A missing or failing tooth changes more than your smile. It can affect what you eat, how you speak, and how comfortable you feel day to day. Dental implants replace a tooth at the root, so the new tooth can feel stable and look natural.
Monroe Smiles is at 500 Purdy Hill Road, Unit 3 in Monroe, about 5 miles from Shelton. Implant dentistry is Dr. George Kwon’s focus, and patients from Shelton and nearby towns can start with a free consultation and a free second opinion.

An All-On-4 restoration replaces an entire arch of teeth using four to six implants as the foundation. Patients who have lost most of their teeth, or who have teeth that can no longer be saved, often look at All-On-4 implants as a fixed alternative to dentures.
Our team can walk you through each stage, from planning to the day you receive your final teeth.
Snap-in dentures attach to a small number of implants, so they stay put while you eat and speak, yet you can still remove them for cleaning.
For patients with a loose lower denture, snap-in implant dentures may add the stability that a standard denture cannot.
When one tooth is missing, a single tooth implant replaces it without relying on the neighboring teeth for support. The crown is shaped and shaded to blend with your natural smile, and daily brushing and flossing help keep the area healthy.
A multi-tooth implant bridge is similar, but it uses implants placed in the jaw to support a series of custom teeth across the gap.
Cost matters when you are planning implant care, so we keep the conversation open and clear. Our cost of dental implants page explains what affects pricing, and we are in network with Cigna, Delta Dental, and UnitedHealthcare, work with most PPO plans, and offer CareCredit and Cherry financing, including 0% options. In-house payment plans are also available, and our insurance and financing page covers the details.

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to act as tooth roots. They can support a single crown, a bridge, or a full set of teeth. Dr. Kwon reviews your options with you during your consultation.
The right option depends on how many teeth you are replacing, the amount of healthy bone in your jaw, your overall oral health, and your personal preferences. Dr. Kwon will go over your options and answer your questions at your consultation. Call us to schedule.
Cost varies from case to case, so we talk through your specific treatment plan and costs during your free consultation. Insurance coverage for implants varies by plan, and we are happy to check what your plan may cover. We also offer CareCredit and Cherry financing, including 0% options, and other payment options to discuss. See our insurance and financing page for details.
Bone grafting adds bone to the jaw to help support an implant when there is not enough healthy bone. Not every patient needs it. Dr. Kwon will let you know whether it applies to you after evaluating your jaw and oral health at your consultation.
Anesthetic is used during the procedure. Some soreness, swelling, or bruising is common afterward, and the doctor will give you aftercare instructions. If you feel anxious, ask us about oral conscious sedation.
Healing time varies with the number of implants, the condition of your jawbone, and your overall health. It can range from several weeks to several months. We will schedule follow-up visits to check on your progress.
