Permanent tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth — from Dr. Youstina Mantias, DDS at Trinity Dental Services.
Explore all the advantages when you visit Dr. Youstina Mantias in East Brunswick, NJ.
Attached to our natural teeth, we have roots. These roots keep each tooth in place and stimulate the bone tissue to keep the jaw strong. Only one type of dental treatment can replace lost roots: implants.
Dental implants are titanium screws placed securely in your jawbone by our qualified dentists. Once the area has healed, implants secure your custom restoration, like a denture or dental bridge.
If you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or struggling with dentures that slip, dental implants are the closest thing modern dentistry offers to growing a new tooth. At Trinity Dental Services, located at 63 W Prospect St #1 in East Brunswick, Dr. Youstina Mantias provides complete dental implant care — from your first 3D evaluation through your final custom crown — all under one roof, minutes from Route 18.
Unlike bridges and dentures, a dental implant replaces the root of your missing tooth, not just the visible crown. A biocompatible titanium post fuses with your jawbone, creating a foundation strong enough to bite into an apple, stable enough to speak with confidence, and — critically — the only tooth replacement that stops the jawbone loss that begins the moment a tooth goes missing.
Dr. Mantias has been placing and restoring dental implants in East Brunswick since 2020. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the New York University College of Dentistry, graduating with honors in Endodontics, and has completed many hours of continuing education in implant dentistry.

One implant post, one abutment, one custom-shaded porcelain crown. Your neighboring healthy teeth stay untouched — no grinding down adjacent teeth as a traditional bridge requires. The result is indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
Missing several teeth in a row? Two implants can anchor a bridge spanning three or more teeth, restoring your bite without relying on natural teeth for support. Comparing your options? See our guide to dental bridges in East Brunswick to understand when a traditional bridge may still make sense.
If you’re missing most or all teeth in an arch — or facing that reality soon — as few as four implants can support a complete, non-removable set of new teeth. No adhesives, no slipping, no covering the roof of your mouth. Learn about the full process, timeline, and candidacy on our dedicated All-on-4 dental implants page.
Already wearing dentures? Two to four implants can snap your denture securely into place, ending the slipping, sore spots, and dietary limits of conventional dentures — often at a lower cost than a full fixed arch.
- 3D Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) imaging — captures the exact position of nerves, sinuses, and bone density before surgery
- Digital impressions — replaces messy traditional molds with comfortable scans
- Surgical guides — custom 3D-printed guides ensure implants are placed in the exact planned position
- Implant systems we use: We restore with trusted, clinically proven implant systems backed by decades of research, so your implant is supported by a manufacturer warranty and replacement parts will be available for the life of your restoration. These are the same FDA-cleared systems used at major dental schools and research hospitals.
Choosing a well-established implant brand matters because parts (abutments, crowns, replacement components) remain available decades after placement. We never use unbranded or “generic” implants.
Some patients only need a few consecutive teeth replaced. Thanks to bridges, you can regain the smile you’ve lost.
While you’ve already learned about jawbone stimulation, bridges with dental implants are superior to traditional bridges in another way. Unlike traditional bridges, our dentists don’t need to alter your surrounding natural teeth to secure your restoration.
Still not sure if dental implants are right for you? During your initial consultation at our office in East Brunswick, NJ, we will discuss your goals and your dentist will examine your mouth to determine if dental implants are right for you. We will walk you through every step of the process to help you make an informed decision about your smile, oral health, and quality of life.

We pride ourselves in creating a comfortable environment. Our team will ensure that your implant, abutment, and restoration placements are pain-free with dental anesthesia. We also have noise-canceling headphones, televisions, and music to keep you feeling at ease.
It is normal to experience some mild discomfort in the first few days following your implant surgery. Most patients can manage this pain well with over-the-counter pain medications. Take these and any medications prescribed by your dentist as directed.
No. Dr. Mantias will thoroughly numb the area and ensure you are completely comfortable before she begins your treatment. If at any point you feel any discomfort, please let your dental team know so they can make adjustments.
Dental implants are made of durable titanium and are designed to last a lifetime, making them an excellent investment in your oral health. However, your denture, dental crown, or dental bridge will wear over time and eventually need to be replaced. Restorations that are properly cared for and maintained can last for up to 15 years or more.

Yes. Dental implants have been used for over 50 years and are one of the most studied procedures in dentistry, with long-term success rates above 95%. The titanium post is biocompatible, meaning your body accepts it and bone grows around it rather than rejecting it. Dr. Mantias reviews your medical history and jawbone health first to confirm implants are a safe choice for you.
In many cases, yes. When there is enough healthy jawbone at the extraction site, the implant post can be placed in the same visit as the extraction, saving you a separate surgery and months of healing time. Whether same-day placement is right for you depends on your bone and the condition of the tooth being removed, which we evaluate at your consultation.
Often, yes. Well-controlled diabetes, treated gum disease, and many common health conditions do not rule out implants; they simply require planning. Dr. Mantias reviews your full medical history and, when needed, coordinates with your physician so treatment proceeds safely. The only way to know for certain is an evaluation.
An implant replaces the tooth root and stands on its own, while a bridge relies on the neighboring teeth for support. Implants preserve jawbone and typically last longer; bridges can be finished faster and involve no surgery. The right choice depends on your bone, your adjacent teeth, and your budget. We compare both options with you at your consultation.
No, there is no upper age limit for dental implants. Healthy patients in their 70s, 80s, and beyond receive implants successfully every day. What matters is your overall health and jawbone, not your age. Older adults often benefit most, since implants end the diet restrictions and slipping that come with dentures.
