Missing teeth can steal more than just your confidence. When you’re avoiding your favorite foods, covering your mouth when you laugh, or feeling self-conscious in photos, tooth loss impacts every aspect of daily life in ways you might not fully realize until your smile is restored. The good news is that dental implant technology offers a permanent, natural-looking solution that transforms your appearance and your overall quality of life.
At Roman Dental Arts, our father-daughter team brings decades of combined experience to dental implant treatments in our advanced practice. Dr. Donald Roman and Dr. Alissa Roman understand that each patient’s needs are unique, which is why we take a personalized approach to implant dentistry that focuses on both function and aesthetics. We believe every patient deserves a comfortable, caring experience while getting the highest quality dental care.
Dental implants offer advantages that other tooth replacement options simply cannot match. Unlike removable dentures or traditional bridges, implants replace both the visible tooth and the root structure beneath your gum line. The implant body, made from biocompatible materials, fuses naturally with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable foundation that feels and functions just like your natural teeth.
Implants help keep your facial structure by stimulating the jawbone and preventing the bone loss that naturally occurs after tooth extraction. Research from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry shows that you can lose up to 25% of bone in the affected area within just three months of tooth loss. With implants, you maintain healthy bone density and avoid the sunken appearance that can develop with missing teeth.
The durability of dental implants sets them apart from other solutions. While dentures may need frequent adjustments and bridges typically require replacement every 10-15 years, properly cared-for implants can last a lifetime. This makes them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health and overall well-being.
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation where we assess your oral health, bone density, and treatment goals. Using advanced dental technology, we create a detailed treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs. This planning phase ensures optimal implant placement and long-term success.
The placement procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia in our comfortable office. We carefully position the implant body into the jawbone, where it will integrate over the following months. During this healing period, we may provide you with a temporary restoration to maintain your appearance and function.
Once the implant has fully integrated with your bone, we attach a custom-designed crown that matches your natural teeth perfectly. The entire process usually takes several months, but the result is a permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and acts like your original tooth. Many patients find the process more comfortable than they initially expected, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Not every implant case is straightforward, but that doesn’t mean you’re not a candidate for this life-changing treatment. We offer several advanced techniques to help patients who may have been told implants weren’t an option for them. Bone grafting procedures can rebuild lost bone structure, while sinus lift procedures create space for implants in the upper jaw.
For patients missing multiple teeth, we provide both traditional implant-supported bridges and full-mouth reconstruction options. These treatments can replace several teeth or an entire arch using strategically placed implants. The result is a stable, permanent solution that eliminates the need for removable appliances.
We also work closely with patients who have existing dentures and want to transition to implants. Implant-supported dentures offer significantly improved stability and comfort compared to traditional removables, while still being more affordable than singular implants for every missing tooth.
One of the most rewarding aspects of implant dentistry is witnessing how it transforms our patients’ lives. You’ll be able to eat your favorite foods again without worry, speak clearly and confidently, and smile without hesitation. The psychological benefits often surprise patients as much as the physical improvements.
Caring for your implants is easy and similar to caring for natural teeth. Routine brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings will keep your implants healthy for years to come. We’ll provide you with specific care instructions and schedule regular check-ups to monitor your healing and long-term success.
Many patients tell us they forget which teeth are implants because they feel so natural. This seamless integration into your daily life is exactly what we strive for with every implant we place.
At Roman Dental Arts, we combine the wisdom of experience with the innovation of modern dentistry. Though we practice from our Hackensack location, Maywood families have made us their dental home, valuing the short trip for implant care that combines advanced technology with the personal touch of a family practice.
