Results That Last a Lifetime
With proper care, dental implants can last decades. They preserve the surrounding bone, prevent shifting of adjacent teeth, and restore the confidence to eat, speak, and smile freely.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are the modern standard for replacing missing teeth. Placed directly into the jawbone, they support crowns, bridges, or full arches that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. At Pequannock Valley Dental Associates, Dr. Brian Marino has completed advanced surgical and prosthetic implant training to deliver reliable, long-lasting results.
How Dental Implants Work
A titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone where the missing tooth root once was. Over the following months, the bone fuses to the implant in a process called osseointegration. A custom-designed crown is then attached, completing the restoration.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Implants restore full chewing function, prevent bone loss, protect neighboring teeth, and never require the daily removal or adhesives associated with dentures. Cosmetically, they are indistinguishable from natural teeth.
All-on-4 and Full-Arch Solutions
For patients missing multiple teeth or an entire arch, as few as four strategically placed implants can support a complete set of fixed teeth. Learn more on our All-on-X page.
Care and Recovery
Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two of implant placement. We provide detailed home-care instructions and follow up throughout healing to ensure optimal integration.
Failed Implants
In rare cases, an implant may fail due to infection, insufficient bone, or systemic factors. We evaluate every failed implant carefully, address the underlying cause, and design a treatment plan to restore your smile.
