Dental Implants in Monroe, CT
Why Are Dental Implants the Preferred Treatment for Missing Teeth?
Traditional tooth replacement methods look like teeth, but they lack a crucial feature: tooth roots. This hidden part of your natural tooth stimulates the jawbone, preventing it from wasting away. Without stimulation, the jawbone recedes and more teeth can be lost.
A dental implant, which is a titanium post inserted into your jaw, is an artificial root that encourages bone growth and keeps your jaw strong. It also supports the natural-looking tooth restoration that fills the gap in your smile and gives you the strong bite that allows you to eat the food you enjoy.

When you are missing a single tooth, one implant will be placed to support a natural-looking artificial tooth,
replicating the original one from root to crown. Multiple implants can be used to support a denture.

Are You Missing a Single Tooth or Many? Dental Implants Support a Variety of Tooth Restorations
When you are missing a single tooth, one implant is all that you will need to support a single crown and restore your smile.
If you are missing several teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge fills the gap without needing to modify neighboring teeth.
Multiple implants can support a full arch denture and also prevent it from slipping and sliding around in your mouth.
Mini Dental Implants May Be an Option If You Lack Bone Density
One of the downsides of missing teeth is the accompanying loss of bone density in the jaw. Without enough bone, you may not be able to support a traditional dental implant. If this is the problem you face, there may be an alternative: mini dental implants.
Mini dental implants, which are made of titanium, are similar to traditional ones, just smaller. They are about the diameter of a toothpick, which makes them small enough to fit where a traditional implant can't. In addition to not requiring as much bone density, mini implants are less expensive and the procedure is less invasive, which makes recovery faster.
New Implant Material Offers
Hope for High-Risk Patients
In addition to titanium implants, we offer Trabecular Metal™ Dental Implants, which have been shown to speed up bone formation and healing.
In some cases, final restorations can be placed in as little as two weeks as compared to the months required with titanium implants.
Trabecular Metal Dental Implants are giving new hope to patients whose risk factors, such as diabetes or cancer treatments, have made them ineligible for conventional implants.
Trabecular implants may also be an option for people who have experienced implant failure with standard implants.
Professional, Caring Dentists 5-Star Reviews
Frank O'Brien

Professional and friendly. Hygienist Melissa was a real pro, concerned about my comfort, explained each part of her process and made sound suggestions for improving my dental health. Dr John Fatse also did an excellent job analyzing/diagnosing a new patient and communicating needed procedure. Much more comfortable when you are in the company of actual professionals.
