Dental implants are not like other tooth replacement options. They offer exclusive oral and general health benefits you’ll not find elsewhere.
Here are just a few of the reasons dental implants are an investment in your oral and general health:
- Jawbone Support: Only dental implants guard against jawbone loss, which can lead to a prematurely aged appearance and oral health complications.
- Tooth Migration Prevention: Dental implants prevent tooth migration, which can lead to further tooth loss.
- Function and Diet Enhancement: Dental implants restore your bite force, allowing you to enjoy healthier food choices.
Aside from the oral and physical health benefits of dental implants in Boulder, you’ll enjoy a long-term or even permanent solution to tooth loss with dental implants, and they are virtually maintenance-free. You simply brush, floss, and see your dentist regularly for dental checkups and cleanings.
Other tooth replacement solutions require more frequent replacement and upkeep, without the celebrated longevity.
How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are titanium tooth roots that replace those that are lost. Your dentist surgically implants the root, and it integrates into the bone. After integration, we fit you with dental crowns or a fixed prosthetic (implant denture or All-on-4®). We typically use up to six implants to secure a full arch of replacement teeth.
Of course, the first step is learning whether you’re a candidate for dental implants. To find out, we have you visit the dentist for a thorough assessment and conversation. You may be an immediate candidate or require certain pre-treatments, such as bone grafting, to ensure the success of your implant.
If you’re not a candidate, your dentist will explain why and discuss alternative options to restore your smile.
