Dental Implants at Astra Dental with Dr. Sran
Introduction
If you have missing teeth, Dr. Sran at Astra Dental in Stratford, CT, can restore both function and appearance with dental implants. These implants offer a permanent and natural solution, enhancing your smile and improving your ability to chew and speak. Unlike traditional crowns, bridges, and dentures, dental implants are supported by titanium posts embedded in the jawbone, making them a lasting part of your mouth that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. They stay securely in place without slipping and require no special maintenance beyond regular brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups. These innovative solutions have revolutionized restorative dentistry, and we are proud to offer them to our patients in Stratford, CT.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike conventional dentures or bridges, implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, preserving your natural tooth structure and bone health.
Our Implant Process
1. Consultation and Planning:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Sran conducts a thorough dental exam, including 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and develop a personalized treatment plan.
- Customized Plan: Based on your unique needs, we create a detailed plan outlining each step of the implant process.
2. Implant Placement:
- Precision Surgery: Dr. Sran uses advanced, minimally invasive techniques to place the titanium implants into the jawbone. This precise placement ensures optimal stability and integration with the bone.
- Healing Period: The implants undergo a healing period, allowing them to fuse with the jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, forms a solid foundation for your new teeth.
- Surgical Guides: We use surgical guides for precise placement of the implants, ensuring the most accurate and effective results. These guides are custom-made based on your unique dental anatomy and the 3D imaging data.
3. Restoration:
- Custom Crowns, Bridges, or Dentures: After the implants have integrated, we attach custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures to the implants. These restorations are meticulously crafted to match your natural teeth in shape, size, and color.
- Final Adjustments: Dr. Sran ensures your new teeth fit perfectly and comfortably, making any necessary adjustments for a secure and natural fit.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
