Dr. Babushkin is a nationally recognized expert on implant restorations and achieving optimal aesthetic results. As the only dentist in Fairfield County that is board certified by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, he and his associates are uniquely qualified to provide patients with the best quality dental implant restorations available.

Dental implants are a highly recommended, long lasting and durable solution to replace missing teeth. Implants can also provide afixedsolution to having removable partial or complete denture and provide excellent support and stability for these dental appliances. A titanium implant is surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone and then restored with a porcelain crown or crowns. The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance our patients smile!

Here are some examples of Dr. Babushkin's work...

Before

After

This adult patient had suffered a traumatic hockey accident as a child. His front tooth was treated with a root canal and a crown.
The tooth recently fractured and required replacement with a dental implant and crown.


Before

After


Front tooth required extraction due to a root fracture. It was replaced with a dental implant and the space between the front teeth was closed with a porcelain veneer on the other front tooth.

Reasons for dental implants:

  • Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.
  • Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.
  • Restore a patient’s confident smile.
  • Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.
  • Restore or enhance facial tissues.
  • Support a bridge or denture, making them more secure and comfortable.

What does getting dental implants involve?

The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.

X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself onto the bone for up to six months. Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time.

After several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient.

You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new implant.
