Dental Implants in Denver

Renew Your Smile. Increase Your Confidence.

Dental implants are the most natural-looking and natural-feeling solution to missing teeth. Like a biological tooth, the implant is fused to the jawbone. This makes the prosthetic tooth permanent and resilient.

At Makowski Dental, we are fully qualified to perform all cosmetic dental procedures. Our dentist is an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry member. He stays on top of all the latest implant techniques and products.

How Dental Implants Work

Implants require oral surgery. We may administer general or intravenous anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the operation. Our dentist will drill down into your jaw bone to create a hole for the implant post. If your jaw bone has already started to deteriorate, we may need to reconstruct the area through grafting. Once the hole is prepped and clean, our skilled dentist inserts the titanium post.

After the post is in place, we will send you home to recover. Two or three months later, once your jaw has adapted to the new post, we can insert the abutment. This small titanium piece fits in between the post and the restored tooth.

Finally, we will affix your new, custom-designed tooth. We create these prosthetic teeth out of a variety of materials in varying shades of white. During your consultation, we can help you choose a tooth that will look most natural and meet your personal preferences.

Why Should I Get Dental Implants in Denver?

If your missing teeth are not noticeable, you should still consider dental implants. Over time, missing teeth lead to bone loss. Your jaw bone will naturally start to break down. This can lead to a sagging profile and premature aging. Titanium implant posts naturally encourage bone regeneration and bond to the jaw, saving your facial structure.

Dental implants can:

• Make it easier to eat
  
• Give you confidence
  
• Permanently fix your smile
  
• Improve your communication
  
• Make your mouth feel whole again
  
• Help you avoid the embarrassment of slippery dentures
  

Not all patients are good candidates for dental implants in Denver. If you experience medical complications under anesthesia, have a severely deteriorated jawbone, or have concerns about oral surgery, you may want to consider removable dentures instead.
