Dental Implants Broomfield CO

Dentist performing a dental implant in Broomfield CO About 120 million people in the U.S. have at least one missing tooth. This makes missing teeth one of the biggest dental issues that can lead to serious consequences.

Missing teeth can largely shatter one’s confidence and also make it daunting to complete everyday tasks, like eating and chewing. Plus, they can prevent people from smiling wholeheartedly, which can have a negative effect on one’s self-esteem.

All in all, missing teeth can lead to serious physical and mental issues.

Until a few years ago, there was no solution to replace missing teeth. Those with a missing tooth had to live their entire life without that tooth. But now, thanks to better technology, dental implants are available to restore your smile and teeth.

At Green Dental Smiles, our dentists in Broomfield can perform a variety of dental procedures, including dental implants.

While it is not the only solution to resolve missing teeth, it is the most preferred option because it is a long-term solution.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are frames or metal posts that are surgically fitted into the jaw to support a replacement tooth or teeth. They are placed right beneath the jawbone and typically do not require the neighboring teeth to be modified.

Dr. Kwon performs dental implants at our dental practice in Broomfield. He has helped dozens of patients get new teeth with this procedure and can answer questions regarding the dental implant process.

Dental Implant Procedure in Bloomfield

Undergoing dental implant surgery is very common. However, not everyone is a good fit for the procedure.

You need strong jaws and good bone density for dental implants. Our dentist will first examine your overall oral health to determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants or not.

If you’re suitable, we’ll move forward with the procedure, determining the type and number of dental implants you’ll need.

The actual procedure involves removing any damaged teeth (if any) and making an incision into the gum where the implant is to be fixed. In some cases, bone grafting may be required before implant surgery can be performed.

If needed, we can replace several implants together at the same time. After surgery, the gums are left to heal, and sutures are placed to aid the healing phase.

The implant(s) should be given about 3-4 months to heal completely. During this time, the jawbone forms around the implant, making it stronger and firmer in its place. You might be provided with a temporary crown during this period to make it easier to speak and chew.

Once, the gums and implant area has completely healed, the dentist will place the abutment on where the final tooth will be fixed after a few weeks.

Why Choose Dental Implants Over Other Procedures?

Dental implants have a success rate of 98%, which is a lot higher than other tooth restoring procedures.

Dental implants also make it easier to maintain your oral health. And, they won’t get cavities or decay, which can be nice to not have to worry about.

However, you’ll still need to brush and floss on a regular basis to protect your other teeth from decaying.

Dental implants are also quite durable and can last up to 25 years. They are made of titanium, which is known for its durability.

Other benefits include:

  • Improved appearance/smile
  • Improved speech
  • Ease of maintenance
  • Extremely durable
  • Successful

What are the Risks?

Dental implant surgery can be painful, but with anesthesia, you will not feel any pain.

Other than pain, there is a risk of infection and damage to the surrounding teeth. Fortunately, it isn’t a serious issue because infections can be controlled with the help of medicine and our staff will help make sure that you don’t feel any discomfort.

Our dentists and dental team’s experience with the surgery will help minimize damage to the surrounding tissues and teeth.

What is the Cost of Dental Implants in Broomfield?

The cost depends on the severity of the case and the type and number of implants needed.

To make affording dental implants in Broomfield easier, we also accept dental insurance. We can help you talk with your insurance provider, as some companies will cover a part of the total cost.

We Also Offer Removable Dentures

In addition to dental implants, we also provide removable dentures as a tooth replacement option.

They are an economic solution to tooth replacement that is easy to remove and clean and offers the wearer the same benefits as real teeth.
