Missing teeth affect far more than just your smile’s appearance—they impact your ability to eat your favorite foods, speak with confidence, and maintain proper oral health as surrounding teeth begin to shift and bone structure deteriorates. Traditional tooth replacement options like dentures and bridges, while helpful, cannot fully replicate the function and stability of natural teeth or prevent the long-term consequences of tooth loss.
At Maple Glen Modern Dentistry, Dr. Adam Rudin’s advanced training in implantology from NYU allows him to provide comprehensive implant treatment that restores both the root and crown of missing teeth. His specialized two-year implantology program, combined with over a decade of experience, means you receive expert implant placement and restoration in our office, ensuring coordinated care that produces optimal results with maximum convenience.

Dental implants represent the most advanced solution for tooth replacement because they address both the visible crown and the underlying root structure that maintains bone health and provides stability. Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants actually stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that naturally occurs when teeth are missing.
The titanium implant post fuses with your jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation that can support normal chewing forces without affecting adjacent teeth. This integration makes implants the only tooth replacement option that actually strengthens your jaw while providing permanent, natural-feeling results.
Implants eliminate the inconveniences associated with removable dentures, such as slipping, clicking, or dietary restrictions, while avoiding the need to alter healthy adjacent teeth as required for traditional bridges. The result is a tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions exactly like your natural teeth.
Missing teeth cause facial collapse as the underlying bone deteriorates over time. Implants prevent this bone loss by providing the stimulation your jawbone needs to remain healthy and strong, maintaining your natural facial proportions and youthful appearance.
Every patient’s implant needs are unique, which is why we offer a complete range of implant solutions designed to address everything from single missing teeth to full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Rudin’s advanced training allows him to handle complex cases that might otherwise require referral to specialists, providing you with coordinated care and optimal results.
Our implant treatment planning uses advanced 3D imaging to ensure precise placement while avoiding important anatomical structures. This detailed planning approach allows for predictable outcomes while minimizing treatment time and maximizing your comfort throughout the process.
Individual implants provide the ideal solution for replacing single missing teeth without affecting adjacent healthy teeth. The implant post replaces the root while a custom crown restores the visible portion, creating a replacement that integrates seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Single tooth implants preserve the health of surrounding teeth by eliminating the need to prepare adjacent teeth for bridge support. The independent nature of implant-supported teeth also makes cleaning easier, promoting better long-term oral health.
Implant-supported bridges provide stable, permanent solutions for replacing several consecutive missing teeth. These restorations use strategically placed implants as anchors, eliminating the need for removable dentures while providing superior stability and function.
The number of implants required depends on the number of missing teeth and the quality of available bone, but most multiple tooth situations can be restored with fewer implants than missing teeth, making treatment more efficient and cost-effective.
For patients missing all or most of their teeth, implant-supported full mouth reconstruction provides life-changing results that restore complete function and natural appearance. These comprehensive solutions use strategically placed implants to support fixed bridges that replace entire arches of teeth.
Full mouth implant reconstruction eliminates the problems associated with traditional dentures while providing the stability and function necessary for normal eating, speaking, and social interaction. The fixed nature of these restorations means they never slip, require adhesives, or need to be removed for cleaning.
Successful implant treatment requires careful planning, precise placement, and expert restoration to achieve optimal results. Dr. Rudin’s comprehensive approach ensures every aspect of your implant treatment is coordinated for maximum success and patient comfort.
The implant process typically occurs in phases to allow for proper healing and integration between procedures. This staged approach ensures the best possible outcome while allowing your body time to adapt to each phase of treatment.
Your implant journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including advanced 3D imaging to assess bone quality, quantity, and anatomical considerations. This detailed analysis allows Dr. Rudin to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
During the planning phase, we discuss your treatment options, timeline, and expected outcomes to ensure you have realistic expectations and feel confident about your treatment plan. This collaborative approach ensures your implant treatment aligns with your lifestyle and goals.
The implant placement procedure is performed using local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Dr. Rudin’s advanced training and experience allow for precise, minimally invasive placement that promotes faster healing and reduces post-operative discomfort.
Implant surgery will include:
The implant placement procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes per implant, depending on the complexity of your case and the number of implants being placed.
Following implant placement, a healing period of 3-6 months allows the implant to integrate with your jawbone through osseointegration. During this time, temporary restorations may be provided to maintain aesthetics and function while your implants heal.
We monitor your healing progress through regular follow-up appointments, ensuring proper integration before proceeding to the restoration phase. This careful approach maximizes the long-term success of your implant treatment.
Once integration is complete, your custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your tooth replacement. Dr. Rudin’s attention to detail ensures your restoration matches your natural teeth perfectly while providing optimal function and comfort.
The restoration process involves taking precise impressions and working with skilled laboratory technicians to create restorations that meet the highest standards for aesthetics and function. Multiple fittings may be required to ensure a perfect fit and bite alignment before final placement.
Dental implants provide benefits that extend far beyond simple tooth replacement, improving your quality of life in ways that other treatment options cannot match. Patients consistently report dramatic improvements in their ability to eat, speak, and interact socially following implant treatment.
The permanent nature of implants eliminates the ongoing maintenance and replacement costs associated with other tooth replacement options, making them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health and overall well-being.
Missing teeth can significantly impact your self-confidence and willingness to smile, laugh, or speak in social and professional situations. Implants restore your natural smile and eliminate the embarrassment associated with missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures.
The stability and strength of implant-supported teeth allow you to eat all your favorite foods without restriction, improving your nutrition and overall health. Unlike dentures, which may limit your food choices, implants provide the chewing efficiency of natural teeth.
Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures can affect your speech clarity and confidence. Implants provide the stability necessary for clear speech while eliminating the clicking or slipping sounds that can occur with removable appliances.
Implants help maintain the health of surrounding teeth and gums by preserving bone structure and eliminating the need to alter adjacent healthy teeth. This preservation of your natural oral anatomy promotes better long-term oral health outcomes.
Most patients who have lost one or more teeth are candidates for dental implant treatment, though individual factors such as bone quality, medical history, and oral health status influence treatment planning and success rates. Dr. Rudin’s comprehensive evaluation determines your candidacy while identifying any factors that may need to be addressed before implant placement.
Modern implant techniques and materials have dramatically improved success rates, with properly placed and maintained implants having success rates exceeding 95%. Factors that contribute to implant success include adequate bone support, good oral hygiene, regular dental care, and avoiding habits that could damage the implant or restoration.
In cases where insufficient bone is available for implant placement, bone grafting procedures can often create the necessary foundation for successful implant treatment. Dr. Rudin’s training includes advanced bone grafting techniques that can restore bone volume and quality in most situations.
