Dental Implant Placements in Boulder, CO

Implants are a great way to replace missing teeth that have been and/or need to be extracted. Modern dental implants make use of osseointergreation, the biologic process where bone fuses tightly to the surface of specific materials such as titanium and some ceramics. Here, in our office we do the placement of the implant as well as restoring the abutment for a final restoration of a single tooth, implant bridge or implant supported dentures. During the first stage, the placement of the implant. We create a sterile environment, and place the appropriate sized implant for the space of the area and jaw. We allow the area to heal for 3-6 months. During that healing time, the implant is integrating into the jaw bone. Once the area has healed and the implant is integrated; the abutment is now ready for the second stage, the implant restoration.
