Problems & Symptoms Dental Implants Solve

Dental implants do more than fill a gap they address the underlying issues caused by missing teeth:

Difficulty Chewing: Struggling to enjoy your favorite meals.

Bone Loss: Jawbone deterioration that can alter facial structure, leading to a sunken appearance.

Shifting Teeth: Neighboring teeth moving into the empty space, affecting your bite.

Speech Issues: Changes in speech, such as slurring or whistling sounds.

Reduced Confidence: Feeling self-conscious, hiding your smile, or avoiding social situations.

Problems with Dentures: Messy adhesives, slipping, and overall discomfort from traditional dentures.

Signs You May Need a Dental Implant

Implants are not just cosmetic; they are vital for oral health. You may be a candidate if you are experiencing:

A Missing Tooth:

Gaps can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to bite alignment issues.

Loose Dentures:

If your current dentures slip or cause sores, implant-supported options can lock them in place.

Bone Loss:

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. Implants stimulate the bone, preventing that "sunken" facial appearance.

Cracked or infected teeth:

Severe damage that cannot be saved by a root canal may require extraction and immediate replacement.

Our Dental Implant Process

We make the journey to a new smile simple and transparent.

The Consultation & 3D Scan

Your journey starts with a comprehensive exam. We use 3D imaging to assess your bone density and determine the best implant placement.

Implant Placement

During a minor surgical procedure, the titanium implant post is gently placed into the jawbone. This acts as the "root" for your new tooth. Most patients report feeling far less discomfort than they expected!

Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your natural bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a rock-solid foundation.

Your New Smile

Once healed, we attach a custom-shaded crown that matches your natural teeth perfectly. You walk out with a fully restored, functional smile.

Advanced Technology & Expertise

At Nuva Smile East Brunswick, we don’t guess—we plan. Traditional 2D X-rays often miss critical details. Our practice is equipped with digital oral scanners and CBCT technology, allowing us to see nerves and bone structure in three dimensions. This minimizes surgical risks and significantly reduces recovery time for our patients.

Benefits of Dental Implants

  • Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

  • Functionality: Eat apples, steak, and corn on the cob again without worry.

  • Oral Health: Unlike dental bridges, implants do not require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth.

  • Aesthetics: Our custom crowns are designed to look identical to your natural enamel.

Cost & Financing Options

Many patients in Union County ask, “How much do dental implants cost?” while the cost varies depending on the complexity of the case and the number of implants needed, Nuva Smile is committed to making care accessible.

We accept most major dental insurance plans and will help you maximize your benefits. For out-of-pocket costs, we partner with financing providers like CareCredit and LendingClub to offer low-monthly payment plans that fit your budget.

What to Expect: Before, During & After

Before Surgery: We provide detailed pre-op instructions. Arrange for someone to drive you home.
Day of Surgery: The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia. Most patients report less discomfort than expected.
Recovery: Mild swelling and tenderness are normal for a few days, managed with medication. You’ll be on a soft food diet initially.
Long-Term: With excellent oral hygiene and regular check-ups at our East Brunswick office, your implants can serve you for decades. We’ll show you exactly how to care for your new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the dental implant procedure painful?

Most patients tell us the procedure is much easier than they anticipated! We use local anesthesia to numb the area completely. For anxious patients, we offer sedation dentistry options to ensure you are relaxed throughout the visit. Post-procedure discomfort is usually mild and manageable with over-the-counter medication.

How long does the process take?

From placement to the final crown, the process typically takes 3 to 6 months. This timeline allows your jawbone to properly heal and fuse with the implant, ensuring a result that lasts decades.

Am I too old for dental implants?

Age is rarely a factor! As long as you have healthy gums and sufficient bone density, you are likely a candidate. We have successfully placed implants in patients well into their 80s.

Came to NÜVA Smile, East Brunswick location for an emergency appointment as I had chipped my tooth. The team was very helpful especially Dr. Puri and Brooklyn. They fixed the issue, suggested course of further treatment and made me feel heard and comfortable. I highly recommend them.

I went to NÜVA Smile at the East Brunswick location because I wanted a second opinion after experiencing an aching and throbbing tooth pain that lasted several days. They were prompt in scheduling an appointment for me as a new patient. I also liked that there wasn’t a long wait time as you find at other dental offices. Their dental x-rays showed that I needed a root canal on my upper right tooth followed by a crown. The entire process of getting my root canal and eventually a permanent crown exceeded my expectations. Brooklyn and Palma are the best dental assistants. They have the experience and the kindness that let me know I’m in good hands. They went above and beyond to make sure I had perfectly fit dental caps. Dr. Rabih Al Faytarouni was fantastic. He answered all my questions with reassurance and made sure I was completely pain free before performing the root canal. This dental office took excellent care of me and I'm happy with the end result.
