Dental implants in Greenwich, CT
A missing tooth can be replaced with something that stays in place.
What it involves
At Greenwich Dental Studio we look at the gap, the bite, and the teeth beside it, then tell you whether an implant is the right fix or whether a bridge is the simpler one.
The office is at 211 East Putnam Avenue, Suite 2-6, Cos Cob. Call (203) 869-2884.
The plan
Exam, images as needed, and the fee in writing before anything is scheduled
The tooth
Placed, left to heal, then restored with a crown matched to the teeth beside it

Who this is for
When we recommend it
- A tooth is already gone, or it cannot be saved.
- You want a replacement that is fixed, not a partial you take out at night.
- The teeth on either side of the gap are healthy, and cutting them down for a bridge is a step you would rather not take.
- An old bridge is failing and the question is whether to remake it or replace the missing tooth another way.
- You want the fee in writing before anything is scheduled.
Step by step
How the treatment runs
- 01
The plan
Exam, images as needed, and a straight answer on whether an implant fits this gap. You leave with the options and the fee.
- 02
Placement and healing
The implant is set and then left to heal before the tooth is attached. If a specialist places it, we coordinate that visit and restore the tooth here.
- 03
The crown
The visible tooth is made to match the ones beside it, shaded and shaped the same way we make a crown for a natural tooth.
- 04
The fit
We check the bite before you leave. A tooth that sits in the wrong place is not finished.
Afterwards
What to expect once you leave
Healing
Healing takes longer than a crown on a natural tooth. We will tell you the interval before the final tooth is attached, and what to eat while the site settles.
If something feels wrong
Call (203) 869-2884 before the next visit.
We are an out-of-network office. We file the claim and give you the estimate before treatment begins.
The implant, the crown on top of it, and any specialist fee are separate lines, not one surprise number at the end.

Q & A
Questions we are asked about dental implants
We will tell you that at the consultation. Some implants are placed here. Some are placed by a specialist we coordinate, and we make the tooth that shows.
The final crown waits on healing. We name the timeline for your case before we start. It is not a one-visit crown.
Bring any old bridge or partial. The gap can still be planned. The longer it has been empty, the more we need the images before we promise an implant.
Many plans pay a portion. We estimate your share before treatment. Being out of network does not mean we skip the claim.
