Dental Implants

Reclaim Your Smile In Under 24 Hours

It may be just one tooth, or it may be many. No matter the number of teeth you’re missing, tooth loss is a significant lifestyle change. It can cause you to feel embarrassed to speak or smile around others. It can limit your diet to soft foods. It can destroy your self-confidence. We want you to know you can overcome all those daily constraints and regain the look, feel, and function of a complete set of healthy teeth. With it, you can reclaim your inner smile—a sense of contentment with who you are. We do this for patients every day with dental implants in Denver, CO.

Our practice is dedicated to whole-body dentistry. We create a healthier, happier, more self-confident you through enhanced dental services.

The Benefits Of Dental Implants

  • Enjoy a more satisfying, diverse, and nutritious diet

  • Boost your self-confidence

  • Enhance your dental, physical, and mental health

Three Steps To A Fully Restored Smile

  • We offer several ways to restore your smile. Partial dentures are an economical option that is held in place through suction or adhesives. Bridges are anchored on one or two healthy teeth which need to be filed down to accommodate the crowns. The best overall option—and the one we recommend the most—is dental implants. They offer a secure, lasting fit and don’t require us to alter any healthy teeth. We can determine if implants are the best solution for you during a free personalized consultation. This initial meeting will give us the opportunity to discuss your individual smile goals and conduct a thorough dental exam.

    We’ll also capture detailed 3D images of your mouth with our low-radiation cone beam CT (CBCT) scanner. Key to the planning and placement process is guided implant placement technology. Using special software, we can actually complete your placement virtually ahead of time to ensure the most precise, predictable results. We also have customized surgical guides created for you that accelerate and simplify placement by showing us the exact position and angle of insertion for your dental implants. Once we have all the specifications we need, we’ll schedule your placement procedure!

  • Before we begin placement, we make sure you’re relaxed with our sedation options, which may include oral sedation and/or nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”). You’ll stay calm and pain-free throughout your procedure. If you need any teeth extractions or bone grafting we’ll complete those before proceeding with placement.

    We start by fitting your surgical guide or guides over your gums. These have strategically placed holes that indicate where the implants should go. We insert the implants through these guides and into your jawbone, where they’ll stay for the rest of your life. We use implants of the highest quality from BioHorizons®, widely acknowledged as one of the top manufacturers in the industry. In most cases, we’re also able to attach your new tooth or bridge of teeth in the same appointment! With these you’ll have a fully functional smile for the entirety of your healing process.

  • Your gums and jawbone take four or more months to fully heal after implant placement. Your temporary restorations will allow you to eat and do anything you need to during that time. Healing is considered complete when your implants have fused with your jawbone. Once that happens, you can come back to our office to have your final restorations put in. This is a tremendous advantage in terms of convenience and continuity of care, because not all dentists both place and restore implants. Your final restorations will be made to match the shade of your existing teeth for a seamless look. With them in place, you’ll begin life anew with complete confidence and a healthy smile that will never hold you back!

 No Teeth One Day, Full Smile The Next

Having no healthy teeth left in your mouth means a life of limitations and frustration. You avoid speaking, smiling, and laughing out of embarrassment. You have no choice but to eat only soft foods. You lose your self-confidence. But there is a way you can overcome all of those issues with a full set of healthy, strong teeth again. With full mouth dental implants in Denver, CO, you can live a fulfilling life again. Besides a full set of teeth, isn’t that what you truly want and need?

We’re not a conventional dental practice. We believe in providing whole-body dentistry. Our mission is to create a healthier, happier, more self-confident you through comprehensive and expanded dental care. With full mouth dental implants, we aim not only to restore your teeth but to transform your quality of life. Our doctors have received training from some of the most renowned implant education institutions in the country, including the Kois Center, Implant Pathway, and the AAID Chicago Maxicourse.

Full Mouth Restoration Options

We provide several treatment options to recreate your complete smile. Dentures are a longstanding and economical way for us to restore your teeth. These adhere to your gums through suction or an adhesive gel. Upper dentures stay in place in part with a false palate, though this can limit the taste and tactile sensations of eating food. Implant supported dentures, another option, are secured to your jaw with dental implants. They won’t come loose or irritate your gums the way traditional dentures can. In terms of lasting fit and performance, however, the best overall solution for complete tooth loss is full mouth dental implants.

 

Three Stages Of Full Smile Restoration

  • We’ll discuss full mouth dental implants and your other tooth replacement options during your free, personalized consultation. This will give our team a chance to learn what your wants, needs, and goals are for your new smile. During this visit we also conduct a comprehensive dental exam to fully assess your dental condition, which extends beyond the teeth to the jaws. Detailed 3D images of your mouth, captured with our low-radiation cone beam CT (CBCT) scanner, allow us to begin planning out your treatment.

    Guided implant placement technology is another invaluable tool in the planning stage and beyond. With special software, we can perform a virtual placement procedure in advance of the real one. This will enable us to identify any potential issues and address them beforehand. A key component of guided implant placement is the customized surgical guide. We have these made for you from the information we collect during your examination and imaging. When it comes time to do the placement procedure, we’ll be able to place the implants at the exact position and angle of insertion necessary for a comfortable, lasting fit! With planning complete, we’ll schedule your procedure for the next visit.

  • We start every dental implant placement procedure by making you comfortable with our sedation options, which include oral sedation and nitrous oxide (also called “laughing gas”). These will enable you to stay relaxed and pain-free for your treatment. If you still have some remaining unhealthy teeth in your mouth, we can also perform tooth extractions at that time. Likewise, if your jawbone has receded due to your tooth loss—a common complication—we can rebuild it with bone grafting before continuing on to implant placement.

    The first step in placement is fitting your surgical guides over your gums—one guide on each arch. The guides have holes in specific positions that show us precisely where to place your implants. These guides essentially make the process foolproof. We put top-quality implants from leading manufacturer BioHorizons® into your jawbone through these holes. In most cases, we’re also able to secure a bridge of temporary new teeth in the same day. These new teeth give you a complete and functional smile while you heal!

  • After placement of full mouth dental implants your gums and jaw may take four or more months to heal fully. Your temporary restorations will enable you to eat and undertake other normal daily activities during that time. Once your implants have fully fused with your jawbone, your healing will be considered complete. You’ll then be able to return here for your final restorations. While many dentists place OR restore dental implants, we do both in one convenient location. You won’t have to go anywhere else! You’ll leave our office that day with your smile and your confidence restored, ready to enjoy conversations, laughter, and satisfying, nutritious meals again without any concerns!
