Our Treatments
If you are hiding your smile or struggling to enjoy your favorite foods due to missing one or more of your teeth, you’ve come to the right place. At Kearny Dental Associates, we offer dental implants, the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Our team is here to help you reclaim your smile’s health, function, and beautifully natural appearance. We invite you to visit our Kearny practice to get started today!
What Are Dental Implants?
A natural tooth consists of the root that’s anchored to the jawbone and the crown that’s the portion visible above the gums. A dental implant mimics the structure of a tooth from the root to its crown. The implant portion of your restoration is made from titanium, a time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints, and the crown portion is custom-crafted to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
In addition to placing crowns on dental implants to restore single missing teeth, we offer a variety of implant restorations, including the following:
- Implant-Supported Bridges: This type of implant restoration replaces two or more missing teeth in a row. Instead of placing an implant for every missing tooth, an implant-supported bridge is anchored to dental implants on either side of the gap.
- Overdentures: Overdentures are removable implant-supported dentures that snap onto several implants placed strategically in your jawbone. They offer a secure and stable alternative to traditional dentures, enhancing the function of your smile.
What Is the Dental Implant Process?
Your dental implant process will begin with a thorough evaluation of your smile’s unique needs. We will use our cutting-edge CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) unit to capture highly detailed 3D images that allow for a close evaluation of your mouth, including the bones, nerves, and surrounding tissues. Your CBCT scans also allow us to design surgical guides that ensure your implants are placed with exceptional precision while significantly reducing the risk of complications.
Before placing your implants, we will numb the area for your comfort and are pleased to administer dental sedation, if needed, to help you relax during treatment. Once you are completely comfortable, our experienced dentist will place one or several implants in your jawbone, depending on your unique needs.
As the area heals, the titanium implant will bond to the bone, creating a strong foundation to support your replacement teeth. Once the area has fully healed, which can take a few months, we will take digital impressions of your mouth to create your new implant restoration. Implant dentistry offers results second only to healthy, natural teeth.

What Are the Benefits of Implant Dentistry?
Dental implants offer aesthetic and oral health benefits, including the following:
- They Look and Feel Natural: Your dental implant restorations are crafted to match your natural teeth, allowing you to smile with confidence.
- They Prevent Bone Loss: Dental implants act like your natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss and maintaining your natural facial structure.
- They Are Comfortable: Your new implants are anchored to your jawbone, just like natural teeth, preventing the slipping, clicking, or sore spots that can occur with traditional dentures.
- They Restore Full Chewing Power: Dental implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to bite and chew normally, unlike traditional dentures or bridges, which often come with some food restrictions.
- They Protect the Adjacent Teeth: Unlike traditional dental bridges, implants do not require the altering or grinding down of your neighboring healthy teeth, helping preserve their strength and integrity.
- They Are Durable: With good oral hygiene practices and regular visits to Kearny Dental Associates for dental exams and cleanings, your implants have the potential to last a lifetime.
