We are a specialized oral and maxillofacial surgical office managed by Bruce A. Huberman, DMD, specializing primarily in the placement of dental implants.

Welcome to The Center for Implant Surgery, managed and operated by Dr. Bruce A. Huberman, a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. He attended Clark University where he obtained a BA in Biology. He then attended UMDNJ Dental School followed by 1-year residency in Hospital Dentistry at Bellevue Hospital. This was followed by a 4-year residency in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at University Hospital in Newark (state trauma center) . Following this up with an AO Fellowship in Basel, Switzerland, performing advanced techniques in craniofacial and trauma surgery. Dr. Huberman's main focus is now replacing missing teeth through the process of implant surgery.

For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, implants are placed within your jawbone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums gradually bonding with the jawbone. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. At the same time, your dentist is forming new replacement teeth. After the implant has bonded to the jawbone, the second phase begins. Dr. Huberman will uncover the implants and attach small posts which will act as anchors for the artificial teeth. These posts protrude through the gums. When the artificial teeth are placed these posts will not be seen. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients experience minimal disruption in their daily life.

Our practice performs all forms of oral surgery, however the replacement of missing teeth using implants is our most common procedure. We look forward to treating you as a patient and our consultations for patients with missing teeth are always free.

Understanding why dental implants are the accepted modality in the US for replacing missing teeth and how despite having lost teeth you can still have a beautiful smile.

Dental implants are widely accepted as a preferred modality for replacing missing teeth in the United States and many other countries for several reasons:

Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth. They are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of the surrounding teeth, resulting in a natural and seamless smile. Implants also provide a stable foundation that allows for comfortable chewing and speaking, enhancing the overall quality of life.

Durability and Longevity: Dental implants are made from biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This integration provides exceptional stability and durability, making implants a long-lasting solution. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can often last a lifetime, unlike other tooth replacement options that may require replacement or repair over time.

Preservation of Jawbone and Facial Structure: When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone may start to deteriorate over time due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants replace the root of the missing tooth and provide the necessary stimulation to the jawbone, helping to preserve its volume and density. This contributes to maintaining the natural shape of the jawbone and facial structure.

Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional tooth-supported bridges, which require adjacent teeth to be modified or trimmed down for support, dental implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. This preservation of adjacent teeth allows for better long-term oral health. Additionally, individual implants are easier to clean and maintain, promoting better oral hygiene and reducing the risk of dental issues in the future.

Restored Function and Speech: Dental implants provide stable and secure support for replacement teeth, allowing individuals to regain full functionality. With implants, chewing, biting, and speaking can be performed with confidence and without discomfort or concern about the prosthesis shifting or slipping.

Versatility and Adaptability: Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or even an entire arch of teeth. They can be combined with various prosthetic options, including crowns, bridges, or dentures, providing flexibility to address different degrees of tooth loss and patient needs. It's important to note that the suitability of dental implants as a tooth replacement option depends on individual factors such as oral health, bone density, and overall health. A comprehensive evaluation by a dental professional is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient.
