Specialty Periodontal and Dental Implant Care Across Five Connecticut Locations
For more than two decades, patients and dentists throughout central Connecticut have trusted Connecticut Periodontal & Implant Associates for the full scope of periodontics from treating gum disease and rebuilding lost bone, to placing dental implants that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Other practices refer their most complex cases to us, and we welcome those challenging cases.
Our three board-certified periodontists practice with one shared philosophy: conservative, comfort-focused care and clear communication at every visit. You don't need a referral. We're in network with Delta Dental Premier, and we file claims for other PPO plans as a courtesy, so getting expert care is simpler than you might expect. Learn why patients choose our practice.

Restore your smile with dental implants
Missing one tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch? Dental implants are the gold-standard, fixed solution that are anchored in the jaw so they never slip and help preserve the bone that supports your face.
For patients missing all of their upper or lower teeth, multiple implants placed strategically throughout the mouth can allow for a complete, non-removable, and esthetic replacement option. The implants and attached teeth can often be accomplished the same day with a single surgical visit.
As periodontal specialists, we place implants every day and manage the foundation they depend on, including bone grafting, sinus augmentation, and ridge augmentation when needed.
- All-on-4® full-arch restoration provides a complete set of fixed teeth on as few as 4 implants
- Single-tooth, multiple-tooth & full-arch options
- Same-day temporary teeth on single or multiple implants ensure you rarely leave without a tooth
- Implant-supported dentures for a secure fit
- Guided, precise placement for comfort & esthetics
- Sedation options for relaxed, anxiety-free visits

Healthy Gums, Healthy Body
Treating gum disease at its source
Periodontal (gum) disease is the leading cause of tooth loss and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions through the mouth-body connection. As specialists, we treat gum disease at its source with a conservative approach at first, with gentle, comfort-focused techniques and surgery reserved for when it's truly needed.
When surgery is the right answer, we offer laser-assisted gum surgery (LANAP® / LAPIP®) - a minimally invasive alternative to traditional cut-and-stitch surgery, with less discomfort and faster healing.
- Laser gum surgery (LANAP® / LAPIP®) is less invasive and offers faster healing
- Difficult & advanced cases welcome
- No referral required to be seen
- In network with Delta Dental Premier and will help file other PPO claims for you
Common Questions
Periodontal & implant FAQs
Have a question we didn't cover? Read all FAQs or contact any office.
A periodontist is a dental specialist who completes three additional years of training after dental school, focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, and on placing dental implants. Our three periodontists are all board-certified.
No referral is required. Many patients are referred by their general dentist, but you are welcome to schedule a consultation with us directly at any of our five locations.
Most adults missing one or more teeth are candidates. During your consultation we evaluate your bone and overall health to determine whether implants, with or without bone grafting, are right for you.
Choose whichever of our five Connecticut offices is most convenient: Windsor, West Hartford, Torrington, Wethersfield, or Vernon. See addresses, hours, and maps on our locations page.
