You could be an ideal candidate for dental implants at Boulder Smiles if you suffer from missing teeth, require removals, or are having problems with your current replacement. The surgical approach for oral implants involves precisely placing a screw and securing a natural-looking, customized replacement (including partial pieces, crowns, or bridges). As soon as the area is prepared for treatment, it is desensitized with local anesthesia. The titanium post will be strategically secured in the jawbone using a technique known as osseointegration. Once the surgical site has fully healed (typically several months afterward), your dentist will position a custom implant denture, crown, or full-arch piece and assess the alignment of your jaw.
