Dental Implants

If missing teeth cause discomfort or embarrassment, you deserve to rediscover the joy of a full, radiant smile. At Morris Plains Center for Dentistry, we offer long-term tooth replacement with dental implants so you can eat, speak, and smile more confidently.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

Unlike traditional tooth replacements like dentures or bridges, a dental implant replaces your entire tooth. It comprises:

  • A titanium post that is surgically placed, replacing the missing tooth root.
  • An abutment is an attachment that connects the implant post to the replacement tooth.
  • A prosthetic tooth (crown) crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Dental implants are an excellent solution for many, but they work best for those with healthy gums and adequate jawbone density to support the implant. 

Getting Started with Dental Implants

Getting a dental implant is a process that requires several steps and months to complete.

First, Dr. Bagley will evaluate your oral health using state-of-the-art technology to determine if you're a good implant candidate. He then collaborates with top specialists in our area who place your implants and ensure you are in the best hands every step of the way.

Over the next 3–6 months, the bone and tissue in your jaw fuse with the biocompatible implant in a process called osseointegration.

Once healed, Dr. Bagley places a dental crown, bridge, or denture on the implant. We use only the highest quality materials for your replacement tooth, so you can be confident it will look realistic and blend perfectly with your smile.

The Life-Enhancing Benefits of Dental Implants

Dealing with missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures can be a daily hassle. Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement for numerous reasons.
Permanent Solution
Unlike bridges or dentures that may need replacement every 5-10 years, dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care. This makes them a cost-effective option in the long run despite the higher initial investment.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Your implant restoration will look completely natural, with the crown, bridge, or denture carefully crafted to match your remaining teeth in color, shape, and size. The result is a seamless smile that looks and feels like your own.
Improved Chewing
With the same strength and stability as natural teeth, dental implants restore nearly 100% of your chewing ability. You can enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions, maintaining proper nutrition and quality of life.
Tooth Stability
Implants are anchored securely, eliminating the slipping or clicking that sometimes occurs with dentures. This stability allows you to speak and eat with complete confidence in any social situation.
Jawbone Health
When a tooth is lost, the bone supporting it begins to deteriorate. Dental implants stimulate and preserve jawbone growth, preventing the sunken facial appearance that often occurs with tooth loss.
High Success Rate
Dental implants boast a success rate of over 95% when placed by qualified professionals. Dr. Bagley works with trusted specialists to ensure optimal outcomes for patients from Morris Plains and surrounding communities.

Dr. Bagley and his team do good work and are very friendly. I hate going to the dentist but they make the experience less nerve-wracking. Dr. Bagley himself is excellent and efficient at his work, and ask all the right questions to make sure you are comfortable or if there is anything wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of dental implants varies based on your specific needs and treatment plan. Dental implants are an investment in your long-term oral health, and we are committed to helping you find a financial solution that works for your budget.

Factors That Impact Dental Implant Costs

Several factors influence the total cost of dental implant treatment:

  • Number of implants needed — Replacing a single tooth costs less than multiple teeth or full-arch restorations
  • Preparatory procedures — Some patients require bone grafting or sinus lifts before implant placement
  • Type of restoration — A single crown, multi-tooth bridge, or implant-supported denture each has a different cost
  • Materials used — High-quality, biocompatible materials ensure the best results but affect overall pricing
  • Complexity of your case — Each patient's oral health situation is unique, affecting treatment requirements

Dr. Bagley provides detailed treatment plans and transparent cost information during your consultation, allowing you to make informed decisions about your care.

Our Insurance and Payment Options

While dental implants represent a significant investment, we offer several ways to make them more affordable:

  • Dental insurance, which may cover the implant restoration.
  • CareCredit financing allows you to spread payments over time.
  • In-house membership plan with discounts on services for uninsured patients.
