Dental Implants in Danbury, CT
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth with a small post in the jaw, topped with a natural-looking crown. We plan it with a 3D CBCT scan and handle your implant from start to finish in our Danbury office.

How an implant works
Three parts, one new tooth
The implant post acts like a root. An abutment connects it to a custom crown that looks and works like a natural tooth.

Exam and 3D scan
We check your mouth and take a CBCT scan to see your bone in 3D.
Placing the implant
We numb the area, place the post and give it time to bond with the bone.
Your new crown
Once it has healed, we attach an abutment and a custom crown.
Good to know
Does getting an implant hurt?
We numb the area, and laughing gas is available. Some soreness, swelling or bruising afterward is normal.
How long does it take?
The implant needs several months to bond with the bone before the final crown. Your plan will include a timeline.
How long do implants last?
With good care and regular checkups, implants can last many years.
“The staff was not only professional, but kind. The doctor herself took care of making my follow-up appointment.”

Paying for implants
Some insurance plans help with part of the cost. Members save 10%, and HFD, Cherry or CareCredit can spread payments out.
Dental implant questions
Do you place implants in your office?
Yes. We handle implants from start to finish, from the 3D scan and placement to the final crown.
What is a CBCT scan?
A 3D X-ray that shows your jawbone, nerves and sinuses so we can plan where each implant goes.
Am I too old for implants?
Age alone usually isn't the issue. Your overall health and bone matter more, and we check both at your consult.
Can I get an implant right after an extraction?
Sometimes. It depends on your bone and gums. Some cases need healing time or a bone graft first.
Does insurance cover dental implants?
Some plans cover part of it. We'll check your benefits, and financing is available for the rest.
