Immediate Dental Implant Placement With Tooth Extraction in Caldwell and Florham Park, NJ

Long term clinical studies show the best results are often seen when the dental implant is placed at the same visit as tooth removal. Some of the benefits to placing the implant into the extracted tooth socket includes:

• Faster time to final crown being placed by your dentist.

• Better aesthetic result as the natural gum contours are preserved.

After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins. Your surgeon will check to make sure the implant has healed and will then refer you back to your dentist to have the crown placed. In some cases your dentist may ask us to place the abutment. The abutment is the small post which connects the implant to the crown. When the replacement teeth are placed, these posts will not be seen. The entire procedure usually takes two to four months. Most patients experience little to no disruption in their daily life and immediately resume all normal activities.
