No Matter How Many Teeth You Are Missing,
We Have a Solution Built for You
Every Smile Is Different, and Your Implant Solution Should Be Too
Tooth loss looks different for every patient. Some people are missing a single tooth. Others are dealing with an entire arch of failing or missing teeth. Some have been told they do not have enough bone for traditional implants at all. Whatever your situation, there is an implant solution designed to address it, and at CT Implant & Oral Surgery, our team has the specialized training and technology to deliver it.
We offer a variety of dental implant options for patients throughout Branford and Norwich, CT, from straightforward single tooth replacements to complex full-arch restorations using advanced zygomatic and pterygoid techniques. Every treatment plan is built around your unique anatomy, your goals, and your long-term oral health.
Tooth Loss Has Many Causes.
Implants Address All of Them.
Dental implants are a versatile solution for tooth loss, regardless of the cause. Our team helps patients who have lost teeth due to:
- Advanced gum disease that has compromised tooth stability
- Severe decay has made saving the tooth impossible
- A dental abscess or infection that has damaged the tooth and the surrounding bone
- Injury or trauma to the mouth or jaw
- Congenital absence of one or more teeth
- Age-related bone loss or wear that has led to tooth failure
Medical conditions or treatments that have affected the teeth or jawbone

Top 5 Mistakes People
Make With Dental Implants
Do you have all the information you need to make the right decisions about dental implants? Don’t make any of these five common mistakes. Our exclusive checklist will steer you in the right direction.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
The majority of adults with missing or failing teeth are good candidates for dental implant treatment, in Branford and Norwich, CT, including many patients who have previously been told implants are not an option for them. Here are the key factors our team considers when evaluating your candidacy:
- The number and location of missing or compromised teeth
- The density and volume of the available jawbone
- The current health of your gum tissue
- Your full medical history and any medications you are taking
- Your overall physical health and ability to undergo a surgical procedure
- Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, can affect healing and long-term success
Your commitment to oral hygiene and routine follow-up care
How Implants Compare to Other Tooth Replacement Options
Not every tooth replacement option is equal, and understanding the differences helps you make the most informed decision for your long-term health. Here is how dental implants stack up against the alternatives:
Dental Implants
- Anchored directly into the jawbone, replacing the tooth root and crown for complete structural restoration
- Stimulate the jawbone to prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure over time
- Restore full biting and chewing strength with no dietary restrictions once healed
- Require only routine brushing and flossing to maintain
- The longest-lasting tooth replacement option available, with the potential to last a lifetime
Traditional Dental Bridges
- Do not require surgery, but rely on the reshaping of healthy adjacent teeth to support the restoration
- Cannot prevent bone loss beneath the gap where the tooth root is missing
- Need replacement every ten to fifteen years as the restoration wears and the supporting teeth change
- A practical option for some patients, but it involves sacrificing healthy tooth structure
Traditional Dentures
- A non-surgical option for replacing many or all teeth in an arch quickly
- Do not prevent bone loss, which causes dentures to loosen and fit changes over time
- May require adhesives to stay in place and need periodic relines and replacements every five to seven years
- Less expensive upfront, but carries ongoing maintenance costs and functional limitations
