Dental Implants in Long Valley, NJ

Restore Your Confidence with a New Smile
Dental implants are the healthiest, most attractive way to replace missing teeth. This tooth-replacement option restores the ability to eat, drink, and socialize without issue or embarrassment.
At Rogler Family Dentistry, we understand how difficult it can be to live without teeth. For that reason, Dr. Rogler has completed extensive training to be able to provide stunning results with dental implants — adding yet another reason why he was named the best dentist in Long Valley.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a dental prosthetic that we can use to fill the gaps in your smile. While there are various ways to replace missing teeth, the majority of restorations are cosmetically-focused. Implants look like natural teeth, but what truly sets them apart is how they function like natural teeth as well.
Dental implants are composed of three parts:
- Fixture: The fixture acts like the root of a tooth, securing the implant in place.
- Abutment: The abutment is the connector between the implant fixture and the crown.
- Crown: The crown is the only portion of the implant that anybody will see. Our crowns are made from high-grade porcelain, which is a strong tooth-colored ceramic material.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants separate themselves from other dental restorations because of the array of benefits they provide. Beyond stunning aesthetics, you could experience the following perks:
- Reliability: Dental implants have the longest lifespan of any dental restoration because they’re immune to disease and decay. With proper care, your implant could last a lifetime.
- Durability: Dental implants are the only dental restoration that is placed into your jawbone. This added stability improves your ability to bite, and it can strengthen other treatments such as dental bridges and dentures.
- Zero Restrictions: With other restorations, such as traditional dentures, your diet can be limited. However, dental implants act like your natural teeth, meaning you can eat all of your favorite foods again.
- Improved Speech: Teeth play an integral role in the quality of our speech. Dental implants prevent slurring, whistling, or any other unwanted vocalizations. If you’ve been living with tooth loss, dental implants have the added benefit of restoring your natural speech pattern.
- Natural Feel & Function: We’ll take impressions of your smile so that we can ensure the implant looks and functions in harmony with the rest of your teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
If one or more of your teeth have fallen out, you may qualify for dental implants, but first, you need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rogler. During this visit, he’ll examine your mouth and jawbone to determine if the procedure is right for you. Before you can begin, your gums need to be healthy, and your jawbone needs to be strong.
Once you’re cleared for treatment, we’ll collect impressions of your smile so that the new teeth can be created in a dental lab. Each tooth will be made to match the shape, size, and color of the surrounding teeth.
The next step in the procedure involves Dr. Rogler placing the implant fixture under the gum line. Once he’s done, your jawbone will develop a durable bond the fixture over the next few months through a process called osseointegration. This process creates a level of durability that can’t be replicated in any other type of procedure.
Afterward, Dr. Rogler will secure the natural-looking crown to the fixture. At this point, you’ll be able to eat your favorite foods, maintain an active lifestyle, play sports, and more, without fear of your teeth becoming loose or falling out. Patients throughout New Jersey enjoy the benefits of never having to worry about their teeth again.
Dental Implant FAQs
If you have a complication with your dental implants, you should call your dentist as soon as possible to receive treatment. Your dental professional will look at the implant site and see what the problem is. They’ll then provide you with a dental solution to address your complication and provide your smile with the care it needs to thrive.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. You can help ensure the success of your implant by following a consistent oral hygiene routine that includes brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash. While the dental crown on top of your implant fixture needs to be replaced due to normal wear and tear, the titanium post itself will always stay secured in your jawbone.
Yes! In most cases, you can get dental implants even if you currently have dentures or bridges. However, if you’ve been wearing these fixtures for a long time, you may have experienced some jawbone degeneration or receding gums. Your dentist can boost your oral health with supplemental procedures to improve your candidacy for dental implants.
Insurance will often cover a portion of your dental implant procedure, but not the entire treatment. This will depend on your plan and it’s best to discuss this with your provider before you move forward. In some cases, insurance might pay for the complete costs, but again, this varies for each insurance company. If you don’t have any insurance, some dentists work with third-party financing companies like CareCredit.
