What Are Dental Implants?
Your tooth is composed of
two vital components: the white crown that shows in your smile, and the root that exists safely beneath the
gumline. Traditional tooth replacement options like dental bridges and dentures are only designed to replace the
crowns of missing teeth. However, while this improves aesthetics, the lack of a functioning tooth root has
adverse consequences for the health of the patient’s jawbone. Without ongoing stimulation, the structure
tends to deteriorate over time – this is why so many patients with long-term tooth loss have a
“hunched” facial appearance.
Thankfully, dental implants are designed to recreate the entire natural structure of your teeth, providing a
new, functioning “root” (the implant itself) and a custom-made, highly lifelike restoration that
attaches on top as the new “crown.” This results in greater bone retention, improved oral health,
and exceptional stability, among other valuable, lifelong benefits.

The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
While every patient’s dental
implant process in Roselle Park can vary depending on their unique needs, anybody getting dental implants will
undergo four basic steps: the initial consultation, dental implant surgery, osseointegration and abutment
placement, and attaching the restorations. Our experienced implant dentists and team are able to complete the
entire procedure under our roof as well, making your overall experience hassle-free and convenient.
Learn More
The Initial Consultation
The first step of
anybody’s dental implant process will be an initial consultation with our implant
dentist in Roselle Park, Dr. Jamie Oshidar. Our team will sit down with you and discuss your smile
goals, medical and oral health history, and take X-rays of your mouth. Based on our findings,
we’ll be able to walk you through your treatment options and give you a rundown of what the
process of getting dental implants will look like for you, so you know what to expect.
Placement of Dental Implants
Dr. O has years of advanced,
specialized experience in placing and restoring dental implants. He even teaches his peers about
incorporating dental implant services into their practices, making him a local expert in his field.
Even if you’ve never undergone oral surgery before, the process of implant placement isn’t
something to be scared of. In fact, many of our patients are able to return to their daily schedules
just days after their procedure.
Osseointegration & Abutment Placement
After your implants have
been placed in the jawbone, you’ll undergo a process called osseointegration, where the posts will
fuse with your bone structure. This typically takes between three and six months, but it’s a
crucial step for the success of your new restorations. Once you’ve healed from surgery and
osseointegration is complete, you’ll return to our office for the placement of your abutments,
which are small, metal connector pieces that are attached to the top of each of your implants.
Attaching the Final Restoration
Finally, after your gums
have healed around your abutments and our team has received your permanent restoration, we’ll call
you back in. Before securing your denture, crown, or bridge to your implant posts, we’ll make sure
that it’s crafted to our specifications and looks lifelike. We’ll then secure the
restoration in your mouth to complete your smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Did you know that dental implants are quickly becoming the most popular form of tooth replacement in dentistry to date?
In fact, roughly 500,000 dental implants are being placed every year! One of the reasons they are so popular is the
unique process in which they fuse with your jawbone, giving you benefits that you won’t find with other traditional
solutions. Read on to learn a bit more about what you can expect after your implants are attached and restored with
natural-looking restorations!

Day-to-Day Benefits
- Eat Your Favorite Foods Without Worry: Dental implants are strong enough to break down even the
toughest foods like steak, apples, nuts, and much more. You can expect your tooth replacement to keep up with
you when you need it most, so cook and eat to your heart’s delight!
- Smile and Speak with Confidence: While your smile certainly takes a hit when you’re
missing a visible tooth, speaking can also become more of a challenge. Dental implants work to reduce these
common side effects of tooth loss and give you the confidence to smile and talk to friends, family, and
colleagues without concern.
- Simple At-Home Oral Maintenance: Brushing and flossing feels normal when you have dental
implants. You won’t have to remove a traditional denture or worry about cleaning off denture adhesive
– simply brush twice a day and flossing daily to keep plaque and tartar at bay!
Health Benefits
- Maintain a Strong and Healthy Jawbone: Dental implants physically bond with bone tissue to keep
the titanium post in place. This is what gives them their stability and security for decades to come. It also
stimulates your jawbone, ensuring it remains intact and does not break down.
- Give Neighboring Teeth the Support They Need: Teeth need healthy bone tissue to remain in
place, which means with every tooth you lose, your risk for additional tooth loss increases. With dental
implants, you can stay proactive against this issue and protect the rest of your smile.
- Expand Your Diet for Better Nutrition: Eating certain foods with bridges or dentures is less
than ideal. Certain foods can still be out of reach, making it more difficult to achieve a healthy and balanced
diet. Dental implants can break down just about any food you want, allowing you to get the vital nutrients
necessary to lead a healthy life.
Long-Term Benefits
- Incredibly High Success Rate: Dental implants maintain an average success rate as high as 95%,
making them an extremely reliable option for tooth loss. As long as you practice daily at-home oral care,
don’t use your teeth as a tool, and maintain routine dental checkups, you can expect 30+ years of use from
your dental implants.
- Don’t Require Replacement Restorations: It’s common for dental bridges and dentures
to need replacement every 5 to 15 years and every 5 to 7 years respectively. However, you won’t need to
worry about replacing your dental implant restoration at the same rate (if at all) once your crown, bridge, or
denture is attached.
- Cost-Effective Solution for Tooth Loss: Because of their longevity, dental implants are often
considered a smart long-term investment. When you don’t have to worry about replacements later on in life,
it can make the higher upfront cost of dental implants more reasonable.
Who Dental Implants Can Help
No matter how many teeth
you’re missing, we can design a dental implant treatment to help:
Missing 1 Tooth
While dental bridges have been considered a suitable tooth replacement for single missing teeth over several years,
this type of restoration requires that adjacent natural teeth be significantly altered in order to support its fixed
placement. Alternatively, dental implants are capable of replacing the single tooth without sacrificing the health
or thriving structure of the teeth around it, which is much more ideal for your ongoing wellbeing.
Missing Multiple Teeth
An implant fixed bridge or partial is designed to attach over multiple placed implants, providing excellent
function, comfortable, and aesthetic quality. They will also stay permanently in place (just like real teeth) with
no removal necessary. Patients should become used to their new tooth replacement in just a short time, and
they’ll experience a significant improvement in their ability to chew and speak.
Missing All Teeth
Implant dentures are customized prosthetics that are designed to replace an entire arch of teeth, whether it’s
the top, the bottom, or the entire mouth. If you’re feeling frustrated with the lack of stability,
embarrassing slippage, and unpleasant adhesive use associated with traditional dentures, these appliances can
provide your smile with a much greater degree of stability and permanence, as well as valuable oral health benefits.
Implant dentures can be permanent or removable in nature, depending on the patient’s current health and
personal preferences.
The last thing our team wants to do is leave you without any teeth to smile with, eat with, or enjoy life to the
fullest with. That’s why for eligible candidates, we highly recommend Teeth in a Day as a great solution to
extensive tooth loss. With this state-of-the-art technique, Dr. Oshidar is able to complete a high-tech CT scan,
surgically place the necessary implants, and fabricate a non-removable appliance to attach on top all in the span of
one appointment, creating a newly recompleted smile that is immediately functional. 85% of patients walk out of
their appointment the same day with new teeth!

Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
Dental implants should be considered a significant commitment of finances and time, but the health and aesthetic
benefits patients receive in return are extremely valuable and long-lasting. The overall cost of dental implants
in Roselle Park will depend on several factors, including the scope of your insurance coverage, your current
oral health, the details of the procedure itself, and more. One key factor that will help you save as well as
minimize any confusion when it comes to payment is that we perform the entire procedure in-house. Ur team will
be happy to work with you to help you maximize your dental insurance as well as find ways to help you break up
any remaining costs.

Preliminary Treatments & Dental Implant Surgery
Preliminary treatments may be necessary depending on the status of your jawbone and oral and overall
health. During your initial consultation, your implant dentist in Roselle Park will evaluate your oral
and facial structures using advanced dental technology. After surveying your bone density, teeth, and
gums, it may be necessary to undergo periodontal therapy, bone grafting, a sinus lift, or tooth
extraction. Should you require one or more of these procedures, they will be added to the total cost.
Also, your dental implant surgery will be factored in. The good news is because the entire procedure is
performed in-house, you won’t need to pay a separate fee to an outside specialist for the surgical
component of your new smile.
The Parts of Your Dental Implant
You may not realize it, but the parts of your dental implant also make up a portion of your cost
estimate, including:
-
How many implants you will need – Do you need one, multiple, or between 4-8?
The more implant posts you need, the higher the price.
-
The materials used – Titanium and zirconia are ideal materials that safely
and effectively fuse to the bone, making them suitable and reliable materials.
-
The type of restoration – Whether you need a crown, bridge, or denture,
it’s important to remember that the less time spent on a particular restoration, the lower the
price.
-
The brand – There are many brands of dental implants on the market. While it
is our responsibility to choose the type of dental implant we will use, we must consider the
brand’s height and location. During your consultation, we will discuss the type of dental
implant we plan to use so you can better understand why a higher quality product is far better than
the cheaper options that are available.
How Dental Implants Can Save You Money
When choosing dental implants over traditional bridges or dentures, you will find that while your
upfront investment is much higher, the long-term savings will be well worth it. Unlike traditional
prosthetics that cost less in the beginning, they often require more upkeep, making them costlier in the
long run.
Dental implants, however, do not require that you purchase denture adhesives or special cleaning
supplies. You also don’t need to worry about regular adjustments and replacements because dental
implants are designed to last for 30 years or longer.
Another great benefit that can save you a lot of money over time is the fact that replacing your missing
teeth with dental implants will help to lower your risk for systemic issues. Tooth loss is known to
cause many health-related problems, such as osteoporosis, diabetes, and even heart disease. By
addressing the issue of tooth loss early on with dental implants, you can avoid the time and money
required to treat these advancing diseases and remain in better overall health.
Does My Dental Insurance Cover Dental Implants?
Some dental insurance companies are beginning to offer coverage for dental implants in Roselle Park;
however, most still do not view these prosthetics as a necessity. As a result, you may not be able to
save when it comes to your implant surgery. However, you can file a claim for your preliminary
treatments and/or dental implant restoration. If you need assistance with navigating your policy or
talking with an insurance representative, we’ll be happy to work on your behalf and file any
necessary paperwork and claims to help you save on your treatment.

just simple tooth replacement – they’re a serious commitment that will provide countless worthwhile
benefits to our valued patients in the long run, and that’s why our Roselle Park Dental & Implants

that may be necessary when pursuing dental implants, and Dr. Oshidar will be sure to review them

Bone Grafting
After natural teeth
have been lost for an extended period of time, it’s very likely for the jawbone structure to degrade
in quality, which leaves patients as poor candidates for dental implant placement. However, today’s
modern advances have made it possible to grow new bone in the necessary areas! This means our Roselle Park
team can not only successfully place implants, but also restore the patient’s oral functionality and
appearance.
When planning a bone grafting procedure, Dr. Oshidar will first carefully examine the proposed implant site
in order to determine the overall condition of your oral health. CT scans will reveal the current depth and
width of the remaining bone, as well as its overall quality. The bone tissue we use is typically harvested
from another part of the patient’s body or from a donor or “tissue bank.” After it’s
been added to the treated site, this new material will fuse with the existing tissue. Our team may also
place a synthetic membrane in order to prevent bacterial infection and promote the growth of the new bone.
Sinus Lifts
When upper natural
teeth have to be removed, patients are often left with an extremely thin wall of bone in that area that is
incapable of supporting a dental implant. Here in Roselle Park, our team can perform a sinus lift to correct
this problem and create a more optimal environment for the implant(s). Dr. Oshidar will lift the sinus
membrane and insert the additional tissue onto the sinus “floor” (the upper jaw’s roof).
After the treated area has fully healed, our team will finally be capable of successfully inserting and
stabilizing implants.
Tissue Augmentation
Periodontal (gum) disease is an extremely common health problem – in fact, over 75% of the American
population are suspected to suffer from it. Advanced cases can badly damage your oral health over time,
causing the gum tissue to gradually recede from the teeth. Tissue augmentation is available to correct these
recession issues and restore health and attractiveness to your overall smile. We will either use natural
tissue from a separate area of the body or tissue that comes from a donor for the procedure. The tissue will
be placed in the affected area, helping to not only rebuild the natural gum line but also protect patients
from future bone loss.
Tooth Extractions
Remaining natural
teeth may need to be surgically removed by our staff to make way for your new, implant-retained restoration.
While we know that this sort of situation is never ideal, rest assured that Dr. Oshidar and the rest of our
capable team will handle the process as smoothly and comfortably as we possibly can. Calming sedation
services are available to help you remain at ease if needed, and we begin the implant procedure as soon as
possible following extraction so that any time spent without the strong, confident teeth you need and
deserve is kept to a minimum.
Dental Implant FAQs
Are you looking for the perfect dental solution to replace missing teeth in Roselle Park? Our team highly
recommends finding out if you’re a good candidate for dental implants. They’re a stable, strong, and

we’ve answered some of the most common questions that we receive from our patients about dental implants
so you can make the best decision for your smile.

Does getting dental implants hurt?
If you’ve never had an oral surgery before, the number of unknowns about getting dental implants
in Roselle Park can seem scary. Our team wants you to feel comfortable and at-ease, which is why we take
the time to explain each part of the process, including your dental implant surgery, so you know what to
expect.
Our expert dentists will numb your mouth before placing your implants, ensuring that you don’t
feel an ounce of discomfort throughout the surgery. Oftentimes, our patients are able to continue on
with their lives as they normally would within a day or two following their procedure. If you have any
concerns or anxiety, don’t hesitate to speak with our team so we can put them to rest.
Will people be able to tell my dental implants apart from my natural teeth?
Dental implants look and feel completely natural, making them virtually indistinguishable from
your home-grown teeth. That way, onlookers won’t be able to tell that you’ve ever had any
teeth replaced.
What causes dental implant failure?
Dental implants boast an impressive 95% success rate, even after 10 years of placement. However, there
are certain situations in which they can fail, and it’s important to take all of the precautions
you can to keep this from happening. One of the most common causes of implant failure is
peri-implantitis, which is an infection that can prevent your implants from properly fusing with your
jawbone. To keep this from happening, it’s crucial to quit smoking before and after your surgery
and maintain good oral hygiene to prevent harmful oral bacteria from accumulating in your mouth.
How long will my dental implant procedure take?
The process of getting dental implants varies greatly from patient-to-patient because each treatment is
custom-tailored to fit individual needs. However, typically, the procedure takes place over the course
of several months because the implants need time to fuse with the jawbone after they’re placed.
Once they do and your gums heal, your implant dentist in Roselle Park can then attach the abutments,
followed by the permanent restoration.
Maintaining & Caring for Your Dental Implant
If you want to seamlessly and permanently rebuild your smile, there’s no better option than
dental implant sin Roselle Park. Thanks to their unique placement directly inside the jawbone just like natural
teeth, they boast a far longer lifespan than traditional tooth replacement options. While dentures and dental
bridges need to be replaced every five to seven years, dental implants are designed to last for more than three
decades! In fact, with the right care, you can easily expect your dental implants to last you a lifetime.
Here’s a few easy tips for keeping your newly rebuilt smile strong and sparkling for many years to come.

Make Oral Hygiene a Priority
Unlike natural teeth, dental implants can’t develop cavities. However, that doesn’t mean
that you can slack off on your at-home oral hygiene! If you do, you could potentially develop an
infection in your gums called periodontal disease, which can damage your gums, jawbone, and other
connective tissues that help hold your dental implant in place. Make sure to brush for two minutes twice
a day and floss daily to keep your smile healthy.
Eat a Healthy Diet
Dental implants can restore 80% or more of your natural biting force, allowing you to eat a wide range
of nutritious foods! While this means you can enjoy your favorite steaks, crusty breads, and taffy once
again, make sure to eat plenty of healthy foods that will boost your oral and overall health. This could
include apples, corn on the cob, nuts, raw veggies, and many other nutritious foods that can be
difficult to eat with dentures or a dental bridge.
Break Bad Habits
While a few healthy habits like these can extend the lifespan of your dental implants, bad habits can
put you at a higher risk of dental implant failure. If you want your dental implants to last a lifetime,
make sure to:
-
Quit smoking or chewing tobacco
-
Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, fingernails, and pens
-
Stop using your teeth to open bottles, bags, or packages
Protect Your Dental Implants
Dental implants are strong, but not indestructible. If you play sports, a blow to the face could damage
your dental implant or knock it loose. Wear a custom-made athletic mouthguard every time you play to
protect your smile and even potentially lower your risk of a concussion.
Similarly, the prolonged extra pressure on your dental implant caused by teeth grinding can loosen it or
weaken it. Plus, this condition can also lead to jaw problems like TMJ disorder! If you grind your teeth
at night or suffer from bruxism, we can help protect your smile with a custom nightguard.
Schedule Regular Dental Checkups
Whether you’ve replaced one tooth, several teeth, or all your teeth with dental implants, you
should come visit us every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning. We can remove stubborn tartar
buildup in your mouth and thoroughly clean all those hard-to-reach areas in your mouth to lower your
risk of oral health issues. These regular visits also give us a chance to monitor your dental implants
and ensure no problems are developing. If something is amiss, we can correct it as early as possible
before it becomes a larger, more serious issue.
Dental Implants Post-Op Instructions
The dental implant procedure can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never had oral surgery before. Rest
assured that at Roselle Park Dental & Implants, your smile is in safe hands thanks to Dr. Oshidar’s
impressive, extensive training as well as our highly advanced technology. That being said, you’ll need to
take a few basic steps after your dental implant surgery to ensure you heal properly. We’ll provide you
with personalized dental implant post-op instructions, but here are some basic guidelines.

What to Do Directly After Dental Implant Surgery
As far as surgeries go, dental implant placement is relatively minor. Still, you should plan on resting
for the remainder of the day after your procedure. Many patients feel up to returning to their normal
routines the next day, but it can take a few days to fully recover. As you recuperate from your surgery,
it’s important to help your body heal by:
-
Getting plenty of rest and avoiding strenuous physical activity
-
Taking your prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications as directed
-
Using cold compresses or ice packs as needed
-
Not spitting forcefully or drinking through a straw
-
Staying hydrated with water
-
Practicing great oral hygiene
Common Side Effects
Following dental implant surgery, it’s normal to experience mild, intermittent bleeding from the
surgical site for the next day or two. You’ll also likely feel sore, but cold compresses and pain
relievers should be enough to alleviate it. Swelling may occur near the implant site for up to a week.
If any of these symptoms get worse rather than better, or last longer than a week, please call us right
away.
Diet
To keep the surgical site safe, you’ll need to maintain a soft food diet for at least a week after
your procedure. Stick to foods like:
-
Pasta
-
Mashed potatoes
-
Soup (as long as it’s not too hot)
-
Plain yogurt
-
Cottage cheese
-
Applesauce
-
Pudding
-
Ice cream
-
Scrambled eggs
-
Smoothies (just don’t use a straw!)
Health & Oral Hygiene
Poor oral hygiene in the critical period after dental implant surgery could ultimately lead to dental
implant failure. To prevent an infection from developing, you’ll need to keep your mouth clean.
During the healing process, continue to brush and floss as you normally would; just exercise extreme
caution near the surgical site. Rinsing with mouthwash can help, particularly if we’ve prescribed
one for you, but avoid mouthwash that contains alcohol. Also, do NOT spit out your mouthwash with too
much force.
What to Do After Your New Teeth Are Attached
Once you have fully healed and your implant posts have finished merging with your jawbone, it’s
time for the final step in the process – getting your new pearly whites! After we place your
crown, bridge, or denture, you’ll be ready to show off your new and improved smile. Following this
visit, you shouldn’t experience much discomfort at all. Some general soreness or mild sensitivity
in the gums is common, but it should subside within a day or two at most.
