Replacing a tooth

Three ways to fill a gap.

Most people arrive having been told they need an implant, without ever having been shown the alternatives. All three are done here, and which one suits you is a clinical question — but you should at least know what the other two are.

The traditional one

Bridge

Replaces
One tooth
Uses
The teeth either side
Visits
Usually two
Surgery
None

Quickest and cheapest, but it means cutting down two healthy teeth to carry the replacement. Sometimes exactly right — particularly if those teeth need crowns anyway.

One tooth

Single implant

Replaces
One tooth
Uses
Nothing else
Visits
Several, over months
Surgery
Yes

A titanium root placed in the jaw with a crown on top. Leaves the neighbouring teeth untouched, which is the whole argument for it. Takes months because the bone has to heal around it.

A whole arch

All-on-4

Replaces
A full arch
Uses
Four implants
Visits
Several, over months
Surgery
Yes

A full fixed set of teeth carried on four implants rather than one per tooth. For people facing full dentures, this is the alternative worth understanding before deciding.

The consultation is free, and it includes the scan.

That matters more than it sounds. A free consultation that is fifteen minutes of conversation tells you nothing. One that includes a CBCT scan produces the actual three-dimensional picture of your jaw — bone height, nerve position, sinus — which is what determines whether an implant is even possible.

You can take that information away. It is yours either way.

What is included

  • Clinical examination
  • CBCT 3D scan
  • X-rays as needed
  • A plan, with the alternatives
Two things to ask before you commit. First, the total cost including the crown and any bone grafting — implant prices are often quoted for the post alone. Second, what happens if the implant fails, and who pays for the remedy. A practice confident in its work answers both without hesitating.
The equipment

Guided surgery means planned surgery.

The scan is not there to look impressive. It is used to plan the angle and depth of each implant before the day, which is the difference between guided placement and freehand.

The CBCT imaging room

The CBCT scanner. A 3D picture of the jaw rather than a flat x-ray of it.

What is actually being placed: a titanium post in bone, with the crown built on top of it.

The surgical operatory

A surgical operatory set up for implant placement rather than a general room borrowed for it.

A patient in her sixties, after treatment

Most implant patients are not replacing one tooth in isolation. They are dealing with the consequence of something removed years ago.

Who actually has this done

The people who end up in an implant consultation are rarely there for a single missing tooth. Usually a molar came out a decade ago, the teeth either side have drifted into the gap, and chewing has quietly moved to one side of the mouth.

That is the reason the three options above are worth comparing properly rather than being told which one to have. What has already happened to the bone decides most of it, and that is what the scan is for.

Worth asking on the call: what training in implantology, how many placed, and over how long. The practice does not publish credentials, and any good implant dentist enjoys that question.

The practice

Three dentists, two hygienists, one office.

Unusually for an implant-focused practice this size, the whole team is named. That is worth more than it looks: it means the surgery and the restoration are not being handed between strangers.

IC

Dr. Insik David Chung

Dentist

Named by the practice among its dentists at the Ramapo Valley Road office.

JP

Dr. Jennifer Mijin Park

Dentist

Named by the practice among its dentists at the Ramapo Valley Road office.

SJ

Dr. Sungmin Peter Jeoun

Dentist

Named by the practice among its dentists at the Ramapo Valley Road office.

DG

Debbie Romer Gonzales

Dental hygienist

Hygiene appointments — the visits that keep implants and natural teeth alike.

DW

Dawn Weber

Dental hygienist

Hygiene appointments and the cleaning technique that works around implant work.

LC

Laura Cuppi

Office manager

Appointments, insurance and treatment costs. The person to ask about the total before you start.

Dental schools, degrees and years qualified are not listed here because the practice does not publish them. For implant surgery specifically, that is worth asking about directly: what training in implantology, how many placed, and over how long. Any good implant dentist enjoys that question.
Care

And the everyday work too.

Implants are the focus, not the whole of it. The general dentistry that keeps the rest of the mouth sound is done here as well.

Implants

Single implants

One titanium post, one crown, no alteration to the teeth either side.

Implants

All-on-4

A fixed full arch carried on four implants, for people otherwise facing complete dentures.

Planning

3D guided surgery

Placement planned on the CBCT scan beforehand rather than judged freehand on the day.

Restoring

BruxZir crowns

Solid zirconia crowns — hard-wearing, which matters most for people who grind.

Restoring

Bridges

Fixed bridges where they are the better answer, and said so plainly when they are.

Saving

Root canal therapy

Keeping a tooth is nearly always better than replacing it. Extraction is not the default here.

Everyday

Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings for new decay and for old fillings that have started to fail.

Cosmetic

Veneers

Porcelain veneers for the front teeth, planned before anything is prepared.

Urgent

Emergency care

Pain, a broken tooth, a failed restoration. Tuesday evenings run to eight, which helps.

A note on the referral reward. The practice offers a gift card for recommending a new patient. Rewards of that kind are common, but they sit close to rules on inducements — particularly for patients on federal programmes. Worth a conversation with the practice’s own adviser before it is advertised prominently.

The practice uses a Gmail address. For a practice quoting five-figure implant plans, an address at its own domain costs a few dollars a month and materially changes how the first email reads. It is the cheapest credibility upgrade on this list.
