Our Surgical Advancements at NJCOS
Immediate Implant Placement
Do you need a tooth out? You won’t have to wait long for a new one! Thanks to recent advancements in dental implant technology, Drs. Kirsch, Jacobs, and Zambetti can place immediate implants right after tooth extraction.
With older methods, you’d need to:
- Have the tooth removed.
- Let the area heal for several months.
- Come back for implant surgery.
- Then heal more before getting your new tooth.
But now, patients can skip those extra appointments. Since the implant is placed on the same day as the extraction, we can avoid extra procedures and office trips when restoring your smile at NJCOS.
3D Modeling for Precision
Another new technique called virtual surgery planning makes implant surgery even smoother.
- First, you’ll get a special 3D X-ray scan at the office. Drs. Kirsch, Jacobs, and Zambetti upload this scan to a computer program.
- The software creates a model of your jawbone onscreen. Then, the surgeons can “practice” your procedure on the model before your real surgery.
- This virtual preview improves accuracy and predictability. It helps avoid surprises during the actual implant placement.
Virtual planning helps our surgeons throughout complex cases. It’s ideal when you need implants plus bone grafts to rebuild your jaw.
Platelet-Rich Plasma/Fibrin
At the NJ Center for Oral Surgery, our oral surgeons harness the remarkable regenerative capabilities of the body’s own growth factors to enhance healing and improve surgical outcomes. This is achieved by using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments.
PRF and PRP are biomaterials derived from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors that promote tissue regeneration. This powerful, all-natural concentrate is then applied during surgery.
When used with certain procedures like bone grafting, sinus lifts, gum reconstruction, or implant placement, PRF and PRP can:
- Accelerate healing and bone/tissue growth
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Minimize bleeding and need for narcotic pain medication
- Increase implant stability and fusion with bone
A Team Approach to Implants
Getting implants is a team effort between surgeons and dentists. Here’s how it works:
- As oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Drs. Kirsch, Jacobs, and Zambetti perform implant surgery to place the metal implant posts.
- If needed, they’ll extract any remaining teeth or do bone grafting first.
- After healing, your regular dentist takes over.
- They’ll design and attach your permanent replacement teeth to the implants.
- While you wait for the final false teeth, your dentist may give you temporary ones to wear.
Don’t have a dentist? No problem! The NJ Center works with experienced local dentists. They can refer you to a skilled partner to complete your implant treatment.

- Minimize pain, swelling, and recovery time
- Reduce the number of appointments required
- Improve accuracy and successful outcomes
- Make procedures as efficient and convenient as possible
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to recover from dental implant surgery?
Recovery times can vary. You may experience mild swelling and bruising for a few days. Any discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter medication. Strenuous activity should be avoided for at least three to four days after surgery.
Can dental implants be done in one day?
With the latest “teeth-in-a-day” procedures, patients can have implants placed and a temporary dental prosthesis attached, all in a single visit! This is an exciting advancement over older methods requiring several months between implant placement and the attachment of replacement teeth.
How long do dental implants last?
With meticulous care and good oral hygiene habits, you can help your dental implants last 25 years or more. Implants are made from durable titanium that integrates with your natural jawbone, creating an extremely stable and long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth.
Am I too old for dental implants?
There is no age limit for getting dental implants, as long as you are healthy enough to undergo oral surgery. Many people in their 80s and beyond have implant procedures every year. Age alone does not disqualify anyone from being a candidate.
