Missing teeth are more than a cosmetic concern. Tooth loss changes how you chew, how you speak, and how your jawbone holds its shape over time. Left unaddressed, it can contribute to digestive issues, sleep-disordered breathing, and further tooth loss. Dental implants replace both the crown and the root of a missing tooth, restoring full function and preserving the bone structure underneath.
Traditional dentures can help, but dental implants and implant-supported dentures offer a lasting solution that lets you eat, speak, and smile without compromise. If you've lost a tooth or several teeth to injury or disease, dental implants can restore both your smile and your oral health. Our experienced team has served Bergen County patients for years, making Dr. Dayna Cassandra & Associates a trusted choice for implant dentistry.

Your smile is our priority, no matter where you are!
A dental implant is a synthetic tooth root in the shape of a post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. The “root” is usually made of titanium, the same material used in many replacement hips and knees, and a metal that is well-suited to pair with human bone.
A replacement tooth is then fixed to the post. The tooth can be either permanently attached or removable. Permanent teeth are more stable and feel more like natural teeth.
Paramus dental implant patients have options based on how many teeth are missing. If you're only missing one tooth, one implant plus one replacement crown will do the trick. If you're missing several teeth in a row, a few strategically placed implants can support a permanent bridge. If you've lost all of your teeth in an arch, a full bridge or full denture can be permanently anchored with a strategic number of implants.
We've broken down the process to show you just how smooth and comfortable your journey to a renewed smile can be:

Our comprehensive approach ensures that whatever your dental challenge, we have the expertise and technology to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
Conventional dentures are not fixed to the bone and can, therefore, be unstable. This can make it difficult to eat or smile confidently. Bridges may close the space, however, they can be more challenging when it comes to home care and they may have a shorter life span than implants.
Dental implants look more natural and feel and act more like normal teeth, with a stronger biting force. And because they don't directly rely on neighboring teeth for support, implants don't compromise the health of your natural teeth. Bridges are only expected to last seven to ten years, even less with root canals, whereas implants typically last a lifetime.
Whether you're missing a single tooth or need a full-mouth restoration, our expert team can tailor a solution for you. The ideal candidate for implants is a non-smoker with good oral health, including a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw and healthy gums with no sign of gum disease.
We've helped countless patients across Bergen County achieve the smile they've always wanted. Ready to find out if dental implants are right for you?

Here's what you need to know about recovery and aftercare following your dental implant procedure:
For patients missing all or most of their teeth in an upper or lower arch, full-arch implant solutions replace an entire row of teeth with as few as four to six strategically placed implants. Options include All-on-4, All-on-6, and implant-supported dentures, each designed to deliver a stable, permanent set of teeth without the discomfort of traditional removable dentures. Full-arch cases are planned around your bone structure, bite, and long-term goals. In many situations, we can place implants at angles that reduce or eliminate the need for bone grafting, shortening treatment time while maintaining long-term stability. During your consultation, we'll review your 3D scans, discuss your options, and build a treatment plan tailored to your case.
Following these guidelines and maintaining regular dental check-ups, you're setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles with your new dental implants.
Consider your replacement teeth to be the same as natural teeth. They require the same daily brushing and flossing and the same number of regular checkups. Like your natural teeth, the better you care for your replacements, the longer they will last.
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With proper care and maintenance, they can last a lifetime. The implant (the titanium post inserted into your jawbone) can last several decades or even a lifetime. The crown (the tooth's visible part) may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are vital to maximizing the lifespan of your implants.
Insurance coverage for dental implants varies widely depending on your specific plan and the reason for the implant. Some plans may cover a portion of the procedure, especially if the tooth loss was due to an accident or medical condition. Many plans consider implants an elective procedure and may not provide coverage. However, our office offers various financing options to help make implants more affordable. We recommend checking with your insurance provider and discussing payment options with our team during your consultation.
In some cases, yes! This procedure, often called "immediate load dental implants" or "Teeth in a Day," allows for the placement of a temporary tooth during the same appointment as your implant placement. However, only some are candidates for this procedure. It depends on factors such as bone density, implant location, and overall oral health. During your consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your specific case and discuss whether same-day implants are a suitable option for you.
Dental implants look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. Once the implant fully integrates with your jawbone, you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between your implant and your natural teeth. You'll be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing your implant is securely anchored in your jaw. Many of our patients report that they forget which tooth is the implant!
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the implant procedure is. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia so that you won't feel any pain during the procedure. Some discomfort and swelling are expected in the days following the surgery, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and cold compresses. Our team is committed to ensuring your comfort throughout the entire process. We also offer sedation options for patients who experience dental anxiety.
