Colorado Dental Implants: Comprehensive Tooth Replacement Solution
Decades of successful surgeries have come to show that Colorado dental implants offer the most comprehensive and long term tooth replacement solution. Whether patients require a single tooth replaced or complete oral rehabilitation, no other technology can rival the benefits afforded by these ingenious devices. So, what are Colorado dental implants exactly; how do they work and what kind of benefits can patients expect to enjoy after having them placed? Here are the answers to your questions straight from Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers; experienced and skilled Colorado Springs dentists.
What Are Colorado Dental Implants?
Colorado dental implants are tiny titanium screws that are gently inserted into the jawbone at the site/s of the missing tooth or teeth. It is here that, over the course of a few months, they undergo the process of ‘osseointegration’ whereby the titanium metal of the implant forms a strong biological bond with the bone tissue. This not only enables Colorado dental implants to function and feel exactly as a natural tooth does, but it also promotes the health of the jaw bone. To the abutment of the metal screw, Colorado Springs dentists affix a durable and aesthetically-made dental crown. This is the only component of a dental implant that is visible above the gum line, rendering the entire tooth replacement structure virtually indistinguishable from any natural tooth!
How Do Dental Implants Work?
As it was mentioned, Colorado dental implants are inserted into the jaw bone where they essentially ‘take root’ thanks to the process of osseointegration. While the implant itself is constructed from non-organic materials, the entire structure is able to function like a real tooth, says Colorado Springs Dentists. The ability of these tooth replacement devices to remain free-standing also means that patients don’t need to sacrifice the health of the adjacent teeth, as is protocol with the placement of dental bridges. It also means that Colorado dental implants don’t apply pressure to the gums or cause any pain, discomfort, sensitivity or damage to the neighboring teeth; just one of the incredible benefits they afford patients requiring a new tooth or several new teeth!
The Benefits of Colorado Dental Implants
The benefits and advantages made possible by Colorado dental implants are linked closely with the fact that they are free-standing and replace the entire tooth structure (and not just the crown as was previously the standard of all tooth replacement methods). Thanks to this incredible technology, Colorado Springs dentists are able to provide patients with replacement teeth that:
• Function just like natural teeth, allowing patients to eat all the foods they love,
• Look just like natural teeth, which restores smile aesthetics and confidence,
• Colorado dental implants also prevent bacteria from attacking the exposed tooth socket and causing infection,
• The replacement of the tooth root promotes the health of the underlying jaw bone, preventing it from wasting away (atrophying); the cause behind those aged and sunken facial contours we typically associate with denture-wearers.
• Colorado dental implants can be placed using as minimally invasive surgery as possible, allowing patients to receive a tooth replacement solution with a shorter recovery period and less pain and discomfort.
