Implant Dentist FAQs
in Cherry Hill, Princeton & Trenton, New Jersey
How do missing teeth lead to dental problems?
Unfortunately, tooth loss has an almost domino effect on certain aspects of your dental health. When a tooth dies and is not replaced, the underlying, supportive bone actually weakens and deteriorates. With a weakened jaw bone, remaining teeth are prone to looseness, shifting, and a myriad of problems. Tooth and jaw pain, gum soreness, and deterioration of gum tissue are just a few of the negative side effects that can result. Patients who don’t replace missing teeth may also find themselves adjusting their diets to avoid tougher foods.
When is the best time to replace a missing tooth?
Ideally, you should consider beginning dental implant therapy soon after losing a tooth to prevent the negative health effects and bone loss that can occur. Schedule a complimentary dental implant consultation today and implant dentist Dr. Douglas about starting your dental implant treatment as soon as possible.
Am I a good dental implant candidate?
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants will most likely be able to help you regain tooth function and enhance your smile appearance. Even patients who are missing all teeth and prefer implants to dentures may find a solution with implants. One important factor is the existing quality and strength of your jaw bone. For patients whose bone quality has been compromised, Dr. Douglas may be able to perform a technique called bone expansion to prepare the mouth for dental implants.

Will dental implants need to be replaced down the road?
If placed well, and in healthy bone, dental implants can last throughout your lifetime. It is important to choose a very experienced implant dentist whom you trust.

Why should I choose dental implants over dentures?Dentures rely on the health of remaining teeth and gums for stability. With dentures, you do not always get a consistently secure fit. With dental implants, there’s no worry about artificial teeth shifting or coming loose because they are anchored into the jaw bone. Dentures are removable and require regular maintenance, whereas implants are treated just like natural teeth.
