Missing teeth can weaken your jawbone, causing shrinkage ofbone and tissue. This gives your face a sunken, aged appearance. Dr. Bidramay recommend implants to keep your jaw strong, replace missing teeth, and help your face lookfuller, more youthful, and healthier.

Missing teeth can cause lisping and garbled speech because the open spaces affect how your tongue works to create certain sounds. Implants, along with attached dentures, can help you pronounce words more clearly.

When your smile is affected by a damaged tooth or several missing teeth, it canbe difficult to talk or laugh in public.A bright healthy smile can restore self-confidence, which may help you achieve your personal and business goals.

Dr. Bidrarecommends dental implantsas a first choice for replacing missing teeth or for failed root canal treatments to his patients in the Glastonbury, CT, area because dental implants arean excellentlong-term investment for your dental and oral health.The higher upfront cost is offset by reduced maintenance needs in the long term compared to other modalities. Traditional bridges, partials or dentures cost less, but they don't prevent bone shrinkage and teeth shifting. Dentalimplants can provide a firm anchorage for your teeth that dentures or bridges cannot.This can eliminate costly treatments like bone grafts if a bridge or denture needs replacing later.

Dr. Bidra offers All-on-4 dental implants to qualifying patients at our practice in Glastonbury, CT. With the All-on-4 method, Dr. Bidra can attach a full denture to only four dental implants. With the All-on-4 approach, the implants are placed at a precise angle that doesn't require as much healthy bone tissue, so preparatory bone grafting is required less often.

Best of all, the All-on-4 denture can be placed immediately after the implant surgery. You can enter our Glastonbury dental office with no healthy teeth, and then leave with a natural-looking smile a few hours later.

The goal of minor bone augmentation is to improve jawbone density for the placement of dental implants. In this video, Dr. Avinash S. Bidra summarizes the case of a young man with implant-supported crowns. The results were satisfactory.

A dental implant itself is not a tooth, butis a simple titanium post anchored in your jawbone that can support a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth in your mouth. It typically takes threeto fourmonths for your body to heal around the implant and then another twomonths to complete the installation of prosthetic teeth to the implantto complete this smile-restoring, life-changing treatment. But it's totally worth the time and financial investment to get your oral health, smile, and self-confidence back.

When all teeth are lost or about to be replaced in the mouth, typically the All-on-4 treatment is used which allows installation of the teeth the very same day as all the implants can be connected together for a solid prosthesis during the healing phase.

Before the procedure, a numbing anesthetic will be injected into the surgical area so you feel comfortable and pain-free. We are proud to offer sedation dentistry to patients who prefer to be in a sleepy but conscious state during the surgery. This is administered through an IV by a skilled, highly experienced dental anesthesiologist.

Small, surgical incisions are made in your gums through which the implants are anchored into your jaw. These are the titanium tooth roots that will eventually support your prosthetic tooth or teeth. A healing period of three to four months is required for the implants to fuse to your jawbone before the next procedure can be scheduled.

A device called an abutment is secured to the titanium posts. It serves as a connector between the post and the prosthetic tooth it will support. Because the implants must be accessed to attach the abutment, small incisions will again be made in your gums. After oneor two weeks of healing, the final part of the procedure can be scheduled.

Good news! Over a few visits, Dr. Bidra can now attach your final dentures, bridges, or crowns to the abutments. These artificial teeth have been customized just for you, so they'll look and work like your own natural teeth. Being unable to smile, talk, or eat properly should soon be a thing of the past.

It is a well-known fact that dental implant treatment has higher upfront costs ranging in a few thousand dollars. However, what is not well known to patients is that the cost of dental implants depends on several factors, including the quality of dental implants, the number of implants you receive, the type of restorations placed, and any preliminary treatments performed.

Unfortunately, most insurance plans don't cover dental implants as they're considered cosmetic dentistry. That's why our team works closely with CareCredit, a popular third-party financing program.
