Question 1

How much do dental implants cost in Tinton Falls, NJ?

Accepted Answer

The cost varies depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. Premier Periodontics offers CareCredit and Lending Club financing, plus flexible payment plans. We'll provide a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation.

Question 2

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Most adults are candidates, and age is rarely a barrier—we regularly treat patients in their 60s, 70s, and beyond. Dr. Zatzkin performs a comprehensive examination using 3D CT imaging to assess your jawbone and overall health.

Question 3

How long does the dental implant process take?

Accepted Answer

The complete process typically takes three to six months. This includes osseointegration, where the implant fuses with your jawbone. Some cases qualify for same-day temporary teeth.

Question 4

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most patients report the surgery is less uncomfortable than expected, often comparing it to a tooth extraction. Post-operative discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.

Question 5

Do dental implants look natural?

Accepted Answer

Dental implants provide the most natural-looking results available. Your custom crown is precisely crafted to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and translucency.

Question 6

How long do dental implants last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant is designed for permanent placement, while the crown may need replacement after 15-20 years.

Question 7

What is the success rate of dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Dental implants have a 95-98% success rate nationally. Dr. Zatzkin's 24 years of periodontal experience and advanced technology help optimize outcomes.

Question 8

What sedation options are available?

Accepted Answer

We offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Dr. Zatzkin's computerized injection system eliminates the pinch most patients dread.

Question 9

Does dental insurance cover implants?

Accepted Answer

Many plans now offer partial coverage, though benefits vary. Our billing team works with your carrier to maximize benefits.

Question 10

What is the recovery time?

Accepted Answer

Initial recovery takes about three to seven days. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Complete healing takes three to six months.

Question 11

How do implants compare to dentures?

Accepted Answer

Implants are permanently anchored—no slipping. They preserve jawbone, improve chewing by up to 90%, and can last a lifetime versus 5-7 years for dentures.

Question 12

What is All-on-4 treatment?

Accepted Answer

All-on-4 replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. This approach often eliminates the need for bone grafting and allows same-day temporary teeth.
