Dental implants: Helping you smile with confidence in West Haven and Milford CT

Dental implants are a great way to replace a missing tooth or to permanently attach a dental bridge, but did you know that dental implants can be used for people with dentures and partial dental bridges, and for people who do not have any teeth?

Some common complaints about dentures

Many people who currently wear dentures may not be 100 percent satisfied with their denture experience, but they make do with them because they believe that it is the only solution available. One of the biggest complaints of denture wearers is that it can be bothersome to chew certain kinds of food, and sometimes when talking with a friend they might worry their dentures will come loose.

How an implant dentist can help

Today, dental implants can be used to secure your dentures in place, so you never have to worry about them floating loose again. Indeed, at Shoreline Dental Care in West Haven and Milford CT, cosmetic and implant dentist Dr. Joe Tartagni provides a special kind of implant procedure that involves the surgical placement of multiple posts into your jaw bone. Once the bone has fused around them, your prosthetic dentures may then be set into place upon the posts. No more worrying about bonding creams and things of that nature. Your implanted dentures will function more securely than regular dentures so you can chew and smile with confidence again.

What is the surgery like and will it hurt?

For a patient who has already been fitted with dentures and simply wants to experience the increased quality of life that a dentures set on implants can afford – or for a patient who is ready for a new set of dentures and considering different options – getting dental implants will involve several trips to your cosmetic dentist before the procedure is completed. During the procedure, your dentist will install a titanium post into your jawbone. For those with dentures, the dentist will implant several such posts in different parts of the jaw. The patient must then allow time for the jawbone to accept the implants. Fortunately, bone loves titanium and will naturally fuse around the posts to form a permanent bond. Once the implants have fused with bone, your implant dentist will attach your prosthetic denture to the posts. After the titanium implant has been installed and the jawbone has had adequate time to grow and fuse around the titanium, then the prosthetic tooth, denture, or dental bridge can be mounted onto the implant.
