    Dental Implants in Bristol, CT

    Modern Dentistry of New England actively works with Bristol, CT patients to see if they are a good fit for dental implants. Dental implants are as close as we can get to replicated teeth. Dental implants are usually recommended for people who have one or more missing teeth, but who also have sufficient bone in their jaw to support the implants. Since implants put pressure on the bone, people with osteoporosis or other conditions that weaken the bones may not be suitable candidates. Other factors such as gum disease, diabetes, and cancer can impede healing. The best way to find out if dental implants are right for you is to schedule an appointment at our Bristol, CT office.

    The Benefits of Dental Implants

    Bristol, CT patients benefit from realistic, yet durable implants that look and feel like your own teeth. They are a better option than dentures, which tend to slip out of your mouth from time to time. While implants improve your overall speech because of their enhanced security, they can also last a lifetime with proper oral care. Plus, implants are convenient — where you can still eat your favorite foods, brush, and floss just like your normal teeth. After your examination at our Bristol, CT office, we can determine if dental implants and all of their benefits would be a good fit for your lifestyle.

    Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

    A good candidate for dental implants is someone who has good oral health, enough bone to support the implant, and healthy gum tissue. Additionally, a good candidate for dental implants should be committed to maintaining their oral health.

    How Many Dental Implants Can You Get At One Time?

    Just like anything else, there is a limit to how many dental implants you can get at one time. The number of implants that can be placed in the jawbone at once depends on the size and density of the bone, as well as the overall health of the patient. In general, however, most patients can safely have up to four implants placed in their jaw at one time. If you need more than four implants, your dentist may recommend that you wait for the first implants to heal before having additional implants placed. This will help ensure that your jawbone is strong enough to support the additional weight of the implants. There are also different types of dental implants that involve placing more implants at one time, including multiple teeth replacements.

    Are Dental Implants Noticeable?

    One of the main concerns people have about dental implants is whether or not they are noticeable. The short answer is that in most cases, dental implants are not noticeable. However, there are a few factors that can affect how visible your dental implants are. These include:

    Location of the dental implants. If you have dental implants in your front teeth, they will be more visible than if they are in your back teeth.

    Type of dental implant. There are two types of dental implants: endosteal and subperiosteal. Endosteal implants are embedded in the bone, while subperiosteal implants are placed on top of the bone. Subperiosteal implants are less visible than endosteal implants because they are not as close to the surface of the teeth.

    Color of your dental implants. Dental implants come in a variety of colors, so you can choose an implant that matches the color of your natural teeth. This way, your dental implants will be less noticeable.

    Size of your dental implants. Dental implants are available in a variety of sizes. If you have small teeth, you may want to consider getting small dental implants. On the other hand, if you have large teeth, you may want to get larger dental implants.

    Shape of your dental implants. Dental implants come in a variety of shapes, so you can choose an implant that fits the shape of your natural teeth. This will help your dental implants to be less noticeable.

    How Many Appointments Does It Take To Place Dental Implants?

    It depends on the number of implants being placed as well as the type of procedure being performed. Generally, it takes two to four appointments to place dental implants. The first appointment is for consultation and planning, the second appointment is for placement of the implant(s), and the third and fourth appointments are for follow-up visits and final crown placement.

    How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Connecticut?

    The cost of dental implants in Connecticut can vary depending on a number of factors, including the type of implant you choose, the number of implants you need, and the complexity of your case. However, in general, dental implants can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 per tooth. Additionally, you may also need to pay for the cost of the implant surgery, which can range from $500 to $1,500. Overall, the total cost of dental implants can range from $4,000 to $13,000.

    The Dental Implant Process

    1. Consultation

    During your initial consultation, we will assess your mouth to make sure that dental implants are the best option for you. We will also answer any questions or concerns that you may have about the procedure.

    2. Surgery

    On the day of your surgery, we will place the titanium implants into your jawbone. This is a minimally invasive procedure that is typically done under local anesthesia to ensure safety and comfort. 

    3. Healing Time

    After your surgery, you will need to allow time for your mouth to heal. This usually takes 4-6 weeks. During this time, the dental implants will fuse to your jawbone and become functioning teeth replacements.

    4. Attachment of Teeth

    Once your mouth has healed, we will attach your new teeth to the implants. This usually takes one or two visits. And that's it! You'll have your brand new teeth that look and function just like your old ones.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Can I get dental implants if i grind my teeth?

      Yes, you can get dental implants even if you grind your teeth. However, it is important to consult with your dentist or implant surgeon to discuss whether this is the best option for you. There are a few things that need to be taken into consideration, such as the overall health of your teeth and gums and the condition of your jawbone. Additionally, the type of implant and the placement of the implant will also be factors that need to be considered.

    • Can you use Crest whitening strips with dental implants?

      Yes, you can use Crest whitening strips with dental implants. Even though the strips are safe to use on natural teeth, you should still consult with your dentist or implant surgeon to ensure that they will not damage the implants. Additionally, it is important to follow the directions on the Crest whitening strips package in order to avoid any potential damage to your implants.

    • Do they sedate you for dental implants?

      The answer to this question will depend on the individual case. In some instances, local anesthesia may be all that is necessary. However, in other cases, sedation may be recommended or even required. This will be determined by your dentist or implant surgeon based on a variety of factors, such as the extent of the procedure, your medical history, and your level of anxiety.

    • Do dental implants stain?

      No, dental implants will not get stained. This is because the implant itself is made of titanium, which is a non-porous material. However, it is important to note that the dental crowns or bridges that are placed on top of the implants can stain over time. This is why it is important to practice good oral hygiene habits and to visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups.

    • Can you get cavities with dental implants?

      No, you cannot get cavities with dental implants.

    • Can dental implants be whitened?

      Yes, dental implants can be whitened. However, it is important to consult with your dentist or implant surgeon to ensure that this is the best option for you. Additionally, it is important to follow the directions on the whitening product in order to avoid any potential damage to your implants.

    • Do dental implants affect speech?

      No, dental implants will not affect your speech. In fact, many people find that their speech improves after getting dental implants because they no longer have to worry about their teeth shifting or slipping out of place.

    • Are dental implants orthodontics?

      No, dental implants are not orthodontics. Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the correction of teeth and jaws that are misaligned. Dental implants, on the other hand, are artificial replacement roots that are placed into the jawbone to support artificial teeth.
