Premier Dental Implants in Fort Collins

Dental implants are revolutionary tooth replacement options that mimic the entire structure of natural teeth. A titanium post is surgically implanted into the jawbone, serving as a root for the artificial tooth. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached to the post, providing a durable, stable, and natural-looking replacement.

• Natural Look and Feel: Implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
• Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution.
• Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs with tooth loss.
• Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
• Enhanced Comfort and Confidence: Securely anchored in your jaw, implants eliminate the discomfort and embarrassment often associated with dentures.

Dental implants stand out as a premier choice for tooth replacement due to their unparalleled stability and natural integration with the body. They restore the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your smile, allowing you to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence. This firm foundation also helps to distribute biting force more naturally, which can prevent further oral health issues, and plays a critical role in preserving facial structure by maintaining your natural face shape.

Initial Consultation

Your path to restored teeth begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Layton. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques, we assess your oral health and jawbone density to determine your candidacy for dental implants.

Implant Placement

The dental implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Dr. Layton expertly places the titanium post into the jawbone, where it will integrate with the bone in a process known as osseointegration.

Healing and Osseointegration

A healing period follows the placement, allowing the implant to fuse with the jawbone securely. This process can take several months but is crucial for the stability and longevity of the implant.

Attaching the Crown

Once osseointegration is complete, you'll return to our office to have the custom-made crown attached to the implant post. Dr. Layton ensures that the crown perfectly matches your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.

A Closer Look at the Procedure

A successful dental implant begins with a detailed assessment to ensure the jawbone is healthy enough for the procedure. For those with insufficient bone volume, bone grafting may be recommended. The implant's placement is meticulously planned and executed, with a healing period for osseointegration to occur. The final step is the attachment of a custom-crafted crown, designed for a natural and seamless fit.
