Restore Your Smile With Dental Implants
The best way to replace missing teeth.
Dental implants are the best solution for permanently replacing missing teeth. To achieve a perfect smile, titanium implants are inserted and secured into the jawbone, becoming the durable foundation for custom-crafted porcelain crowns. While other restorative treatments are available, no other procedures will look, feel, or function more like your natural teeth. Dental implants from Dr. Nosti can allow you to be fully confident again while eating, speaking, and smiling for those treasured family photos!
Each dental implant is made up of three parts. The post is made of lightweight and extremely durable titanium. The abutment connects the implant to the upper crown, which will blend naturally with your surrounding teeth.

The Dental Implant Process
Achieving your dream smile can be done at our Mays Landing office, where you can schedule a visit with Dr. Nosti where he’ll create your customized dental implant treatment plan.
First Consultation
During your first consultation, Dr. Nosti will examine your oral health to determine which treatment option is right for you. If you’re an ideal candidate for dental implants, we’ll proceed with the next steps of scheduling and conducting your procedure.
Implant Process
Once we’ve determined that dental implants are right for you, you’ll return to our Mays Landing office to begin the implant process. Dr. Nosti will first administer a local anesthetic to ensure you won’t feel a thing during treatment. Once the mouth is numb, he’ll surgically place your dental implants directly into your jaw, protecting the area with a healing cap during the recovery process.
Through a process called osseointegration, the implant will naturally fuse with your jawbone, which takes three to six months to complete. The titanium post mimics the tooth’s root and will eventually hold your customized crown in place.
Second Visit
Once the area has healed, you’ll return to our Mays Landing office so Dr. Nosti can place an abutment to connect the fixture to the restoration. Finally, he’ll attach your custom-made porcelain crown on top of the abutment piece to make your dream smile a reality.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are dental implants safe?
Dental implants are safe and offer a variety of unique benefits that other restorative treatments can’t beat. Implants are effective in stimulating your jawbone to maintain its density and prevent the rest of your natural teeth from shifting. In fact, the treatment itself boasts a 98 percent success rate, as long as the procedure is performed by an experienced and qualified implant dentist like Dr. Nosti.
-
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last a lifetime since they’re directly attached to your jawbone. While your crowns will need to eventually be replaced after due to normal wear and tear, proper oral health care can extend their use to 10 to 25 years. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily. It’s also important to schedule bi-annual dental check-ups with your dentist at our Mays Landing, NJ office so that they can help maintain your teeth.
-
Does the dental implant process hurt?
Inserting your dental implants doesn’t hurt since your dentist will numb your mouth with a local anesthetic. During your initial consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to express any of your concerns as well as choose your option of sedation if you have dental anxiety. During your procedure, our staff will monitor you and your vitals to make sure you’re safe and comfortable.
-
How do I care for my dental implants?
Dental implants can be maintained just like natural teeth, which means brushing them at least twice a day and flossing daily. To avoid scratching your implant, we recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and nylon floss while avoiding any toothpaste that contains abrasive ingredients. Dr. Nosti will be happy to offer consultation if you’re unsure about what oral care products you’re using as well as provide you with aftercare instructions.
