Dental Implants

Dental Implant dentistry is one of the greatest breakthroughs in dental care, offering an alternative to bridges and dentures for people who are missing one or more teeth.
If you have missing teeth, traditional dentures are not your only option.

In fact, a much more natural-looking and feeling dental procedure can replace missing teeth for a better aesthetic and improved chewing and speaking – and the best part is, it’s permanent.

Dental implants from our Colorado Springs cosmetic dentists can replace what you have lost with incredible functionality and results that both look and feel like natural teeth

What Is A Dental Implant ?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed in the bone and holds a fake tooth to replace a missing tooth. Implants are an alternative to dentures and dental bridges. Implants replace both the teeth and their missing roots whereas a denture only replaces the tooth. An implant looks like a screw and is made of titanium which is biocompatible and not rejected by the body. The bone grows in closely around the titanium dental implant, making it a part of the bone tissue.

The dental implant procedure involves placing an implant (which is essentially an artificial tooth root) into the jaw, which can then hold a replacement crown.

Dental implants look and function very much like natural teeth and can last for decades.

In addition to replacing missing teeth, dental implants can also be used to anchor dentures or partial dentures.

Before Dental Implants

After Dental Implants

The primary causes of tooth loss include:

• severe decay
• gum disease / periodontal disease
• genetics
• accident or injury
• disease or chronic conditions

Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
