Denver Dental Implants
Denver Dental Implants: Making a Candidate out of Everyone
One of the fantastic benefits of Denver dental implants is that almost everyone is a candidate. The development of more sophisticated dental implant products, cutting-edge placement protocol and incredibly advanced medical technology enable Colorado Springs dentists, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers, to offer this fantastic tooth replacement solution to patients of all ages that present with all kinds of oral problems and any number of missing teeth. Whether patients come to our practice with a single missing tooth that they lost in an accident, or have steadily lost all of their original adult teeth over the years to the ravages of periodontal (gum) disease, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers are able to offer comprehensive and long term solutions with the use of Denver dental implants.
Denver Dental Implants: Typical Patient Age Range and Possible Problems
As it was previously mentioned, Denver dental implants can be used to replace missing teeth in the full spectrum of patient ages. Colorado Springs Dentists, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers, typically see patients of ages that range from the late teens right through to the nineties! There are of course certain challenges that come with older patients. Bone loss in the jaw is a problem directly associated with tooth loss and so is prevalent amongst those that wear traditional removable dentures. With the loss of the tooth roots, the underlying jaw bone no longer receives the stimulation it needs to remain alive and vital. And so, this tissue begins to waste away and atrophy, just as your muscles would if you never used them.
Denver dental implants prevent atrophy from happening by replacing the source of stimulation provided by the old tooth roots. However, not everyone opts for Denver dental implants when they lose one or more of their teeth. Many patients that have been wearing removable dentures for decades come to the practice of these Colorado Springs dentists seeking a more sophisticated and comfortable tooth replacement solution. Unfortunately, years of edentulism has grossly changed the natural contours of their face and jaw, leaving behind little bone tissue to support Denver dental implants. But this is where modern dental science is able to offer ‘space age’ solutions!
Denver Dental Implants and the ‘All-on-4’ Protocol
A perfect example of cutting-edge technology that allows Colorado Springs dentists to perform smile-makeovers is the ‘All-on-4’ technique; a breakthrough in the fields of fixed oral rehabilitation and dental implantology. Through the placement of only four Denver dental implants, these Colorado Springs dentists are able to permanently affix a fully customized prosthetic dental bridge in the mouth of patients that were formerly suffering from rampant tooth loss or edentulism (toothlessness). And the precise placement and angulation of these implants enables Dr. Morgan and Dr. Rogers to do this almost always without the need for bone grafting beforehand… and so the surgery can be completed in a single day! ‘All-on-4’ Denver dental implants even make permanent tooth replacement available to patients that present with substantial bone loss in the jaw. And this serves to widen the age range for which dental implants offer a viable solution.
