Dental Implant Placement
Used to anchor bridges, partials, or full dentures to eliminate slipping, dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth because of a titanium anchor attached to the jawbone. A trained implant dentist, Dr. Owens can provide comprehensive care by placing and restoring dental implants all at our Ft. Collins practice.
After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Owens can tell you whether you’re a candidate for dental implants. Good bone density and oral health are prerequisites. The first stage of the procedure involves oral surgery in which Dr. Owens will implant a titanium post or posts into the jawbone for each missing tooth or for the new teeth that will anchor a bridge or denture. Over the next few weeks and months, nature will take its course, allowing your bone tissue to fuse with the titanium post. This creates a solid foundation.
Once the implants are secured, you’ll return to our office for the restoration. Our lab will fabricate a handcrafted, permanent crown or denture according to the dentist’s design. We will secure the restoration in our office. Your new teeth will match the color and size of your natural teeth, so they’ll blend seamlessly with your smile.
By imitating an entire natural tooth, from the root up, dental implants offer a prosthetic that closely mimics nature. The result? Dental implant patients enjoy restored function, which allows a healthy diet of hard-to-chew foods. Speech may also improve. Strong and secure, your new smile will boost your confidence, enhance your appearance, and improve your quality of life.
Whilst dental implants are classified as the most permanent alternative with regards to tooth substitution, make sure that these are the best solutions for you personally.
