1. This article, part 1 of 4, addresses some of the questions most frequently asked about dental
implants and the All-on-4 protocol for complete oral rehabilitation.
New Jersey dental implants are one of the most important landmark developments in the
history of dental healthcare. And this is quite simply because they are the most sophisticated
tooth replacement solution specially-trained dentists and oral surgeons can offer patients that
have lost one or more of their original adult teeth. New Jersey dental implant can even be used
to replace a patient’s entire set of old, failing and/or missing teeth; a problem that affects a
staggering number of people entering into their late adulthood. It only takes a single tooth to
dramatically alter the quality of your smile, your bite functionality and overall oral health and
hygiene. Thankfully, New Jersey dental implants have proven themselves, time and again, to
offer the most comprehensive and long term solution. In this four-part article series, leading
experts in the field of implantology and oral rehabilitation will address questions frequently
asked by patients interested in this revolutionary technology.
Question: What are New Jersey Dental Implants?
Answer: Dental implants are tooth replacement devices that,
unlike any previous dental technology, replace both the tooth
root and the crown. They consist of a tiny titanium fixture, which
is inserted into a predrilled socket in the jaw bone at the site/s of
the missing tooth or teeth. A qualified oral surgeon then attaches
an abutment or collar to the top of this fixture, which in turn
provides ‘anchorage’ for a durable and non-removable ceramic
tooth crown.
Question: How is it that dental implants don’t become loose and fall out?
Answer: The answer to this question is an interesting one that hinges on the breakthrough
discovery made by Swedish orthopedic surgeon, Per-Ingvar Brånemark, in 1951. During an

2. extended experiment with titanium metal and rabbit bone, the professor found out, quite by
accident, that this metal was capable of forming a strong biological bond with bone tissue! This
discovery led to the conception of the field in orthopedic surgery dedicated to the replacement
and reparation of joints and bones in the human body. It also made it possible for oral surgeons
to provide patients with a permanent and non-removable tooth replacement solution!
The process whereby titanium – the metal from which the New Jersey dental implants fixtures
are made – physically fuses with the underlying jaw bone is termed ‘osseointegration’. Once
healed properly, the replacement tooth functions, feels and looks just like any natural tooth in
your mouth. It is only in certain rare cases of implant failure that they can become loose and fall
out and this has more to do with a patient’s pre-existing state of oral and general health than
anything else. For example, smokers are at a much greater risk of implant failure than non-
smokers. Generally, though, if placed properly by a skilled and experienced oral surgeon and
cared for according to the instructions provided, New Jersey dental implants enjoy a 98%
success rate!
Question: Can New Jersey dental implants be used to replace all my teeth?
Answer: Yes! New Jersey dental implants can be used to replace
single and multiple teeth. In cases of rampant tooth loss and
edentulism (not having a single original adult tooth left), certain
advanced implant protocol can even be used to provide patients
with a brand new set of non-removable, immediately functional
and highly aesthetic replacement teeth. So, whether patients are
missing one or all of their teeth, New Jersey dental implants
provide comprehensive solutions!
