Dental Implants
Missing teeth have a negative effect on the appearance of your smile and your ability to bite, chew, and speak.
Dental implants fill the gaps left by missing teeth and provide a secure foundation for natural-looking crowns, bridges, or dentures.
The dentists at Ridgewood Dental Associates can expertly restore your smile with dental implants here in Ridgewood, NJ.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots. They are usually made of biocompatible titanium. Our dentists can surgically insert implants through your gums and into your jawbone. Over time, dental implants fuse with your bone and become part of your anatomy. They are then able to support dental restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures.

According to the Institute for Dental Implant Awareness, dental implants have a 95% success rate for long-term use. With proper care and oral hygiene, dental implant posts can last 40 years or longer.Improved Self-Confidence

“They’ve changed my life” Hear What One Patient Has to Say
Dental implants created a new smile for our patient, Joyce, and the transformation rippled through her life in surprising ways, boosting her confidence and inspiring her to lose weight. She thanks the dentists at Ridgewood Dental Associates for making her feel welcomed and well cared for. She credits Dr. Samani's gentle dental care and thoughtful explanations for giving her the confidence to get dental implants, which changed her life.
Important Requirements for Dental Implant Patients
During an implant consultation with our Ridgewood dentists, we will review your medical history and use advanced dental technology to assess your candidacy. Generally, patients must meet the following criteria before we can place implants:
You should be in good dental and general health. This allows you to undergo oral surgery safely and to avoid implant failure.
Good jawbone density is required to support titanium implants. We can perform bone grafting to enhance density if needed.
Poor oral hygiene increases the risk of gum disease and implant failure. Implant candidates must brush and floss regularly.

I have visited RDA since 2007. I live in Monmouth county and I have driven over 60 miles to receive the professional treatment that RDA has to provide. Dr Joung is the best he holds two degrees he’s a periodontist and prosthodontist as well not many dentists achieve such a feat. The level of professionalism stands out the moment you walk in the office and it extends throughout the entire visit by both the team and the doctor himself. I give it a 5 star. 6 stars if Google would add an extra star.
View on GoogleDental Implants Offer Flexible Treatment Options We Can Provide Both Traditional Implants and All-on-4
Dental implants offer solutions for patients missing just one tooth or a complete arch of natural teeth. Whatever your needs, our dentistry practice can provide you with a beautiful, functioning smile.
Traditional Dental Implants
Traditional implant dentistry involves placing an implant where there used to be a tooth root. The process requires two oral surgeries. The first oral surgery places the implant, with a second surgery later to place the abutment. If you lack sufficient jawbone density, you'll need an additional preliminary grafting surgery.
All-on-4® Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implants are designed to support a full denture for people missing most or all of their teeth. With All-on-4, the implants are placed in a single oral surgery, with no need for separate abutment placement. Only four implants are used, strategically placed in order to make the most out of the patient's jawbone structure (bone grafting is usually not required).
Additional Types of Dental Implants
Alternatives to traditional dental implants can provide patients with quicker treatment timelines, improved eligibility, and include:
Immediate Load Implants
Immediate load dental implants allow our dentists to place a temporary restoration following implant placement. This provides you with a restored smile in a single appointment. The temporary restoration will be switched out for a permanent crown once the healing process is complete. While immediate load implants are a quick way to fill the gap in your smile, they are reserved for patients with good jawbone density.
Mini Dental Implants
Much slimmer than traditional implants, mini implants require less-invasive surgery and are typically used to stabilize a set of lower dentures. Mini implants are a good option for you if you are missing most or all of your teeth and have low jawbone density. It is important to keep in mind that because of their size, mini implants cannot withstand the same biting forces and chewing pressure as traditional implants.
Dental Implant Restorations
Dental Crowns
The gap left by a missing tooth can be effectively replaced with a single dental implant and a durable dental crown.
Dental Bridges
Using two implants placed on either side of the gap in your smile, an implant-supported bridge can restore up to four consecutive missing teeth.
Dentures
Whether you are missing numerous teeth or a complete dental arch, a partial or full denture can comfortably address your needs.

I have nothing but good things to say about Ridgewood Dental Associates. It was finally time for me to have major dental work done and called RDA for an appointment. Never once was I made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed that it had been years since I saw a dentist. Dr. Joung met with me to explain the implant surgery he would be performing and put me at ease knowing that I was in good hands with both doctors and staff. Dr. Samani used his expertise to give me back my healthy smile. The doctors and staff are warm and friendly and treat you like family. I would definitely recommend RDA for all your dental needs

I truly cannot recommend this dental office enough. The entire staff is incredibly friendly. I had only visited the office once or twice and by my next visit over a year later they still remembered my name just by looking at me, which I found impressive being that they see many patients. Every visit I have with this office is pleasant. They answer questions thoroughly and patiently. Instead of avoiding smiling, laughing, and hiding the way I had for 24 years, now I'm excited to smile every day. Dr. Joung did an incredible job and I'll always be thankful for him and this staff. I love this place!

The dentists of Ridgewood Dental Associates have changed so many lives thanks to implant dentistry. Here is a case study so you can see the benefits of dental implants in action.
What to Expect From Implant Placement to Final Restoration
The traditional dental implant process from beginning to end lasts about four to seven months. Here is an overview of the important steps in the treatment process:
You'll only have to visit one practice for the entirety of your implant treatment. We are able to complete each stage in-house.
Placing the Implants
The initial oral surgery involves securely anchoring the titanium implants into the jawbone. Temporary implant restorations may be provided at this early stage of treatment.
Osseointegration
In the three to six months after surgery, the titanium implants fuse with the surrounding bone. This process is known as "osseointegration" and is essential for implant success.
Placing the Abutment
Abutments are placed in a second surgery after osseointegration is complete. The abutments are visible through the gums, connecting the implants with the final restorations.
