Dental Implants - Cherry Hill, NJ

Dental Implants Cherry Hill, NJ

Living with a missing tooth can significantly impact your confidence, your ability to chew comfortably, and your overall oral health. While options like bridges and dentures have been used for years, nothing compares to the stability, durability, and natural feel of a dental implant. At Pristine Smiles, we are fortunate to have a dual certified specialist in both periodontics and prosthodontics.  Our expert Cherry Hill implant dentist, Dr. Ana Kodral, offers life-changing tooth replacement solutions. In addition to dental implants, Dr. Kodral specializes in full mouth rehabilitation and periodontal/ gum and bone surgeries. 

A dental implant is the only treatment that replaces both the root and crown of a missing tooth, creating a permanent, secure foundation for a beautiful, functional restoration. It's time to stop hiding your smile and start living with the confidence that only a complete, healthy set of teeth can provide.

Why Choose Pristine Smiles as Your South Jersey Implant Dentist?

Dental implant placement is a sophisticated procedure that requires extensive training, precision planning, and surgical skill. Choosing the right dentist is the most critical factor in the success of your treatment. Pristine Smiles is the trusted choice for implant dentistry in Cherry Hill for a reason.

  • Advanced Training and Surgical Expertise: Our dentists have undergone rigorous post-graduate training specifically in implant dentistry. This specialized knowledge of surgical placement and restoration ensures your procedure is safe, efficient, and successful.
  • State-of-the-Art 3D Guided Surgery: We use advanced cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to create a detailed 3D model of your jaw. This allows us to digitally plan the precise placement of your implant for optimal stability and to avoid nerves and sinuses, making the surgery safer and more predictable.
  • Comprehensive, In-House Treatment: From your initial consultation and surgical placement to the final attachment of your custom crown, every step of your implant journey is completed right here in our comfortable Cherry Hill office. This streamlines your care and ensures seamless communication.
  • Focus on Long-Term Success: Our goal is not just to place an implant but to ensure it lasts a lifetime. We use only the highest-quality, biocompatible titanium implants and provide detailed guidance on how to care for your new tooth to ensure decades of reliable function.

The Unmatched Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are widely recognized by dentists as the superior solution for tooth replacement. They are designed to fully integrate with your body and provide benefits that other options simply cannot match.

  • Looks, Feels, and Functions Like a Natural Tooth: Because the implant is anchored in your jawbone, it provides unparalleled stability. You can eat all your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile with total confidence.
  • Prevents Bone Loss: When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area begins to deteriorate. A dental implant stimulates the bone, just like a natural to oth root, preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure.
  • Protects Adjacent Teeth: Unlike a traditional dental bridge, an implant does not require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. It is a standalone solution that protects your natural smile.
  • A Lifetime Solution: With proper care and regular dental check-ups, a dental implant is designed to last a lifetime, making it the most durable and cost-effective long-term solution for a missing tooth.

Your Dental Implant Journey at Pristine Smiles

We have streamlined the path to your new smile to be as clear and comfortable as possible.

  • Consultation and Planning: Your journey begins with a comprehensive exam, including 3D imaging, to ensure you are a good candidate for implant therapy. We will discuss your goals and create a detailed, personalized treatment plan.
  • Implant Placement: In a comfortable surgical procedure, the small titanium implant post is precisely placed into your jawbone. Your jaw will then be given time to heal and fuse with the implant in a process called osseointegration.
  • Abutment and Crown Placement: Once healing is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant post. We then take a digital impression to create your final, custom-made porcelain crown.
  • Enjoy Your New Smile: At your final appointment, we will securely attach your beautiful, custom-matched crown to the abutment, completing your restoration. You can leave our office ready to eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

1. Is the dental implant procedure painful?

No. The implant placement surgery is performed under effective local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. Most patients report that the post-operative discomfort is minimal and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers—often less discomfort than a tooth extraction.

2. How long does the entire dental implant process take?

The total timeline can vary from a few months to over a year, depending on your body's healing capacity and whether preliminary procedures like bone grafting are needed. The most time-consuming part is the healing period (osseointegration), which typically takes 3 to 6 months.

3. Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most adults who are missing one or more teeth and are in good general health are candidates for dental implants. The primary requirement is having sufficient jawbone density to support the implant. If you have experienced bone loss, a bone grafting procedure can often make implant placement possible.

4. How much do dental implants cost?

A dental implant is a significant investment in your long-term health and quality of life. The cost can vary depending on the number of implants and whether additional procedures are needed. While the upfront cost is higher than other options, their longevity often makes them the most cost-effective solution over a lifetime. We offer flexible financing options to help make treatment affordable.

5. How do I care for my new dental implant?

You care for an implant-supported crown just like you would a natural tooth. A consistent routine of brushing twice a day, flossing daily (using special floss to clean around the implant), and attending your regular six-month dental check-ups is all that's required to ensure your implant lasts for many years to come.
