Early in 2020, I had implants done with both Drs. Hecht and I have been extremely pleased with my results. In November I had the pleasure of Dr. Christine's work with 6 new caps. She is a wonderful clinician and truly took the time to explain everything to me. I would also like to acknowledge Jackie from the front desk staff. She is always accommodating, pleasant and efficient.

What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small post usually made from titanium surgically inserted into the jawbone. The titanium fuses to the jaw to act as your natural tooth roots would. Once the post fuses with the bone, it acts as an artificial tooth root. Titanium is biocompatible, meaning the body won't reject the material.
Dental implants are the only tooth restoration technique that replaces a lost tooth root. This provides unmatched stability for replacement teeth and encourages new bone growth to keep your jaw strong.
A complete implant-supported restoration includes the dental implant, a connector piece called an abutment, and the artificial tooth. When multiple implants are used, they can support everything from a dental bridge to a full-arch denture.
Implants Offer Versatile Solutions For Missing Teeth
Single Tooth
For patients missing a single tooth, implant-supported crowns offer a healthy and secure alternative to traditional dental bridges.
Row of Teeth
Two implants can support a dental bridge without having to alter nearby natural teeth. A traditional bridge requires alteration of healthy nearby teeth.
Full Tooth Loss
Implant-supported dentures can replace a complete arch of teeth in your upper or lower jaw and erase concerns about slipping dentures.
Convenient, Effective Tooth Replacement Call for a Free Consultation
While most dentists in the area refer patients to oral surgeons for the surgical stage of the dental implant procedure, Dr. Alex Hecht and his son Dr. Jason Hecht have advanced training in both the surgical and restorative phases of implant dentistry.
Our office also features state-of-the-art diagnostic systems, including a CT scan machine that allows us to capture detailed 3-D images of your smile, including your jawbone. This helps us determine whether you are a suitable candidate for dental implants and pinpoints prime locations for the implants so we can achieve superior results.

Howard Tucker
2019
I have now used Drs. Alex and Jason Hecht, Dr. Brandon Katz, Dr. Michael Klausner, and gifted hygienist Lorene for about four years now. I have been given excellent service and diagnoses from all, and now have a nice smile and am able to eat and chew what I want without fear of losing a cap or a bridge. The team has put in several implants now, all with great success. I get regular cleanings from Lorene, who makes sure I retain my teeth as long as possible (I am nearing 70 years old). The office managers, Judy and Dawn, are very careful to submit my insurance and bill me amounts within reason. I can't say enough for this fine firm.

After shopping around for implants, my mother told me about this place after receiving a flyer in the mail, little did I know, they were as close as my back yard. The implant surgery went smoothly, Dr Jason and staff took the time to explain and care for my needs. Keeping me informed of every step including my appointment. My girlfriend is also coming here for dental work. I would recommend this place to anyone interested in having implant surgery or restorative dentistry.

Are Dental Implants Right For Me?
Patients looking to replace missing teeth need to meet certain criteria in order to qualify for dental implants. If gum disease or bone density are obstacles to qualification, our dentists offer treatments to restore your dental health and make you eligible for dental implants. Factors that can affect candidacy:
Jawbone Density
Dental implants rely on the surrounding bone tissue for support. For patients who have lost a significant amount of bone in their jaw, we can provide a dental bone graft to restore your candidacy.
Gum Health
If you have periodontal disease or another issue affecting the health of your gums, you will need to be treated before the implants are placed. Otherwise, they will likely fail.
Tobacco Use
Nicotine undermines your body's ability to heal. If you are a smoker, you will need to drop the habit for a period before surgery and while you heal. Ideally, you will quit altogether as smoking increases your chances of gum disease and implant failure.
General Health
Other health conditions, such as an autoimmune disease or diabetes, can interfere with healing. Though these problems will not necessarily make you ineligible, you should discuss them with your doctor at your initial consultation.
Dental Implant Treatment What to Expect
When compared to keeping bad teeth and paying repeatedly for temporary solutions, the cost of implants may be more affordable in the long run.

Avoid Serious Issues with Dental Implants More Reasons Why Implants Are Worth the Cost
Dental implants can be a significant investment, but when you consider the serious issues they can help you avoid, they could become one of the wisest decisions you ever make. Choosing to take advantage of this landmark dental solution means you can minimize your risk of:
Receding Jawbone
As you chew and speak, your tooth roots stimulate your jawbone and signal to the body to retain bone tissue. When you are missing teeth, this stimulation goes away, and your jaw begins to shrink.
Looking Aged Beyond Your Years
As your jawbone begins to recede and you lose more teeth, your skin may sag and your mouth may begin to pucker due to the lack of support these structures provide. This can make you look older than you are.
Misaligned Bite
When you have gaps in your smile from missing teeth, your teeth will correct the problem by shifting to account for the open socket. The compromise is that your bite will become misaligned and imbalanced.
Worn Teeth
With a misaligned bite, your teeth will not meet properly when you chew or speak. This imbalance will cause excessive wear in the areas where the upper and lower teeth meet.
Additional Tooth Loss
Gum disease is more likely to occur when an empty tooth socket is not filled, which can cause tooth decay and eventual tooth loss.
Is Cost an Obstacle?
If you are concerned about the cost of dental implants, let us know. We can discuss financing and create a plan that fits into your budget during your consultation. Customized financing plans are available to our patients based on their budgets and needs. These plans can help you break the cost of implants into manageable monthly payments.
