Why choose dental implants in Groton
Preserving jawbone health and facial structure
Implants are the only tooth replacement method to provide active stimulation to your jawbone, helping you to avoid bone reabsorption and unwanted changes to your facial appearance. Effectively, they replace your tooth root.
Strong, natural, and fully functional
Dental implants are made to look, behave, and be almost as strong as your natural teeth. Once they heal in place, your implants will allow you to eat all your favorite foods as normal.
Protecting healthy teeth
Unlike bridges and dentures, implants do not require the removal or alteration of surrounding healthy teeth. This makes them the only standalone tooth replacement solution that preserves the integrity of your natural smile.
Custom solutions for every smile
Whether you need a single tooth replacement or a full-arch restoration, our implant dentist can place any number of dental implants to restore your smile, in some cases replacing entire dental arches with just four strategically placed implants.
Long-term investment in your oral health
Dental implants are the longest-lasting form of tooth replacement with proper care, which also means they are the most cost-effective option over the long term.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are widely considered to be the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. The dental implant itself is a titanium rod that is surgically implemented into the jawbone. It is left to heal in place, fusing with the surrounding bone so that it can serve as a steady anchor for your replacement tooth.
After it heals in place, a connective piece called an abutment is employed. The final step in the dental restoration process is to visit your regular dentist, who will add the custom-tailored porcelain prosthesis.
Our dental implants center sets the standard for tooth restoration
Traditional tooth replacement options like bridges and dentures have their limitations, but a dental implant has redefined what’s possible. With superior durability, a natural look and feel, and the ability to preserve jawbone health, implants have become the gold standard for restoring missing teeth.
Our oral surgeons in Groton, doctors Tiffany Kuang and Ilya Garibyan, take implant dentistry a step further by using advanced 3D-guided technology for precise placement and custom restorations for a flawless finish. Our in-house lab customizes each restoration to complement your facial structure, delivering results that enhance both function and appearance.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
During your initial consultation, our dental implant specialist in Groton will evaluate your teeth and jaw, ask some questions about your medical history, and confirm your eligibility for a safe procedure.
Missing or failing teeth
Dental implants are ideal for patients who have one or more missing teeth or anticipate the need to have a tooth extracted. Replacing missing teeth promptly helps preserve jawbone health and prevents shifting of surrounding teeth.
Good overall health
Successful implant candidates should be in good health overall, without any conditions that would compromise their safety during surgery. Your oral surgeon will review your medical history to ensure a safe and smooth procedure.
Healthy gums & soft tissue
Implants rely on strong, disease-free gums to support long-term stability. If you have any untreated gum disease, we may recommend periodontal treatment before proceeding with implant placement.
Adequate bone density
Patients with sufficient bone density to support implants, or else qualify for options like bone grafting, Zygomatic or Pterygoid implants are ideal candidates for implant placement.
Replacing missing teeth is essential for oral health
Losing a tooth can have a serious impact on your overall oral health. When a gap is left unfilled, surrounding teeth begin to shift, altering your bite and potentially leading to misalignment or jaw discomfort. Additionally, without the stimulation of a tooth root, the jawbone starts to deteriorate over time, causing changes in facial structure and further dental complications. Dental implants serve the purpose of replacing missing teeth and helping to maintain bone density and your smile stable for years to come.
What is the dental implants procedure like?
Your initial consultation
The first step in your journey is to meet with Dr. Garibyan or Dr. Kuang. During your consultation, you will learn more about different treatment options, and you will have a chance to ask any questions you might have.
Preparing for implant surgery
In some cases, you may need preparatory procedures to prepare your mouth for surgery. These procedures may involve bone grafting and/or the extraction of unhealthy teeth that the dental implant will replace.
The placement procedure
On the day of your placement, local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, or IV sedation will be administered, ensuring your safety and comfort. We’ll carefully insert your implant into the jawbone and add a temporary replacement tooth to ensure a full smile.
Healing and recovery process
Recovery can take an average of four to five months, but tenderness and swelling usually subside after a week or so. You will gradually be able to shift from a liquid and soft food diet to more of your usual food choices.
Final restoration of your smile
After the implant has successfully healed, you will return to your doctor for the placement of the abutment and finally the porcelain replacement tooth. This completes your dental restoration journey.
