In our previous article installment on New Jersey dental implants, we began exploring some of the answers provided by leading experts in the field of oral rehabilitation and dental implantology to questions frequently asked by patients. Some of the topics addressed included a definition for New Jersey dental implants, as well as the phenomenon that enables them to remain ‘permanently’ rooted in the jaw, namely, ‘osseointegration’. In this, the second installment of a four part FAQ guide, we shall be answering some more of your pressing questions, this time concentrating on the benefits of New Jersey dental implants as a tooth replacement solution.

Question: Will people be able to see that I’ve had a tooth replaced?

Answer: New Jersey dental implants are carefully and precisely fabricated to be virtually indistinguishable from the natural healthy tooth or teeth they are replacing. Even the color of the ceramic crown is custom made to match that of the rest of your teeth so that the overall cosmetic results achieved will be as if you never lost a tooth in the first place. Not even your close friends or family members will be able to notice the difference! With such a flawless aesthetic tooth replacement, patients can completely recover the quality of their smile, which has a big impact upon their confidence in both a social and professional environment.

Question: Are there any foods I won’t be allowed to eat with New Jersey dental implants?

Answer: Initially, you will need to steer clear of any hard, crunchy or chewy foods that may break or stress the delicate bonds being formed between the titanium fixture of the implant and the underlying jaw bone tissue. Once this has healed, however, you will be able to eat all the foods you love, regardless of their texture. Once fully healed, New Jersey dental implant enable patients to bite down with a natural force, thus enabling them to enjoy a normal diet without exception! You will, however, be cautioned against certain habits – as you should avoid with your natural teeth – such as chewing on ice, opening bottles with your teeth and tobacco smoking.

Question: How long do New Jersey dental implants last before requiring replacement?

Answer: New Jersey dental implants boast an incredible life span of decades (20, 30 and even more years if cared for properly). This is at least twice that of traditional tooth replacement technologies, such as dental bridges.

Question: Do New Jersey dental implants require any special care or follow-up restoration?

Answer: New Jersey dental implants are cared for just like your natural adult teeth: with regular and thorough brushing and flossing, or water-picking, as well as a visit to the dentist and hygienist once every six months. In other words, no special attention or expensive healthcare products are necessary! Dental implants very seldom require restoration once successfully placed, so essentially, they require a one-time investment and, owing to their incredible life span, provide a one-time solution to single and multiple missing teeth.
