recommend continuing a proper at-home dental hygiene routine including brushing and flossing twice a day. We also recommend that you visit us for your regular dental exam and cleaning every 6 months so that we can ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. If you happen to develop a gum infection, it’s likely that your implants fail. Keep your smile healthy and you can expect your implants to last the rest of your life.

Whether you already have missing teeth or you are visiting our dental office and find out that dentures might be a good option for you, every patient may experience a different type of preparation for dentures. First, Dr. Gohard will examine your mouth to see if you need to have any additional teeth pulled before beginning the dentures procedure. If you have only a few remaining teeth and their future doesn’t look promising, we might recommend having them pulled.
Once Dr. Gohard has declared you a good candidate for dentures, she will provide you with a pair of temporary dentures to wear until your permanent ones arrive from the lab. If you recently had teeth pulled, we will need to wait until your gums completely heal to take impressions for your permanent dentures. While you wait for your permanent pair to return from the lab, you will wear temporary dentures which will help you get used to the feeling of wearing them daily. Once your gums are healed from any extractions you had, our dentist in Florham Park will take impressions of your gums.
When your permanent pair of dentures return from the lab, Dr. Gohard will have you try them on to confirm that they fit correctly. If necessary, she will make adjustments so they fit more comfortably. Once the fit is right, you can be on your way.
