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.
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.
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.
We have streamlined the path to your new smile to be as clear and comfortable as possible.
Placing a dental implant is a surgical procedure that demands the highest level of clinical skill. The authority of your Cherry Hill implant dentist at Pristine Smiles is built on a foundation of extensive post-doctoral training, a proven track record of successful cases, and a commitment to using the most advanced, evidence-based techniques.
We earn your trust by ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable at every stage. We provide complete transparency regarding procedures, timelines, and costs. Our practice prioritizes your safety and long-term health, ensuring that every treatment plan is ethically sound and tailored to your specific clinical needs.
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.
