These prosthetic teeth are designed to look, feel and function exactly like your natural teeth, providing you with a beautiful final result as well as one that promotes your long-term oral health and function.
What Are Dental Implants
Dental implants consist of two main parts: the implant post and the implant restoration. The implant post replaces the roots of your missing tooth or teeth, and performs the same functions as your original tooth roots to keep your supporting bone strong and ensure your smile has a stable foundation. These posts are usually made of titanium or another biocompatible material, and are surgically inserted into your jawbone.
Dental implants comprise two parts: the implant post and the implant restoration. The implant post is best described as an artificial “root” of the replacement tooth. Made out of titanium, it is fused to the jawbone to provide proper structure and support for the restoration. The implant restoration is the “crown,” or top, of the tooth and is placed like a cap over the implant to mimic a real tooth. The restoration itself is custom made to match your smile and can be used with the same utility as a normal tooth.
The implant restoration caps the post and replaces the visible portions of your missing tooth or teeth. Depending on your needs this restoration could be a single crown, a bridge or a denture. Our dentists will discuss your options with you during your initial consultation, and will work closely with you to design your restoration so that it fits your smile perfectly.
Who needs dental implants in Arvada, CO?
Anyone who has lost teeth is a candidate for dental implants. However, if you have a pre-existing condition, such as gum disease or tooth decay, you will need to complete treatment for that condition before you can receive an implant. Implants are also designed to last a lifetime, and require the same care as your original teeth, including daily brushing and flossing as well as regular dental visits.
