The Benefits of Dental Implants

Choosing dental implants can provide numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges. Here are some benefits to consider:

Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants look just like natural teeth and are designed to match your smile.
Permanent and Durable: Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.
Improved Oral Health: Implants help maintain the structure of your jawbone, preventing bone loss and supporting facial structure.
Enhanced Comfort and Function: Unlike dentures, implants are securely fixed in place, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile without worry.
No Impact on Neighboring Teeth: Dental implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, preserving your healthy teeth.

What to Expect During the Dental Implant Process at Espire Dental Fort Collins

Here's what you can expect when choosing dental implants at our Fort Collins office:

Initial Consultation: We’ll conduct a thorough examination, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and determine if implants are right for you. This is the perfect time to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
Personalized Treatment Plan: If you’re a good candidate, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan that outlines each step of the implant process. This may include extractions, bone grafting, or sinus lifts if necessary.
Surgical Placement of the Implant: During the procedure, we’ll insert the titanium implant post into the jawbone. To ensure your comfort, we offer sedation options like nitrous oxide or oral sedation (free of charge).
Healing and Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the implant will fuse with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. This creates a solid foundation for the replacement tooth.
Placement of the Crown or Restoration: Once healing is complete, we’ll attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture to the implant, completing your new smile.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown or restoration may need replacement every 10-15 years.

Is the implant procedure painful?

No, the procedure itself is not painful. We use local anesthesia and sedation to ensure comfort. Post-surgery discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost varies depending on the number of implants needed and any additional procedures. We’ll provide a detailed estimate during your consultation.

Can implants be placed immediately after tooth extraction?

In some cases, yes. Immediate placement is possible if there’s enough bone to support the implant. We’ll evaluate this during your consultation.

What if I don’t have enough bone for implants?

Bone grafting can be performed to add volume and density to the jawbone, making it suitable for implants.

Can dental implants be used to secure dentures?

Yes, implant-supported dentures offer a secure and stable solution for denture wearers, improving comfort and function.
