Dental Implants

Dental implants are rapidly becoming a popular alternative to dentures and dental bridges. Dental implants are titanium posts that are inserted below the gums to act as a replacement tooth root. Porcelain replacement teeth anchored on dental implants offer a superior, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Dental implants also give unmatched stability for dentures.

In comparison to the other restorative procedures offered at Beautiful Smiles by Dr. Harold A. Pollack, dental implants require more invasive techniques and a solid commitment from you, Dr. Pollack, and the entire dental team. However, the dental implants offered through our Millburn, New Jersey practice also tend to last much longer than other dental restorations.

Dental implants replace the entire tooth, including the root and crown, providing the only complete tooth replacement available. Unlike bridges, dental implants need no supporting adjacent teeth and independently offer a secure fit.

To create the stability needed for a dental implant, surgery is required to anchor the dental implant to the jawbone. This step involves not only the actual surgery, but also several months of healing before Dr. Pollack can place a porcelain crown over the dental implant.

Tooth-colored Fillings

Unlike old metal fillings, tooth-colored fillings are virtually indistinguishable from your natural tooth material. And because of the composite material of tooth-colored fillings, they can be placed on your existing teeth while removing a minimum amount of existing tooth material. If you are interested in tooth-colored fillings, please contact us today.

Crowns, Onlays, and Inlays

To restore badly damaged teeth, crowns, onlays, and inlays provide support, strength and durability. Crowns fit snugly over an entire existing tooth and can also be used to cover a dental implant.

Onlays cover and structurally support a damaged tooth. Inlays are inserted within teeth as standing supports. To determine which restorative dentistry procedure is right for your damaged tooth, contact us today.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. Most bridges consist of a false tooth placed between two crowns. The entire structure is cemented to teeth on each side of the gap, making it a permanent fixture. There are three types of bridges: traditional, resin-bonded, and cantilever. Depending on the situation, many times bridges can be used as a less expensive alternative to dental implants. Our Millburn, New Jersey dentist can help you determine whether a dental implant or one of the types of bridges is better for your situation.
