Experience Innovative Surgical Techniques at the NJ Center for Oral Surgery

Staying at the forefront of technology and surgical advancements is a top priority for the NJ Center for Oral Surgery in Caldwell and Florham Park, NJ. New Jersey oral and maxillofacial surgeons Drs. Jacobs, Kirsch and Levin are committed to providing the highest quality care using the most innovative and proven techniques. Techniques like 3D CAT scans and guided dental implant placement help patients achieve their smile goals with ease.

With a highly experienced surgical team, we’re uniquely qualified to handle even the most complex cases. Call our Caldwell office at 973-226-8444 and our Florham Park office at 973-261-8444 to schedule your appointment with our experienced New Jersey oral and maxillofacial surgeons. 

Immediate Implant Placement

Do you need a tooth out? You won’t have to wait long for a new one! Thanks to recent advancements in dental implant technology, Drs. Kirsch, Jacobs, and Levin can place immediate implants right after tooth extraction.

With older methods, you’d need to:

1. Have the tooth removed.
2. Let the area heal for several months.
3. Come back for implant surgery.
4. Then heal more before getting your new tooth.

But now, patients can skip those extra appointments. Since the implant is placed on the same day as the extraction, we can avoid extra procedures and office trips when restoring your smile at NJCOS.

3D Modeling for Precision

Another new technique called virtual surgery planning makes implant surgery even smoother. 

1. First, you’ll get a special 3D X-ray scan at the office, which is uploaded  to a computer program.
2. The software creates a model of your jawbone onscreen. Then, the surgeons can “practice” your procedure on the model before your real surgery.
3. This virtual preview improves accuracy and predictability. It helps avoid surprises during the actual implant placement.

Virtual planning helps our surgeons throughout complex cases. It’s ideal when you need implants plus bone grafts to rebuild your jaw.

Platelet-Rich Plasma/Fibrin

At the NJ Center for Oral Surgery, our oral surgeons harness the remarkable regenerative capabilities of the body’s own growth factors to enhance healing and improve surgical outcomes. This is achieved by using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments.

PRF and PRP are biomaterials derived from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. The blood is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors that promote tissue regeneration. This powerful, all-natural concentrate is then applied during surgery.

When used with certain procedures like bone grafting, sinus lifts, gum reconstruction, or implant placement, PRF and PRP can:

• Accelerate healing and bone/tissue growth
• Reduce inflammation and pain
• Minimize bleeding and need for narcotic pain medication
• Increase implant stability and fusion with bone
