Missing a tooth, or maybe a few? We know how much that can affect your confidence, your bite, and even your ability to enjoy your favorite foods. At Golden Hill Family Dentistry, we offer dental implants in Lakewood, CO, as a sturdy, natural-looking, and long-term solution to tooth loss.The Process: What to Expect
Getting a dental implant is a multi-step process, but don’t worry, we’re with you the whole way. We work closely with trusted local specialists for the surgical placement of the implant, then complete the restoration right here in our Lakewood office with a custom crown or bridge.
Here’s a quick overview:
- Consultation and Planning — We assess your oral health, bone density, and goals.
- Surgical Placement — Your implant dentist or specialist places the implant post into your jawbone.
- Healing Period — Your bone and implant fuse together, which can take a few months.
- Final Restoration — We place your custom crown or bridge for a natural, permanent look.
Is a Dental Implant Right for You?
If you’re in generally good health and have healthy gums, you’re likely a good candidate for dental implants. Even if you’ve experienced some bone loss, options like bone grafting or sinus lift surgery can help build the support needed for a successful implant. We’ll walk you through every step, answer all your questions, and create a treatment plan that fits your needs and timeline.
