Are dental implants painful?

No, getting dental implants is not painful thanks to local anesthetics used during the implant placement. Most people report little to no discomfort during or after the procedure. Additionally, many dentists now offer sedation options to make sure you are comfortable throughout the entire process.

Are dental implants expensive?

The cost of dental implants varies greatly depending on your individual needs and the type of implant used. Generally speaking, however, they can be more costly than other tooth replacement methods such as bridges or dentures. That said, when considering long-term costs, dental implants often end up being more affordable than traditional alternatives due to their longevity and reduced need for maintenance over time.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for many years or even decades. Additionally, some studies have found that dental implants last up to 98% of the time after 10 years.

Do dental implants look natural?

Yes! Thanks to advances in dental technology, most dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. The implant is made up of a titanium post covered with a porcelain crown, which can be customized to match the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth.

Manchester Same Day Dental Implants

Hamden and Manchester, CT's Leading Dental Implant Specialist

A long-lasting choice, implant-supported dentistry brings you as close to growing new teeth as possible. Expertly placed in the same bone that once supported teeth, you'll enjoy the strength and function of a natural tooth. Modern porcelains produce a result so lifelike, you may forget they are replacement teeth. The stability and sense of confidence you develop with implants will leave you smiling.

Dr. Sharma and Dr. Rangi use the latest technology to collect all the data necessary to help plan your restorative case. Digital x-rays, 3D mapping, models, and photographs prove valuable. Dr. Sharma and Dr. Rangi use highly regarded specialists to bring all components of your case together.

Implants (Surgical)

Many patients find the procedure of implant placement easier than they anticipated. Various types of sedation may fit your comfort level best, so feel free to discuss them with Implant Dentists Dr. Sharma and Dr. Rangi. Modern dental anesthetic numbs the site, and experienced hands carefully place the implant. A tiny guide hole provides a path for threading a small implant cylinder into place. The sterile piece is inserted into an exact location, and a smooth cover, or healing cap, protects the implant during the healing period.

In some cases, a temporary or permanent crown may be inserted at the time of surgery. Cases involving multiple implants often proceed the same way so that you can smile confidently immediately.

Implants can't withstand normal bite forces until the bone has integrated fully into the implant body. Dr. Sharma and Dr. Rangi will help you decide what will work best during the initial healing period, ensuring you’re able to function while protecting your implants. This period usually lasts 3-6 months as the bone grows around the implant. Most patients experience minimal discomfort after placement, especially compared to an extraction.

Implants (Restorative)

A carefully developed treatment plan which includes an implant placement, sets a solid foundation for an array of restorative options. After the healing period, crowns or bridges will be custom-made and attached to the implants with small screws or dental cement. The customization of your case from initial planning to final placement that makes all the difference. This allows a full range of services to be considered, from the replacement of one tooth to restoration of the entire mouth. Regardless of your situation, there's a solution for you.

One of Healthcare's Greatest Values

Even with all the benefits, the cost of dental implant procedures is an important consideration. When your case brings together the latest imaging, advanced training, and unique material technologies, this service offers one of the best values in modern health care. Compared to the replacement of other hard structures and joints of the body, most dental implant procedures can be done at a small fraction of those costs. As opposed to the alternative removable dentures, most patients carry on with normal activities right away and usually enjoy a lifetime of normal chewing, bite stability, and appearance. We know that the cost of dental implants in Manchester and Hamden is an important part of creating a complete plan that works for you.

The cost of dental implant services involves several critical factors unique to each patient. A fee quoted without careful evaluation and treatment planning may not only be incomplete but doesn't consider what's best for your mouth as an individual. Dr. Sharma and Dr. Rangi customize your treatment plan after they evaluate your current oral conditions, needs, wants, and budget to ensure that you get the proper care.
