A Lifelong Solution to Missing Teeth
Transform Your Smile with Dental Implants
If you have one or more missing or failing teeth, you may have trouble eating your favorite foods, or you might feel too embarrassed to smile or laugh. Missing one or more teeth can change the appearance of your face, result in a decline in your health, or even cause jawbone
loss. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or all of them, dental implants are the ideal solution to missing teeth. These permanent tooth replacements not only restore your health, the esthetics of your smile and the function of your teeth, they also last for decades! Our team at
Advanced Smile Dentistry has extensive experience in placing and restoring dental implants in Toms River, NJ … and we can help you achieve an improved quality of life with these lifelong restorations, too!
The Characteristics of a Dental Implant
Dental implants are made up of three parts: a titanium or zirconium post that is implanted into your jawbone, an abutment that holds the prosthetic tooth in place, and a restoration that restores the function of your missing teeth. Because they secure into your jawbone, dental implants are versatile and long-lasting, able to replace any number of missing teeth. This solution does require an expert implant dentist, and Dr. David Basar uses state-of-the-art
technology and advanced training to ensure the best dental implant results.

Your Dental Implant Options
Dental implants can support a single tooth, a crown with multiple teeth, or a full arch dental replacement. You can even get
implant supported removable dentures.
Single Dental Implants
Single dental implants have a single post and abutment, and are meant to replace a single missing tooth. They are carefully crafted to match your existing teeth, so it will look completely natural.
Multiple Dental Implants
Implants can also be used to support a bridge of multiple
teeth. This can be a great way to get rid of troublesome bridges or painful gaps in your teeth.
Implant Supported Dentures
Implant supported dentures are a good compromise between cost and efficiency. They are removable dentures that attach to posts that are surgically inserted into your jawbone. Because they attach to your jaw, you have less jawbone recession than with traditional dentures, as well as less friction and increased biting
power.
Full Mouth Dental Replacement
In full mouth dental replacement , a full arch of teeth is replaced. Your dentist inserts four or more posts into each arch, which is why these implants are often called All- on-4® dental implants. With full arch dental replacement, you can smile wide once again and eat an unlimited diet, all with no fear of jawbone recession!

Dental Implant Process
It’s perfectly normal to have questions about the process of getting dental implants in Toms River, NJ. At your first exam, we’ll examine your teeth and find out your specific needs. We’ll also take a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, as well as X-rays of your mouth and jaw, to determine how to place the dental implants. Depending on your mouth, this may involve bone grafts and/or tooth extractions, in addition to the implant placement.
On the day of your surgery, we’ll offer you oral sedation if you need it, to help your time in the chair pass easier. We use a DEKA SMART US20 CO2 surgical laser for our dental implant surgeries. This laser system provides fast, precise incisions with less recovery time and a lower risk of infection than traditional scalpels. You’ll leave with immediate temporary teeth on the day of your surgery, and you’ll get your final restorations within four to six months.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide several advantages over dentures and bridges. First of all, dental implants don’t require healthy
teeth to attach to in order to support the restoration. All they need is proper jawbone density to remain healthy. In fact, if
you have missing teeth, having implants placed can actually reduce the rate of jawbone loss! Unlike dentures, dental
implants are permanently secured in your jawbone and act like artificial tooth roots. This restores 99% of your natural
biting and chewing power. For this reason, implants are recommended solutions to tooth loss, and nearly all patients who visit Advanced Smile Dentistry are good candidates for dental implant surgery.
