Dental Implants in Connecticut for Natural and Confident Smiles
Dental implants are a good choice for replacing missing teeth and restoring a beautiful smile.Why Implants?
Dental implants are artificial roots (typically titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jawbone by a dentist, oral surgeon, or periodontist/gum specialist.
The “teeth” or crowns attached to the implants are natural-looking and effectively enhance or restore your smile.
Dental implants are an excellent solution to:
- Restore a confident smile
- Improve chewing, speech, and digestion
- Resolve bite issues
- Fix problems caused by teeth shifting into a missing tooth space
- Restore or enhance facial tissues
- Support a bridge or denture, making them more secure and comfortable
- Replace missing teeth
What to Expect
BeforeTreatment
Our goal is to make your visits as comfortable as possible. We treat you like family and believe that your comfort is part of quality dental care.
Before you get dental implants, make sure to get a good, thorough cleaning. The process of dental implant placement requires several visits over a few months. X-rays and impressions (molds), and 3D scans of the jaw and teeth are taken to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant.
DuringTreatment
During a dental implant treatment, the doctor will numb the area. While your mouth is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone. A second surgery may be required to place the post or abutment that will hold the artificial tooth in place in the case of a crown or bridge restoration.
After a few weeks of healing, the artificial teeth are fabricated and fitted to the post portion of the implant. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort.
AfterTreatment
Your First Visit
Your first visit will consist of working with your dentist to determine the appropriate dental implant treatment plan. You will have x-rays, impressions, and/or 3D scans done to find the proper placement for the implant. Be sure to ask your dentist about any questions or concerns you have during this visit.

Making An Appointment Is Easy
I had an appointment last week but was running late. The staff was accommodating and friendly. Lisa was welcoming and helpful by assuring me I’d still get in to keep my appointment. Lisa as always went above and beyond. I’ve been a loyal patient for 5 years and love the staff and doctors.

Groton dental group is the most professional and courteous dental office I have ever had the experience of being a patient and his entire staff are incredible! Thank you for making my dental work pain free and for giving me the confidence to smile in public once again
Once again Dr Green hit the high marks for her caring gentle dentistry! I’m having my 2 front uppers capped after 70 years of use and she is able to make the process, if not enjoyable, at least as comfortable as possible. I enjoy that she shares the step by step with me and isn’t opposed to adding a little light humor.
Doctor Green is the Best! Very professional, lovely person and number 1 ! She is making every visit so memorable! Love to come to Groton dental group just to see her!
Great dental office! I’ve been going here basically my entire life (over 30 years) and they have always been amazing! Friendly staff and great service!
My experience with Tori was the best!!! She was super gentle with my teeth and even offered me some numbing gel when they were sensitive. I have never had someone so concerned with my comfort while cleaning my teeth. She’s the only one I trust with my teeth now!
Absolutely love my Hygienist , Dentist and the entire staff. Never have a bad experience. Always take time to explain what is going on and willing to work with you on every level.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Usually, implants take several visits to complete.
The dentist that performs the procedure should have the latest 3D digital technology, which will allow them to mark the nerves and other anatomical structures to plan the implant site. This technology shows the exact location, depth, and angle of the implant prior to placement. An implant guide is created from the data, which is used to guide the drill into the bone ensuring the proper angle, depth, and placement. The 3D technology is also used for proper planning of the restorative crowns, bridges and dentures that will be secured by your new implants.
