What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant consists of a titanium post that mimics a natural tooth root, a metal abutment that attaches the restoration to the implant post, and a custom crown, bridge, or denture. Designed to restore the complete root-to-crown tooth structure, it fuses with the jawbone after placement to create a solid foundation for the new artificial tooth or teeth that are secured on top.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – You will meet with one of our dentists to go over your oral and overall health. We’ll also evaluate your jawbone density to determine if implants can adequately support your future smile.
- Dental Implant Surgery – Instead of providing referrals, we offer dental implant placement in-house, so you will remain with the same trusted professionals. We’ll administer local anesthesia before placing each implant into the jawbone.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration – Once the surgery is complete, you will return home to allow osseointegration to occur. This process involves the fusing of the implants with your jawbone, which can take 4-6 months to complete.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – Once your mouth is ready, we will attach your custom dental restoration. During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether you need a crown, bridge, or denture based on the number of teeth that need to be replaced.
Benefits of Dental Implants
As the only prosthetics to restore the visible and invisible portions of teeth, dental implants are unlike any other method of tooth replacement on the market. Their benefits extend beyond the aesthetic improvements you can expect but also enhance your oral and overall health in a multitude of ways.
Dental Implants Preserve Natural Facial Structure
Implants help maintain your natural facial contours by preventing bone loss to ensure your smile remains vibrant & youthful, preserving the integrity of your facial structure over time.
Dental Implants Provide a Long-Lasting and Durable Solution
These new roots are made of titanium. With daily brushing, flossing, and routine exams, they can last decades. Your restorations may eventually need a replacement, but your implants can last a lifetime.
Dental Implants Protect Remaining Teeth
By filling the gap left by missing teeth, our dental implants prevent adjacent teeth from shifting and becoming misaligned. This protection helps preserve the health and stability of your remaining natural teeth, ensuring a balanced and functional bite.
Dental Implants Enhance Quality of Life
Our dental implants restore full chewing ability and clear speech, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and communicate with ease. With a natural look and feel, they enhance your confidence and overall quality of life, making everyday activities more enjoyable.
Dental Implants Prevent Jaw Atrophy
Titanium dental implants serve the same function as a natural tooth and tooth root. When placed, the implant actively stimulates the jawbone and prevents the bone recession that follows tooth loss. No other dental treatment available provides this unique benefit.
Dental Implant FAQs
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a stable base for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?
Ideal candidates have good oral health, sufficient bone density, and healthy gums free from periodontal disease. To find out if you’re a good candidate, schedule a free consultation with Landmark Dental Studio at 303-773-8013.
What is the dental implant procedure like, and how long does it take?
The dental implant procedure is done in stages, with an initial surgery to place the implant, followed by a healing period, and then the final restoration. The entire process can take several months.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, though the crowns may need replacement over time.
How do I care for dental implants?
Implant-supported restorations are cared for just like your natural teeth. You can simply brush and floss as you normally would and continue to attend six-month checkups. For some patients, our dentists may recommend special brushes or flossing devices. We will provide you with specific maintenance instructions to follow between visits to Landmark Dental Studio.
Is dental implant placement surgery painful?
We offer sedation dentistry to ensure your procedure is as comfortable as possible. In most cases, we can combine nitrous oxide with a local anesthetic, so you remain relaxed and remember little of the actual treatment. There will likely be some post-procedure discomfort. Our team can prescribe pain medication to minimize pain during recovery.
Can dental implants be used to replace multiple missing teeth?
Yes, dental implants can effectively replace multiple missing teeth. A consultation with the Landmark Dental Studio team will help determine the best approach for your needs.
What factors can affect the cost of dental implant treatment?
Costs vary based on sedation, the number of implants, materials used, and any additional treatments that may be needed, such as bone grafts.
Will my dental insurance cover dental implants?
Dental insurance typically does not cover the entire cost of dental implant treatment. Depending on your provider, you may receive coverage for the restoration or preparatory procedures, but the implants themselves are rarely covered. To help you manage out-of-pocket expenses, we accept financing through Cherry and Sunbit.
