Are you considering dental implants?


Dr. Injung Ivy Hwang

 
Dental implants are the best option of all to replace your missing teeth, and they are the only option to provide you the function of natural teeth without damaging your other teeth.


For the best result with the minimal discomfort possible, every dental implant treatment needs a thorough diagnosis and proper treatment plan prior to start. At the Laser Dental Group, we have a team of doctors with extensive training and experience to give you the honest answers to your questions regarding your needed treatment for missing teeth.



3 Myths About Dental Implants

Implants Are New 

Dental implants have been around since early 1980, and they have been showing over 98% success rate on average.

Implants Are Painful

Dental phobia is not uncommon, but properly planned and handled dental implant treatment is as easy as getting a tooth filled.  Per my actual patient’s quote, “I didn’t feel anything during or after. It was so easy”

Implants Are So Expensive 

They are expensive – Subjective opinion, but more dental insurances are covering dental implant treatment, so they may not be so expensive for you. Alternative options to implants include bridges, dentures, and leaving the space open which can damage your remaining healthy teeth in the long term, thus costing you more to replace more teeth in the future. And that is why more dental insurances are covering dental implant treatment.



Dr. Injung Ivy Hwang is a current fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantology and finished the most comprehensive Implantology training in the nation for both Surgical and Prosthetic at the NYU Linhart clinic for 2 years where she also served as a clinic associate for additional 1 year after her training.

5 Ways to Maximize Your Dental Benefits Plan

Image
With terms like PPO, HMO, in-network, and out-of-network to describe dental benefits, it's no surprise that many don't understand how to make the most of their plan. This means you may be overlooking benefits that are critical to maintaining your oral health. Don't settle for just what you understand as part of your coverage. Read on for 5 simple tips to take advantage of everything your plan has to offer. Tip #1: Take Time to Understand Your Plan The best way to take advantage of your plan is to ensure you know the type of plan it is and its deductibles, copayments and annual maximums. There are two main types of dental plans: HMO Plans - with an HMO, you'll be required to choose a dentist in your primary network to handle most of your needs.

WE CAN’T BE CLOSED MOUTH ABOUT THIS ANY LONGER . . .

The New Westfield Office under construction. New treatments, new technology -- there is always something new to ‘brush up’ on if a dentist is going to give his patients the excellence that they deserve. The Laser Dental Group dental professionals are always on top of the latest technology by attendance at many conferences and seminars in order to better serve their patients.   Apparently that knowledge has paid off with more and more people choosing The Laser Dental Group for their dental care needs. When we opened our first practice in Union, NJ at 1205 Coolidge Avenue in 1987 and then another office at 581 Westfield Avenue, Westfield in 2011 we were seeing an average number of patients per year.  I am grateful to our loyal patients for their ‘word of mouth’ marketing efforts! By reason of our many new patients and our wanting our old and new ‘family’ to feel comfortable, we are almost near completion of a brand new facility located at 301 Lenox Avenue in Westfield, NJ.
