If you are missing teeth, then you understand how difficult simple tasks like eating, speaking, and smiling can be on a daily basis.
You don’t need to live this way. Dental implants can restore missing teeth with stable, functional, and long-lasting restorations.
Find out why implant-supported restorations are so popular among Dr. Robert Arbuckle’s patients in Wilton, CT…
Patients with two or three consecutively missing teeth are good candidates for an implant-supported bridge. An implant bridge is a single prosthetic consisting of multiple connected prosthetic teeth. It is usually supported by two or more implant posts and does not affect surrounding natural teeth.
Full implant dentures replace all the teeth on the upper or lower dental arch. We also provide partial dentures to restore large portions of your arch around any remaining natural teeth. In some cases, we recommend extractions to give you a strong and healthy foundation for your denture.
Wilton Dental Care is synonymous with innovative restorative dentistry, state-of-the-art facilities, and outstanding personalized service. Dr. Arbuckle has been in practice for over two decades and is trusted by the community.

Sandee PJanuary 7, 2022.Every year of service he's provided, the more I've come to respect and admire not only his professionalism, but how he takes his patients to heart. Come to think of it, if he's ever been in a foul mood, I'd never have known it...I don't think I've EVER seen him greet me with anything less than a massive smile. There was a mix-up in one of our appointments. Dr. Arbuckle offered to come in on his own time to make up for the miscommunication. You can't get much better than that!

First, a titanium implant is placed within the jaw, where it fuses to bone and replaces the missing dental root. The post is then capped with a small connector piece known as an abutment. Finally, we secure your implant-supported restoration to the abutment to complete your smile.
While dental implants have given many of our patients in the greater Wilton area life-changing results, treatment is not right for everyone. In order to qualify for dental implants, patients must:
A dense jawbone is crucial for the success of dental implant treatment. If long-term tooth loss has caused bone recession, we may recommend a bone graft. In that case, we can recommend you to a trusted oral surgeon.
Smoking and the use of other tobacco products will increase your risk of complications during implant treatment. If you currently smoke, you will need to quit several months before undergoing implant surgery and refrain from smoking throughout the duration of your treatment.
In order to receive dental implants, you must be healthy enough to undergo oral surgery. If you suffer from certain medical conditions like heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or auto-immune disorders, you might be at higher risk for implant failure.
Treatment begins with a surgical procedure to place the dental implants into the jawbone. Dr. Arbuckle can refer you to a trusted doctor for this portion of your implant treatment. We will provide a custom surgical guide to ensure precise placement.
Over the next three to six months, the implants fuse to your jaw in a process known as osseointegration. It is crucial to practice good oral hygiene throughout this time to ensure you heal properly.
Once osseointegration is complete, you will return to the oral surgeon for a second minor procedure. During this visit, the doctor will expose the implants and secure abutments to each post.
Our practice uses the latest dental technology, including digital impressions, to design your prosthetic teeth. This information is then sent to our partner dental lab where skilled technicians hand-craft the restoration.
When your restoration is ready and your gums have healed from the abutmentprocedure, you will return to our Wilton, CT, practice for the final step. Our dentist will inspect your implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture and make sure it is up to our high standards. After making any necessary adjustments, we attach the prosthetic teeth to the dental implants and your treatment is complete.
Generally, no. While your crown, bridge, or denture might be, implants themselves are not. We accept many types of dental insurance and will coordinate directly with your provider to get you the most coverage possible.
Our Wilton office strives to keep costs fair and affordable. We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit®, allowing patients to better manage the remaining out-of-pocket treatment costs. Keep in mind that with proper hygiene and checkups, implants can last a lifetime and substantially improve your quality of life.
