Dental implants are a durable, natural-looking solution for missing teeth, offering unparalleled stability and functionality. At Aspenwood Dental Associates and Colorado Dental Implant Center, we provide expert dental implant services in Aurora, CO, and the wider city of Denver.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible materials like titanium. Surgically placed into the jawbone, they provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, or dentures. Over time, implants fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, mimicking the function of natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants and Why to Choose Them?
- Natural Look and Feel: Implants are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
- Enhanced Functionality: Enjoy your favorite foods without worry. Implants provide the same biting strength as natural teeth.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last decades, making them a cost-effective option over time.
- Bone Health Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants don’t require the alteration of adjacent healthy teeth.

The Dental Implant Process
- Initial Consultation: During your visit, our team evaluates your oral health using advanced imaging techniques like 3D CT Scanning to determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants.
- Bone Grafting (if needed): Patients with insufficient bone density may require a bone graft to create a stable foundation for the implant.
- Surgical Placement: The implant is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or IV sedation for patient comfort.
- Healing and Osseointegration: Over several months, the implant integrates with the bone, creating a secure anchor for the restoration.
- Attachment of Prosthetic Teeth: Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant for a fully restored smile.
Types of Implants We Offer
- Single Tooth Implants: Replace one missing tooth with a crown supported by a dental implant.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Ideal for multiple missing teeth in a row, without altering surrounding teeth.
- All-On-4 Implants: A full-arch restoration using just four strategically placed implants. Learn more about All-On-4 Implants for a permanent denture solution.
- Mini Dental Implants: A less invasive option, suitable for smaller spaces or patients with reduced bone density.
Ideal Candidates for Implants
Most adults in good oral and overall health can benefit from dental implants. Conditions such as gum disease or insufficient bone density can sometimes delay treatment, but services like periodontics and bone grafting can help prepare patients for successful implant placement.
