Aurora’s aging population and the prevalence of periodontal disease in the Fitzsimons Medical District area mean that tooth loss is a reality for thousands of residents. If you’ve been avoiding social situations or struggling to eat at local favorites like Stanley Marketplace because of missing teeth, you’re facing more than just cosmetic concerns—untreated tooth loss leads to jawbone deterioration and shifting teeth that can compromise your entire oral structure.
Dental implants represent the gold standard in tooth replacement, and as a dedicated Aurora dental practice with decades of local experience, we’ve helped thousands of neighbors restore not just their smiles, but their confidence and quality of life. Unlike temporary options, implants integrate directly with your jawbone to provide a solution that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
How Dental Implant Treatment Works in Aurora
Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation at Our Aurora Office
We use advanced 3D CT scanning and intra-oral cameras to assess your bone density and structure, sinus position, and overall oral health. If you’ve been referred from a provider at the Anschutz Medical Campus, we’ll coordinate records to ensure continuity of care.
Step 2: Foundation Preparation (If Needed)
For patients with insufficient bone structure—commonly associated with long-term tooth loss—we perform bone grafting procedures in-house to create a stable foundation. This eliminates the need for referrals and keeps your treatment timeline efficient.
Step 3: Surgical Placement & Osseointegration
Implants are carefully placed into your jawbone under local anesthesia or IV sedation at our Aurora location. Over the next 3-6 months, the titanium posts integrate with your bone through a process called osseointegration, creating an anchor stronger than natural tooth roots.
Step 4: Custom Restoration Fabrication
Once healing is complete, we design and attach your custom crown, bridge, or denture using digital impressions for precision fit. Our partnerships with local crown and bridge labs allows us to control quality and reduce wait times compared to practices that outsource to third-party labs overseas.
Your Dental Implant Options in Aurora
Single-Tooth Replacement
A single implant topped with a custom dental crown replaces one missing tooth without altering adjacent healthy teeth—a major advantage over traditional bridges.
Multiple Missing Teeth
If you’re missing several teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge provides a fixed solution that doesn’t rely on clasps or adhesives like removable partial dentures.
Full-Arch Restoration
For patients missing most or all teeth, All-on-4® treatment uses just four (or more) strategically placed implants to support a complete arch of replacement teeth—often in a single day.
Mini Dental Implants
If you have reduced bone density or need a less invasive option, mini dental implants can stabilize dentures or fill smaller spaces without extensive surgery.
Preparing for Implant Success
Healthy gums are essential for implant longevity. If you’re experiencing gum recession or periodontal disease, our gum grafting services can restore tissue health before implant placement. Similarly, patients with inadequate bone structure benefit from our in-house bone grafting procedures, which prepare your jaw for successful implant integration.
