Our Dental Implant Services
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and are designed to blend in with your other teeth. They are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile. In fact, the development and use of implants is one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years. Dental implants are made up of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body. They are posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.

Step 2
Customized Treatment Plan
We create a tailored treatment plan, outlining the steps and timeline for your dental implant procedure.
Step 3
Implant Placement
Our skilled team precisely places the implant, ensuring a secure foundation for your new tooth.
First, the dentist surgically places the implant into the jawbone. Your dentist may recommend a diet of soft foods, cold foods and warm soup during the healing process.
Next, the bone around the implant heals in a process called osseointegration. What makes an implant so strong is that the bone actually grows around it and holds it in place. Osseointegration means “combines with the bone” and takes time. Some patients might need to wait until the implant is completely integrated, up to several months, before replacement teeth can be attached to the implant. Other patients can have the implants and replacement teeth placed all in one visit.

Other patients can have the implants and replacement teeth placed all in one visit.
Finally, it’s time for the placement of the artificial tooth/teeth. For a single tooth implant, your dentist will customize a new tooth for you, called a dental crown. The crown will be based on size, shape, color and fit, and will be designed to blend in with your other teeth. If you are replacing more than a single tooth, custom-made bridges or dentures will be made to fit your mouth and your implants. (Note: The replacement teeth usually take some time to make. In the meantime, your dentist may give you a temporary crown, bridge or denture to help you eat and speak normally until the permanent replacement is ready.)
Most patients find that a dental implant is secure, stable and a good replacement for their own tooth. There are generally three phases to getting an implant:
Before: This patient had many missing teeth and old crowns - hopeless teeth After: The same patient, 24 hours later, with full arch implant supported - "teeth in a day."
Before: Patient with metal bar attached to implants After: Upper denture firmly supported by bar and implants

5 Star Review on Google
Even though I am out of network for Dr. Small, I love coming to this practice because the staff treats me like family. My kids grew up at this practice! Meticulous cleaning and detailed explanation of the underlying teeth issues are exceptional.
I highly recommend Dr Kaitlin Small and her friendly, professional staff at Small Dental. My husband and I have gone there for dental visits for many years.
Have been going to this practice every six months since moving to the Princeton area of New Jersey in 1996 and recommend it for perfect dental attention every time.
FAQ’s About Dental Implant Services
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium. They are surgically placed into the jawbone to provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. During a consultation, our team at Small Dental will evaluate your oral health to determine if implants are the right solution for you.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants provide a secure and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They improve chewing ability, prevent bone loss, maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth, and enhance the appearance of your smile.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic teeth attached to the implants, such as crowns or bridges, may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear and tear.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring your comfort. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur after surgery, but this is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The process typically takes several months, depending on your specific needs. It includes the surgical placement of the implant, a healing period to allow the implant to integrate with the jawbone, and the attachment of the prosthetic tooth.
What happens if I don’t have enough jawbone for implants?
If you lack sufficient jawbone, bone grafting or sinus augmentation procedures can be performed to rebuild the bone structure, making implants a viable option.
Are dental implants better than dentures?
Dental implants are often preferred over traditional dentures because they are more secure, comfortable, and natural-looking. They also help preserve jawbone health, which dentures cannot do.
How do I care for dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, maintain regular dental checkups, and avoid habits like smoking or chewing hard objects that can damage the implants.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage for dental implants varies by insurance plan. Some plans may partially cover the procedure, while others may not. Our team at Small Dental can help you navigate your insurance benefits and explore financing options if needed.
