Dental Implants

Dental Implants in Annandale, NJ

Dental implants are the only way to completely replace missing teeth. While fixed bridges do provide stability and function, they rely on the continued health of the anchor teeth for security. Similarly, adhesive-based dentures may address aesthetic issues and offer some function, but they lack reliability and, like fixed bridges, do nothing to stimulate the underlying bone.

Dr. John Kush restores traditional dental implants in the Annandale and Clinton area and places mini implants for the stabilization of dentures.

What are Dental Implants and why are They Better?

Dental implants consist of a titanium post, an abutment, and a restoration. The post is surgically placed into the jaw and fuses with the bone to become a secure foundation. They replace the tooth roots to provide stability and return function. Implant-supported restorations are firmly anchored, feel natural, and don’t shift out of place like adhesive-based dentures.  annandale dental implants

While these benefits are enough for many patients in Annandale and Clinton to use dental implants, the most important advantage is the prevention of bone loss. When tooth roots are not present to stimulate the jawbone, it begins to shrink, leading to a sunken or pinched facial appearance.

Implant Supported Crowns, Bridges, and Dentures

There are several ways to replace missing teeth with dental implants:

  • Crowns – These single tooth replications are supported by one implant post and replace one or more individual teeth.
  • Bridges – This restoration can replace two or more teeth in a row with the support of two or three implant posts.
  • Overdentures – These dentures are removable but benefit from the security of two or more dental implants to hold them in place while in use.
  • Hybrid Dentures – This appliance is permanently attached to a minimum of four implant posts per arch. They provide a stable bite and a confident smile for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth.

Testimonials

Genetics may have blessed me with a healthy body, but slackened off by the time it got to those vital little things called teeth. From childhood through my current senior years, my teeth have provided me with introductions to quite a variety of dentists; some good, most average. So I can say from years of experience that I have finally found the Cadillac in the dental industry. That would explain why my husband has also joined me during the last ten+ years in seeking Dr. Kush's artistry.

I use the word artistry because Dr. Kush not only recognizes and works to find a solution to every problem I've brought to him, but has also accomplished what genetics failed to supply - a healthy smile. I have had the security and experience over the years of knowing not only that he is there for me in emergencies, but also has the patience to explain and the willingness to include me in the decisions that will achieve the best result for the problem at hand. Oh, and did I mention his "toys" -those up-to-date little instruments that he seeks out in achieving his goal of a job well done. Yep, the Cadillac of Dentists!

Carol & Dino G.

I recently had a "dental emergency". My laminate on my front tooth broke off, leaving a filed down spike of a tooth, front and center. There was no way I could have gone to work in that condition!

I have always liked Dr. Kush as a dentist, but after this incident, he rates very high on my list. He fit me into his schedule as an immediate visit and gave me a temporary laminate. His technique was so meticulous with both the temporary and permanent tooth. He took extra care in all the details, down to matching the color as exact as possible. As always, he was very professional and caring, but it was also obvious that he is highly skilled at his work.

Thank you!

Kathy C.
