Losing a tooth to decay or injury is never fun, that’s why Denver Restorative Dentistry strives to help protect your teeth with dental cleanings and exams and root canal therapy to save a tooth when possible. But if you do lose a tooth or require extraction, it should be replaced with a dental restoration. Dental implants are a great way to make sure the jaw bone that supported the tooth stays healthy, preserving your facial structure and appearance so your smile looks great.

Our prosthodontists, Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre and Dr. Anna Pitz, and our team in Broomfield, Colorado offer dental implants for our patients who have lost teeth. As dental restorations go, they are one of the most stable tooth replacements out there since they are implanted in the jaw bone. Dental implants can replace one lost tooth, multiple teeth or even an entire arch.

Biocompatible, Sturdy and Long-Lasting

The dental implant post, or screw, is biocompatible with your mouth as it is made from titanium. It is surgically implanted into the missing tooth area, acting as a tooth root. Once the surgery site heals and the bone fuses to the screw you will have a stable, durable tooth replacement once the implant restoration is custom-fitted on top of the post. The result? You will have a natural-looking and feeling tooth that can last many years.

Our team of prosthodontists at Denver Restorative Dentistry has years of experience restoring smiles with dental implants and making sure your end result is perfect for you. As it looks, feels and functions just like the rest of your natural teeth so you can smile again with confidence. If you take care of your dental implant, it can last for a lifetime since the long term success rate is between 95-98 % easily outlasting traditional dentures and bridges that need upkeep and repairs and replacement.

Why Choose a Dental Implant

  • They are the only tooth replacement option that stabilizes the bone and surrounding teeth, preserving jaw bone from being lost over time.
  • Unlike bridges, they don’t involve altering the surrounding healthy teeth to hold them securely in place.
  • Unlike dentures that can severely damage surrounding teeth, bone, and soft tissue in the mouth over time, or shift around in the mouth, impacting your ability to chew, speak and even clean, your implant will stay securely put in your mouth.
  • Unlike dentures and bridges, dental implants don’t require extra maintenance.

As you can see, dental implants offer your smile long-lasting benefits! If you have one or more missing teeth, we invite you to check out our dental implant restorations. Just give our team a call at 303-586-1019 to schedule your complimentary consultation. You can also schedule your visit online. We look forward to helping you create a smile you can show off with confidence!

Losing your teeth is typically not the best experience. As a general rule, your natural teeth are worth fighting for and root canals are one way to do that. Of course, at Denver Restorative Dentistry, we do everything we can to help you maintain your healthy teeth and smile with regular dental cleanings and checkups to support your daily oral hygiene efforts for healthy teeth and gums.

The Beauty of Implant-Supported Dentures
Still, damaged teeth can’t always be saved, and should they be lost or require extraction, there are permanent restorations available to give you your confident smile back. If you have lost multiple teeth, our highly skilled prosthodontists, Dr. Taylor Goggins, Dr. Brian Aguirre and Dr. Anna Pitz can offer you a stable, long-lasting tooth replacement solution referred to as implant-supported dentures.

In-House Creation
Created in our onsite dental lab, these prosthetic devices are supported in each jaw with 4 to 6 implants to give your new teeth the most secure fit, function and appearance. Our dental team uses only the highest quality materials so you can proceed with confidence. Your implant-supported denture is created in our on-site dental lab by our master dental technicians to ensure optimal fit and appearance. By installing the dental implants into your jawbone and after a period of healing, the denture can then be connected to the dental implants so your new dentures feel like your own teeth.

Superior Fit and Hold
While traditional dentures are suitable for many people, they still aren’t as stable or sturdy as dentures supported by dental implants. You never have to worry about your implant-supported dentures slipping or sliding around at inopportune moments. You can eat, speak and chew around your friends, family, co-workers and anywhere in public, without fear because the implants in your jawbone hold them in place just like your natural teeth.

Right for You?
If you are ready for the life-changing difference implant-supported dentures can offer you, we welcome you to schedule a complimentary consultation with one of our skilled prosthodontists. We will consider your goals, evaluate your medical history and determine how best to move forward with the individualized treatment you want to reach your goal.

To make sure you have all the options available to you, we are happy to review all treatment possibilities available so you can make the most informed decision for your unique needs, without feeling pressured to make the best choice for you. Should you choose implant-supported dentures (anchored dentures or an All-on-4® treatment) we will work with you to achieve your goals and help you keep your new smile healthy. If you take good care of your new implant-supported dentures like you would your natural teeth, they can last for your lifetime of smiles you won’t want to hide!
