Dental Implants in Firestone, CO
A dental implant is a man-made root designed to hold a manufactured tooth in place. Dental implants are a popular method for replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even complete dentures. The placement of dental implants helps to stabilize bone levels and prevents bone loss, providing long-term support, function, and esthetics. Dental implants are a superior alternative to traditional tooth replacement methods as they do not require adjacent teeth to be altered. They are also an excellent way to stabilize dentures. At Revive Dental, we offer two free consultations for dental implants to help you understand the procedure and make an informed decision.

What is the procedure for dental implants? Are dental implants safe?
The first step in getting dental implants involves scheduling a free consultation with Dr. Briskie. During the consultation, Dr. Briskie will examine the area of the mouth where the dental implant is being considered and determine if any neighboring teeth need to be extracted. Additionally, he will decide on the type of bone graft that needs to be conducted.
After a few months of healing, the dental implant will be placed into the bone, and a healing cap will be placed over the implant to begin the healing process. It is essential to visit the dentist every six months for a check-up to ensure proper healing.

What types of dental implants exist?
There are two types of dental implants that are commonly used: endosteal implants and all-on-4 implants.
- Endosteal implants are the most popular dental implant option available. They consist of a titanium metal rod that is surgically placed into the jawbone and a supporting post that is designed to hold either a dental crown or a dental bridge securely.
- All-on-4 implants are a breakthrough dental implant system that uses only four implants to support a complete top or bottom denture. Each implant is placed strategically to ensure that the replacement teeth remain stable and secure. The primary benefit of using four implants is that it helps patients recover faster and minimizes the chances of complications due to implant failure.

What are the benefits of dental implants?
Tooth loss can cause difficulties in chewing and speaking clearly. If not treated timely, it can lead to tooth shifts, jawbone decay, facial structure imbalances, and bite problems. Such issues can arise over time as there is no root system to maintain proper bone health and alignment. Dental implants are the most effective solution for tooth loss as they act as an artificial root system to support a prosthetic tooth. Apart from helping patients overcome short-term challenges, dental implants also prevent long-term problems associated with tooth loss.
