What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as a sturdy anchor for a prosthetic tooth, bridge, or denture. Unlike traditional dentures, implants not only restore the appearance of your smile but also maintain the integrity of your jawbone and improve oral functionality. At Stonington and Frenchtown Dental Associates, we use advanced technology to ensure a comfortable and effective implant procedure.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Long-lasting and Durable: Dental implants are designed to last for decades with proper care, making them a reliable, long-term solution for missing teeth.
- Improved Functionality: Implants restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak with ease, just like your natural teeth.
- Enhanced Appearance: Dental implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a confident and natural-looking smile.
- Preserve Jawbone Health: Unlike other solutions, implants stimulate and maintain bone growth, preventing jawbone deterioration over time.
- Boosted Confidence: Regain the ability to smile, eat, and interact socially without worry, improving your overall self-esteem.

Types of Dental Implants
Implant Supported Bridges

Implant Supported Dentures

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with missing teeth and healthy gums are great candidates for dental implants. Adequate jawbone density is important for supporting the implant, but bone grafting procedures are available if additional support is needed. If you're ready to restore your smile, a consultation with our team will determine if implants are the right choice for you.
