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.

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.
