Long-term tooth replacement · Union, NJ
Dental Implants in Union, NJ
A dental implant is a small post placed in the jaw to support a replacement tooth. Combined with a custom crown, bridge, or denture, implant treatment restores function and helps preserve bone at the missing-tooth site.
The essentials
What is a dental implant restoration?
An implant restoration replaces the visible portion of a missing tooth or teeth and connects to one or more implants secured in the jaw.
A single implant may support a crown, several implants may support a bridge, and strategically placed implants may stabilize a denture. The implant must integrate with the surrounding bone before it can support the final restoration predictably.
Michael Hogan, DDS, and the Union Family Dental team in Union, NJ coordinate diagnosis, implant care, and the custom restoration according to your anatomy and treatment needs.
