Rebuild Your Smile with Dental Implants

dental implantsDental implants offer excellent oral function, better smile appearance, and bone-strengthening properties. In other words, they give people who have lost one or more teeth real hope for great dental health. At Comprehensive Dental Group in Stamford, CT, your implant dentists, Dr. Irina Pogosian and Dr. Thomas Ohlson, skillfully place these artificial teeth to let their patients smile again!

Why choose a dental implant?

Simply put, it's the best tooth replacement that modern dentistry offers. The International Congress of Oral Implantologists says that implant evaluation and placement combines science and art, rendering new teeth that bite, look, and feel just like natural dentition.

Through decades of scientific research, dentists discovered and then applied something called osseointegration. Through this bonding process, human bone wraps around a titanium implant, securing it and rebuilding the jaw in width, height, and density. The more the patient uses the dental implant, the more the bone improves—an amazing boon by way of appearance, self-esteem, speech, and oral function. No other tooth replacement comes close!

The procedure

A prospective implant patient may expect a thorough examination at our Stamford office. If the dentist determines that a person is healthy and has sufficient bone in the alveolar ridge to accept an implant, the treatment goes forward. Local anesthesia suffices for this oral surgery which happens in its entirety at Comprehensive Dental Group.

After implant insertion, healing and osseointegration take several weeks to months. When Dr. Pogosian or Dr. Ohlson determines that the implant is ready, a metal extension post and custom-made porcelain crown are attached to the implant device.

If you have received multiple implants to support dentures or bridgework, your dentist will check each one carefully to ensure that bonding is complete. Implant-supported prosthetics afford the same wonderful benefits of single-tooth implants.

Living with dental implants

Gentle and consistent brushing and flossing at home safeguard the bone and gums around your implant. Six-month cleanings and check-ups are very important as well.

If you chew tobacco or smoke, please consider seeing your doctor about a program to quit. Smokers often develop an infection called peri-implantitis, and it endangers implant success and longevity.
