Dental Implants Colorado Springs

Frequently Asked Question About Dental Implants in Colorado Springs:

Question: How can dental implants remain permanently rooted in the mouth? Isn’t there a risk of them falling out?

Answer: The discovery that led to the possibility of a permanent, fixed and non-removable tooth replacement solution was the ability of titanium metal to ‘osseointegrate’; to form a strong biological bond with bone tissue. And so, when Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers place dental implants in Colorado Springs, the titanium screw fuses with the underlying jaw bone, enabling the entire structure to remain free standing and function just like any natural tooth would. It is the process of osseointegration that enables dental implants in Colorado Springs to remain permanently ‘rooted’ in the jaw. Once this process has successfully taken place, there is very little risk of a dental implant simply falling out, however, the success of osseointegration itself can be compromised by:

• Eating hard, chewy and crunchy foods in the first days and weeks following implant placement,
• Negligence of correct oral care and hygiene,
• Smoking and excessive drinking.

Once you’ve received dental implants in Colorado Springs, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers will provide you with instructions for post-operative care. There is very little risk of implant failure if you follow these guidelines closely.

Question: Does it hurt to have dental implants placed?

Answer: Dental implants in Colorado Springs are always placed under the effects of anesthetic. This not only ensures the complete comfort of the patient, but it makes it easier for Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers to carry out the procedure. A gentle sedative can also be used to relax the patient; rendering the entire experience pain, discomfort and anxiety-free.

As with any surgery, there is some post-operative pain associated with receiving dental implants in Colorado Springs, however, this is manageable with prescription analgesics. This discomfort is totally normal and seldom persists for more than a few days after the procedure.

Question: Will I ever need to have a dental implant replaced?

Answer: Patients that receive dental implants in Colorado Springs from highly qualified and experienced dentists such as Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers very seldom require future restorative work on their implants. At our practice, we use only the highest quality dental implant products and cutting-edge placement protocol to ensure the optimal success of our services. Dental implants in Colorado Springs, if cared for properly, often have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years and even more! So, while you may eventually require a replacement implant due to natural wear and tear, it is also quite possible that your dental implant will outlive you!

It is important to note that certain factors can and do influence the success and longevity of dental implants in Colorado Springs. These include:

• Tobacco use,
• Excessive alcohol consumption,
• Certain chronic medications,
• Certain illnesses (for example, cancer and diabetes)
• The health of the underlying jaw bone. The advanced stage of periodontal (gum) disease can render the placement of dental implants in Colorado Springs a more complicated procedure. As such, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers will perform a thorough clinical examination and treat any oral bacterial infection before proceeding with surgery.
