What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the only dental restoration that recreates your tooth from root to crown. They consist of an implant post, an abutment, and a prosthetic. Dental implants are available in single tooth restorations known as a crown and in configurations for multiple missing teeth such as bridges and dentures.
Since dental implants restore the entire tooth and not just what is visible on the surface, they offer greater benefits to your overall health. One of the most popular benefits is that the implant post continues to stimulate your jaw just like your natural tooth root would. This helps to prevent bone loss and preserves your facial structure and muscles.
Dental implants are also permanent and, thanks to the implant post, are securely anchored. This means you won't have to worry about your crown, bridge, or dentures slipping or falling out.
- Dental Crowns: The loss of a single tooth creates problems for all of your teeth. Your remaining teeth will begin to migrate into the empty space that was left behind, which creates an uneven bite and compromises your ability to chew food. However, an implant-supported crown recreates the surface area that your natural tooth maintained and restores your bite pattern, preventing your teeth from shifting. Our team believes that every smile is unique, and that is why we carefully craft a custom crown that artfully matches the size, shape, and color of your missing tooth.
- Dental Bridges: A dental bridge is a restoration that we use when you are missing multiple teeth in a row. An implant-supported bridge consists of a dental implant on either side to secure the bridge between them. We meticulously create a bridge that will blend seamlessly with the rest of your natural teeth. This restoration can replace between three and four missing teeth in a row.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Implant-supported dentures are increasing in popularity because they are permanent and completely restore your bite and smile and eliminate the need for denture adhesives. These restorations are available in partial and full dentures. We also offer All-on-4® and hybrid options, depending on your needs and preferences.
Our Process
When you visit our dental practice in Denver, you will notice a welcoming environment where we make you our priority. Our friendly team will take the time to talk with you to fully understand your needs and smile goals. We will perform a thorough and gentle exam of your teeth, gums, and jaws and then craft a treatment plan that is tailored to you and your specific tooth-loss situation. We encourage you to ask questions and share your concerns, and we are happy to give you all of the answers and information you need to be empowered to make an informed decision regarding your dental implant treatment plan.
If you need any pretreatments, such as bone grafts to increase the density of your jaw, we will discuss those services with you and adjust your treatment plan accordingly. We also use modern technology to provide efficient and precise dental implant placement, such as diagnostic CT scans to gather detailed images of your jaws and the surrounding tissues.
Denver Dental Implants FAQs
Many patients have questions about what tooth implants entail and their various benefits. You can rest assured that our friendly and communicative dental team is more than happy to answer your questions and address your concerns. We always want you to feel confident throughout the process of getting dental implants. Some of the most common questions we receive include:
No. Dental implants are meant to be a permanent tooth replacement option. However, our dentist can remove your restoration that sits on top of your implant post if it becomes damaged and needs to be replaced.
One of the greatest benefits of our Denver dental implants is that you can care for them as you would your natural teeth. We recommend that you brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day to help prevent any complications with your dental implants. It's also vital to the longevity of your new dental implants that you maintain your regular dental visits.
Dental implant posts fuse permanently with your bone and are designed to last a lifetime of use. The only part of your dental implant that may require replacement over time is the restoration. However, with proper care, your restoration should last for over a decade of use.
