According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, many people over the age of 50 need implants because they've lost over half their natural teeth to decay, injury, or illness. There are different kinds of implants but they all support natural-looking, fully functional prosthetic teeth and abutments:
Decay-resistant titanium posts that are surgically anchored into your jaw where teeth are missing. These posts act as replacement tooth roots. Your jawbone fuses with the posts, a process called osseointegration.
100% metal-free posts made from an ultra-strong, non-allergenic ceramic material that's both decay and bacteria-resistant. They're recommended to patients with allergies to metal.
These narrow titanium posts are recommended to patients with severe jawbone degeneration. They're 1.8 to 3.3 mm wide, which is smaller than the traditional size. Dentists typically use them for bridges and dentures.

A Brand-New Smile in One Appointment The Possibilities of All-on-4 Implants
Dr. Bidra offers All-on-4® dental implants to qualifying patients at our practice in Glastonbury, CT. With the All-on-4 method, he can attach a full denture to only four dental implants. 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.

"After implants, I have a smile again."
Though this patient was initially unhappy with the idea of dental implants, he's thrilled with his results. We worked with him to make the process as straightforward as possible, so he could make the best decision for his smile. Plus, our attention to detail allowed us to complete a beautiful and functional transformation.
Cost and Insurance Coverage For Dental Implants
Though it has higher upfront costs, roughly a few thousand dollars, dental implant treatment is a worthwhile investment in your smile. The cost depends on several factors, including the type of dental implants and restorations, the number of implants you receive, and any preliminary oral wellness treatments.
Although the initial cost of this restorative treatment is higher, dental implants provide patients with unparalleled benefits, including improved oral health and security. During your appointment, we can review all factors that may affect the price of treatment at our Glastonbury office. We do not use any cheap-quality dental implants or biomaterials to cut costs, which may be detrimental to your bone and health. We stand behind our work!
Unfortunately, most insurance plans don't cover dental implants. That's why our team works closely with CareCredit®, a popular third-party financing program. We strongly believe everyone is entitled to the dental care they need regardless of financial issues. Our friendly, educated staff will discuss costs and payment options with you.
