The number of implants varies depending on how many teeth need to be replaced. Most cases require 2 to 6 implants. At Litchfield Dental Associates, we’ll customize your plan based on your specific needs.

 Most patients report only mild discomfort. The procedure is done using local anesthesia, and any soreness afterward is usually manageable with basic over-the-counter medication.

From your consultation to the final placement, treatment can take a few months. This gives the implants time to properly integrate with your jawbone before the bridge is placed.

 If you’re missing several teeth, have healthy gums, and enough jawbone support, there’s a good chance you’re a candidate. A consultation with our team will determine if this is the right option for you.

These bridges don’t rely on nearby healthy teeth for support. They’re more secure, help maintain jawbone health, and feel much more like natural teeth in your mouth.

With good care, the bridge can last 10 years or more. The implants themselves can often last a lifetime when paired with regular dental visits and strong oral hygiene habits.

You’ll care for it just like natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss around the bridge (we’ll show you how), and visit us for regular cleanings and exams. Water flossers or special tools may be helpful for cleaning around the implants.

 Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan. Some policies cover part of the treatment. Our staff will assist you in checking your benefits and reviewing your options.

We offer affordable monthly payment plans, $0 down options for qualified patients, and work with reputable third-party lenders like CareCredit® and LendingClub® to help make your care more accessible.
