A missing tooth changes more than your smile. It changes how you chew, how you speak, and — honestly — how you feel walking into a room. Dental implants give you that back. Not a temporary fix, not a compromise. A permanent, rooted replacement that your jaw actually grows around and holds onto.
At Newpoint Family Dental, Dr. Reza Tabai places and restores implants right here in our Unionville office. No referral to an outside surgeon. No shuttling between practices. One team, one plan, one location on Farmington Ave.
Why Implants Beat the Alternatives
Bridges require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. Dentures slip, click, and need adhesive. Implants don't ask your other teeth to make sacrifices, and they don't move. A titanium post integrates with your jawbone over a few months — a process called osseointegration — and becomes a foundation as strong as a natural root. We place a custom crown on top that matches your surrounding teeth in shade, shape, and translucency.
Implants also protect your jaw. When a tooth is missing, the bone underneath starts to shrink. An implant sends the same pressure signals as a natural root, keeping that bone healthy and your face structure intact.
What the Process Looks Like
- Consultation & 3D imaging — We take a CBCT scan to map your bone density and nerve pathways. No guesswork.
- Implant placement — Dr. Tabai surgically places the titanium post. Most patients compare it to a routine extraction.
- Healing period — Typically 3–6 months while the bone fuses to the implant.
- Final restoration — We design and seat a CEREC or lab crown that blends with your smile.
Are You a Candidate?
Most adults with adequate bone are good candidates. Even if you've lost bone density, grafting procedures can rebuild the foundation. The best way to find out is a straightforward conversation and a scan — we'll give you an honest assessment, not a sales pitch. Patients drive in from Farmington, Avon, Simsbury, and Canton to have their implants done by one experienced team from start to finish.
