Dental Implants: A Lifelong Solution for Missing Teeth
Dental Implants: A Lifelong Solution for Missing Teeth
Learn how dental implants from Perfected Smiles in Rochelle Park restore your smile with natural-looking, long-lasting results.
What Are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants restore both the tooth and the root, creating a secure, stable foundation for chewing, smiling, and speaking with confidence.
At Perfected Smiles in Rochelle Park, Dr. Jason Schepis and Dr. Ryan Maher offer customized implant solutions designed to look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. Whether you are missing one tooth or need full arch restoration, dental implants provide a permanent, comfortable, and beautiful result.
Each implant consists of three parts:
The post, which is surgically placed into the jawbone and acts like the root
The abutment, which connects the post to the crown
The crown, which mimics the shape and color of a natural tooth
Once healed, implants become part of your jaw, supporting bone health and allowing you to eat and smile without worry.
Why Choose Dental Implants Over Other Tooth Replacement Options?
When it comes to tooth replacement, dental implants offer unmatched advantages. Compared to bridges or dentures, implants provide:
Superior stability: No slipping, shifting, or adhesives required
Long-term durability: Implants can last 20 years or more with proper care
Natural appearance and function: Eat and speak just as you would with natural teeth
Bone preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone loss
No impact on neighboring teeth: Bridges require grinding down adjacent teeth, but implants do not
For patients who want to restore their smile and protect their oral health long-term, implants are the most reliable and effective solution.
Types of Dental Implants We Offer at Perfected Smiles
Every smile is different, so Dr. Schepis and Dr. Maher offer several types of dental implant solutions based on your needs, budget, and oral health condition:
Single Tooth Implants: Ideal for patients missing one tooth. The implant crown blends naturally with the surrounding teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridges: A great solution if you are missing several teeth in a row. Instead of placing an implant for each tooth, a few implants support a custom bridge.
All-on-4 Full Arch Implants: This technique replaces a full set of upper or lower teeth using just four strategically placed implants. The result is a strong, stable arch that looks and functions like natural teeth.
Mini Dental Implants: These are smaller in diameter and often used when patients have less bone density. They are also a faster and more affordable option for some cases.
We use 3D digital scans, advanced surgical planning, and premium materials to ensure your implants are safe, precise, and long-lasting.

What to Expect From the Dental Implant Process
Getting dental implants involves several steps, but the results are well worth the time investment. At Perfected Smiles, we make the process comfortable and efficient:
Initial Consultation: Dr. Maher or Dr. Schepis will assess your oral health, review X-rays or 3D scans, and determine your candidacy for implants.
Treatment Planning: We customize a plan based on your needs and timeline. Bone grafting may be needed if you have lost bone volume.
Implant Placement: Using guided surgery techniques, we place the implant post into the jawbone with precision and care.
Healing Phase: Over the next few months, the implant fuses with your bone in a process called osseointegration. A temporary restoration may be used during this time.
Abutment and Crown Placement: Once healed, the abutment and custom crown are attached, completing your new tooth.
We are with you every step of the way to ensure your experience is smooth, informed, and supportive.
