What Are Dental Implants?

The easiest way to describe a dental implant is to compare it to a natural tooth. Natural teeth have two parts, a crown and a root. The crown is the visible part of the tooth that you use when chewing. Under the gums and attached to the jawbone is the root, which supports the crown. In basic terms, a dental implant replaces the root of a tooth.

The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where the teeth are missing.  These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.  Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.  Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

Dental Implants Versus Bridges or Dentures

Many of our patients opt for dental implants over dentures or bridges because they offer unmatched durability and functionality. 

Unlike dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, implants are securely anchored into your jawbone, providing a stable and permanent solution. Additionally, implants prevent bone loss, maintaining the structure of your face and jaw over time. They function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

Dental implants offer several advantages over dentures or bridges including:

  • Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
  • Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
  • Natural Appearance: They look and feel like your natural teeth.
  • No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering neighboring teeth.
  • Improved Comfort: Implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures.

Are You A Candidate for Dental Implants?

Patient Review By Suzanne N

Dr. Diamond is great and very generous. I Loved him. He's kind and did a great job w my implant. I was so scared to hv my molar pulled to prepare for implant but it was fairly quick and absolutely painless, even after i left office there was only some dull throbbing at night. I didn't even use the ibuprofen they prescribed. He called later that night to check on me. His staff is great and followed up as well. Everyone is very nice. Not like some dr. offices. I had to hv 3 or 4 very quick visits (not even enough time to read one article in waiting room) including the post which also went well. I was scared but it didn't hurt a bit. I went to Ridgewood and Westwood offices. Both no wait times. I went to him upon referral from my husband who works at hospital where Diamond works. He said i'd be crazy to go anywhere else bc he's heard nothing but good things about him and likes him too. I have a friend who goes to same practice and tells me details about her procedure each time and tells me how she loves them too (she's having major reconstruction). I highly recommend.

Patient Review By Dawn S

Very good oral surgeon. Dr. Novelli has pulled 4 teeth in the past for me and done many implants. I have periodontal disease and he always takes care of me when I'm in pain. He pulled the tooth for me 2 days ago and I feel fine and he's also a nice person and his staff is extremely sweet.

Patient Review By Elise C

To paraphrase a television show's theme song, Dr. Han can turn the world on with his smile.....and he is doing the same for mine. He is the consummate professional who takes his time explaining everything and dissolving the worst ever case of anxiety. Hand to heart, the assistants follow suit. Shout out to Lana at Franklin Lakes who went above and beyond today. I can't recommend this place enough.
