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.

Dental Implant Timeline

Whether you need one tooth replaced or all of them, implants are an effective and versatile dentistry treatment.
All-on-4 treatment is even quicker than traditional implants and restorations. That's because it allows you to receive new teeth on the very same day your implants are placed.

Here are the basic steps:

All-on-4 treatment is even quicker than traditional implants and restorations. That's because it allows you to receive new teeth on the very same day your implants are placed.

Treatment Planning

During an appointment at our Glastonbury practice, Dr. Bidra will listen to your concerns carefully, examine your oral structures and natural teeth in detail, obtain radiographs and CT scan, and then develop a customized treatment plan for you. He will determine the best type of implants and location for the posts, as well as discuss your cosmetic goals. We'll also work with your medical doctor to get consultation and clearance as necessary.

Sedation Dentistry

Before dental implant placement, a numbing anesthetic will be applied so you feel comfortable. 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 dental anesthesiologist. 

Implant Placement

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.

Abutment Attachment

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 one or two weeks of healing, the final part of the procedure can be scheduled.

Prosthetic Teeth Placement

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.
