Hi my name is Rebekah but my patients know me as Becky. I am an assistant at Designing smiles dental. I joined the Designing Smiles team after finishing my internship in 2014. When I first joined the team everyone was so welcoming, I felt at home on my first day. The atmosphere was very different from many offices that I've been to. I try to make it fun for my patients who are afraid of getting treatment done, also to make them comfortable as possible.

Part of my duties of being an assistant is not only to make sure my patients are calm before the doctor comes in the room, but to sterilize the instruments and disinfect the rooms after each patient. Our patients health is important to us and it is my duty as an assistant to maintain a good, safe and positive environment for them.

Whether you are missing one tooth, several teeth, or an entire dental arch, dental implants can restore your smile and your oral health. Our Hackensack, NJ, dental team can discuss all of your treatment options in detail so you can be well-informed throughout the process.

Dr. Mamah is committed to improving our patients' quality of life and self-esteem through dentistry. As an expert in her field, she has gained recognition as a winner of New Jersey's Top Dentists in 2017 and Open Care Patients' Choice in 2016.

In addition to cost concerns, many patients are anxious about the pain or discomfort associated with dental implant treatment. To make your care as painless and anxiety-free as possible,Dr. Mamah offers varioussedation options.

To be considered for dental implants, patients must have healthy teeth and gums. The presence of tooth decay, gum disease, damaged tooth roots, or other issues can impede the success of treatment. These issues should be treated prior to dental implant placement.

Individuals must have a strong, healthy jawbone to accommodate dental implants. If you have sustained bone loss or jawbone atrophy, then a bone grafting procedure or sinus lift may be necessary to prepare the jaw for implant surgery.

Dental implants do not require a significant amount of extra maintenance. However, proper brushing, daily flossing, regular dental exams, and professional cleanings are all necessaryto keep your implants in good condition for many years to come.

Based on your bone density and individual needs, we will choose between different brands of implants. We only use implants from well-established companies in the United States so that each patient benefits fromhigh-quality materials and long-lasting results.

The day of your dental implant surgery, local anesthesia is administered to numb the area. A small incision is then created in the gums to access the jawbone. Your dentist strategically places the titanium implants and closes the incision with sutures.

In most cases, dental implants need to heal for three to six months before the final restoration can be added. If you qualify for Teeth in a Day, you can receive your implants and your restoration during the same visit.

After the jawbone tissue has successfully fused to the implant, your dentist will attach a small connector known as an abutment. The abutment extends slightly beyond the gum line, serving as an anchor for your new crown, bridge, or denture. This may require a small surgical procedure.

Finally, your restoration is added. This may be accomplished with screw retention or with dental cement. After this step is complete, you will be able to brush, floss, and eat with your implant-supported restoration just like you would your natural teeth.

Following dental implant placement, patients can expect some degree of bleeding, swelling, and discomfort. Fortunately, these side effects can be mitigated by following all recommended postoperative guidelines provided by your Hackensack, NJ, dentist.

While most individuals are comfortable within a few days after their dental implant surgery, full recovery takes longer. Every individual is unique and heals at a different rate. On average, implant treatment takes about three to six months from start to finish.

I have been a patient for a few.years now. Dr. Mamah and the staff are excellent. They understand that going to the dentist is stressful and do their best to address your concerns and make you feel comfortable. The dental work itself is top notch. Their new offices are beautiful and spotlessly clean and sanitized. I am glad to recommend this practice.

I must say, God bless you Dr. Mamah. Thank you for responding to my emergency situation so soon even in the midst of the storm that were all in. This was my first visit and my experience was awesome. I feel like I should be in so much pain especially with the work you performed today, but I must say, No pain at all. Thats amazing thank you thank you thank you!!!!

All-on-4 is an innovative dental implant placement technique developed by the company Nobel Biocare. It involvesfour implants (strong titanium posts) that are surgically placed into your jawbone to act as artificial roots. At our Hackensack, NJ, dental practice, All-on-4 is a popular dental implant treatment option because it allows patients to receive teeth in one day. Immediately after surgery, patients receive a temporary denture that is attached to their implants, immediately improving their smile and dental function.

While traditional implants use one implant per missing tooth, All-on-4 only uses four implants to replace a full arch of teeth. The implants are placed at a strategic angle, making the most of your existing jawbone and eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures.

Missing teeth cause jawbone shrinkage, so bone grafts may be needed to support traditional implants. All-on-4 uses your remaining healthy jawbone, so expensive bone grafting surgery may not be needed.

Your temporary prosthetic teeth will look, feel, and function much better than traditional removable dentures. Dentures cost less, but dentures have a nasty habit of slipping or falling out at awkward times.

I'm so happy that I found Designing Smiles! I have been traumatized by dentists in the past, and have had a difficult time finding a dentist that listens, takes their time, explains the process and gives options. I am more than happy with Dr Mamah. I'm waiting for my implant to heal now, but I know I have the support of Dr Mamah and her team during this process!

Im new to the Northern New Jersey area and was interested in acquiring a Black Dentist. I searched around and saw the reviews about Dr. Mamah and her staff...Long story short, I am VERY pleased with the hospitality, professionalism, and dental work that I received here at Designing Smiles! Thank you Dr. Mamah and your team for completing my smile!

Dr. Mamah will create a pre-op plan for dental implant placement using the newest 3-D bone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology. She'll confirm that your jaw bone is healthy enough for treatment, map out the position of your implants, and create a custom surgical guide. This makes surgery faster and more precise, causing less trauma and discomfort for you.

On the day of your implant surgery, you will receive a local anesthetic or sedation, if requested, to keep you comfortable. Dr. Mamah has extensive training in both implant dentistry andsedation dentistry. Once you are comfortable, she will create the necessary incisions in your gum and use your custom surgical guide to place four dental implants into your jawbone.

After the surgery, Dr. Mamah will place a set of high-quality, natural-looking temporary dentures on your newly placed implants. These temporary dentures will allow you to eat and speak normally during the healing process.

Dr. Mamah has received extensive post-doctoral training in sedation and is a Fellow of the Dental Organization for Oral Conscious Sedation. She provides safe, calming sedation so you can get your dental treatments done comfortably and painlessly. Our sedation options include:

Dr. Mamah administers this calming gas, also called laughing gas, through a mask. You'll be awake but very relaxed and comfortable during your procedure. The gas wears off quickly and you can drive yourself home.

I just recently visited the office for dental work referred by a friend and have nothing but praise for the professionalism of the staff. I've never had such an experience going to visit the dentist they make sure that you're comfortable. I will definitely refer a friend or a family member! Kudos to all!

Most likely, but the prosthetic teeth that Dr. Mamah attaches to your All-on-4 implants are worth every dollar, as they will look and function better than removable dentures. These types of dentures may cost less, but many patients dislike dentures that can fall out.

All-on-4 dental implants with attached dentures can give you better biting forcethan dentures kept in place by adhesives. So enjoy those crunchy fruits and veggies without fear of your dentures coming loose.
