Cheap dental implants in Southington, CT

Dental implants come in three major types: single, multiple, and full mouth. Single dental implants are used to replace one lost or damaged tooth with a metal post that is inserted into the jawbone. Multiple dental implants replace multiple teeth with several posts that act as an anchor for replacement teeth such as bridges and dentures. Lastly, full mouth implantation involves using several individual posts unified by a bridge structure which can support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth in order to restore all of the patient’s lower or upper set of teeth at once.

Dental implants come with a high price tag primarily due to the complex surgical procedure, skilled professionals, and high-quality materials involved. The process requires a dentist or oral surgeon to insert a titanium post into the jawbone, which fuses with the bone over time, providing a strong foundation for the artificial tooth. Additionally, custom-made crowns add to the expense, as they need to be designed to match the patient's natural teeth. Lastly, dental insurance often doesn't cover the full cost, which can make implants seem more expensive.

In addition, we accept various insurance plans and work closely with providers to maximize your benefits.

Dental implant procedures can be uncomfortable during the treatment, but most patients report minimal to no pain afterward. Local anesthetic numbs the area and sedatives may be used to relax you, so any discomfort should subside shortly after insertion is complete. After placement of a dental implant in the jawbone, some soreness or swelling may occur that lasts for a few days; however, medications are available to manage these symptoms.

Dental implants aren't the only solution for replacing missing teeth. Dentures, bridges and crowns are also available; they involve using artificial replacements which are affixed to existing teeth or gums with materials such as metal, plastic or ceramic. Partial dentures can replace one or more missing teeth, while complete dentures replace a full set of top and/or bottom natural teeth. Bridges connect adjacent healthy natural teeth with an artificial tooth in the middle, while crowns encase a portion of a damaged tooth in an artificial material.
