Implant Dentistry

At The Center for Implants and Aesthetics, Dr. Minichetti and our team restore smiles and lives through implant dentistry. Dr. Minichetti has earned his fellowship in many organizations, including the International Congress of Oral Implantology and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. He established The Dental Implant Learning Center where he trains dentists to place and restore dental implants. If your smile is missing teeth, you'll be in great hands with Dr. Minichetti and our team.

A dental implant is a small titanium post that fits precisely into the socket left by a missing tooth. Bone tissue naturally fuses with the biocompatible titanium to create a solid foundation – a replacement tooth root. Dr. Minichetti and our team use state-of-the-art technology to appropriately plan dental implant cases, which improves potential for success. After the bone and gum tissue heals, we can place a single restoration, a bridge or dentures on the post. Single-tooth implants each hold one replacement tooth.

Often, dental implants are placed to secure bridges, partials, or dentures.

Implant-supported bridge - Instead of crowning healthy teeth to hold a bridge in place, we can place an implant where a tooth is missing, and the implant can secure the bridge. This conservative option allows patients to keep healthy teeth intact, which is always the best option.

Implant-supported partial or denture - Many people dislike dentures because they slip out of place at inconvenient times. A denture held in place with adhesive can make speaking and eating in public rather embarrassing. Furthermore, even with a denture, a person can't always eat what he wants. Some foods don't work well with dentures. An implant-supported denture, however, will not slip and slide, requires no adhesive, and allows a person to eat whatever he wants, whenever he chooses.

For comprehensive implant, general, and cosmetic dentistry, discerning individuals from Fort Lee, Bergen County, and the greater New York metropolitan area turn to Englewood Dental. If you have sufficient bone tissue and good oral health, you may be a candidate for dental implants. We provide extended office hours on evenings and weekends to cater to patients of all ages and from all walks of life. Dr. Minichetti, his esteemed associates, and our experienced team are eager for you to live life to the fullest with a healthy, beautiful, lasting smile. Call today to reserve your personal consultation, and we'll give you something to smile about!
