Dr. Thomas Reed and Dr. Natalie Lesinski use computer-guided 3D surgery to plan and place each implant with a high level of accuracy.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a landmark dentistry treatment to address tooth loss, but not everyone is a candidate. You may be a candidate if:

You are in otherwise good oral health

If you suffer from issues such as tooth decay, tooth damage, or gum disease, this must be addressed before you can undergo implant placement. This is to ensure a healthy foundation for your implants and restorations. 

You have sufficient bone tissue

You must have sufficient jawbone tissue for dental implant placement. To receive traditional implants, those with extensive bone loss will first need bone grafting to ensure there is sufficient bone to support the implants. Options like All-on-4® (an entire denture on the upper or lower arch placed on four specially-designed implants) can allow certain patients to receive implants without a preliminary bone graft.

You are in good overall health

Our dentists will examine your health records to determine if implant placement is safe. If you have diabetes, for example, the condition must be under control in order to safely undergo the procedure.

Suffering From Existing Bone Loss? We Can Help

If you have been told you do not qualify for traditional dental implants due to bone loss, our dentists offer the All-on-4® and All-on-6 implant techniques. These methods use four to six strategically placed implants to maximize existing bone material. For more extensive bone loss, our team also performs bone grafting and sinus lifts to help you qualify for the benefits dental implants provide.

Dental Implant Treatment

Placing traditional dental implants involves these fundamental steps:

"If having teeth for a lifetime means you have to take, say, 3-6 months to get there, it's certainly worth that investment of time." Dr. Mark Link

Consultation

You will first have a consultation with one of our dentists. During this appointment, they will examine your mouth and discuss your oral and overall health history. Be sure to inform your dentist about any health conditions or medications you are taking. 

Preparatory Treatment

If you need preparatory treatment such as periodontal care, bone grafting, or tooth extraction, this will be done first. Once you are healed, your implants can be placed.

Socket Shield Technique

For patients who still have their tooth or tooth roots, we can bolster their results using a socket shield technique. Basically, we will keep a modest portion of your tooth's root in place. This allows for improved bone health.

Implant Placement

Your dentist will first numb the area. Our Centennial dental practice also offers sedation options to ensure you are comfortable during treatment. Your dentist will then make a small incision in the gum tissue and insert the implants. 

Healing

You will be given time to heal. Over the course of three to six months, the titanium implants will fuse to the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.

About Placement

Once you are healed, your dentist will attach abutments to the implants. The abutments connect your denture, crown, or bridge to the implants.

Restoration

After the abutment is placed, your dentist will take impressions of your mouth in order to craft your custom restoration. Once your restoration is completed, your dentist will secure it to the implant.
