Dr. Raj Upadya and Dr. Andrii Slobodian focus on treating complex dental concerns. He can replace damaged or missing teeth with dental implants in East Hanover, NJ. Implants are an excellent solution for patients with missing teeth who want long-lasting and natural-looking results. Implant dentistry is one of the dental services we provide to new and existing patients in New Jersey.
Dental implants can replace one or all of your teeth. A single dental implant can secure a dental crown. Multiple dental implants can secure your bridge or denture. This will create a new bite that looks and functions naturally.
Dental implants look and function like natural teeth. They can help you speak, chew, and smile confidently. Dr. Andrii Slobodian joins Dr. Upadya to offer dental implants under one roof in East Hanover, Parsippany, Livingston, and Morristown, NJ. We can perform all phases of your procedure in the comfort of our East Hanover dental office.
We can use dental implants to:
- Replace a single tooth that is missing or broken
- Restore teeth with significant decay
- Replace multiple teeth
- Anchor a bridge or denture
Dr. Upadya and Dr. Slobodian use modern dental technology in the treatment planning for dental implants. Our dentists will carefully outline the entire procedure. Dr. Upadya or Dr. Slobodian will take digital X-rays and take 3-D simulations before they do any work. Careful planning ensures the results will be comfortable, natural-looking, and long-lasting.
Dental Implant Technology
Our office uses the latest dental technology to complete implant treatment:
- On-site 3-D scanners evaluate your bone structure more accurately than traditional films
- Specialized software to plan your implant procedure
- Surgical equipment to help surgeries proceed faster and safer and provide you with less swelling, bruising, and pain
- Resonance Frequency Analysis to measure implant stability
Dr. Slobodian will take the time to discuss all aspects of your procedure before your first phase of treatment. During the entire process, he will follow up with you to ensure your comfort and confidence in the dental care you are receiving.
Types of Dental Implants
We use a variety of dental implants to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch of teeth. Our implant dentists will recommend the best option based on your needs.
Standard Dental Implant
Traditionally made from titanium, the implant looks like a threaded post or screw. A dentist will place them in the jawbone to act as anchors for the final restoration. This could be a single crown, a bridge, a denture, or hybrid teeth such as an All-On-Four.
Mini Implants
Also a threaded post, a dentist will also place the mini-implant into your jawbone like a standard implant. The difference is that it is much thinner, and the surgery can be much less involved. The mini-implant was traditionally used to help secure dentures, but it has evolved into other applications. We will perform a consultation and examination to determine if mini implants are right for you.
All-On-Four or Hybrid Implants
This technique uses 4 to 6 standard implants to secure a full arch (jaw) of teeth in a person’s mouth. We may recommend this option if you have all your teeth in the top jaw or bottom jaw missing. You can also benefit if we need to remove most or all of these teeth,
The Dental Implant Process
The process for dental implants takes place over several months:
Consultation
A consultation will allow you to meet Dr. Slobodian. Here, you will discuss your dental health concerns and aesthetic goals. This 45-minute appointment is an opportunity to understand your current oral health status, treatment options, and how you can get started with treatment.
Evaluation
When you come in for treatment, Dr. Upadya or Dr. Slobodian will first do a full checkup of your teeth and gums. They’ll look closely to see if dental implants are a good option for you. To get implants, you need enough healthy bone in your jaw to hold them securely. After your exam, the dentist will make a custom plan just for your needs.
This ensures your treatment works best for your specific situation. The doctors will explain everything clearly so you know what to expect. Their goal is to give you the best possible care with a plan tailored just for you.
Implantation
A dental implant is a small titanium post that resembles a screw. Our dentist will place it into the bone so it serves as the root of the prosthetic tooth. Strategic planning is crucial to the long-term success and comfort of the final restoration.
Sometimes we can restore the implant right away. Other times, you need to heal for 4 or more months. Our dentist will provide you with a temporary tooth (or teeth) during the implant healing phase.
Implant Restoration
We will create your final restoration once the dental implant has completely healed. Your restoration can include one of these options:
- A single crown
- Dentures
- Fixed hybrid bridge
Aftercare
Many patients forget they have a dental implant. The restoration will look and function the same as natural teeth. You will all be able to floss and brush the dental implant normally. We also recommend that you continue to make routine visits to the dentist for the best results.
