A New Beginning for Your Smile with Natural-looking Implants
Have you lost your tooth, or are you at risk of losing one? Perhaps untreated decay moved too deep into the roots, or you lost a tooth due to a fall or blow in your face.Whatever the reason for losing your tooth, it doesn’t mean you have to lose your smile, too. Dental implants in Longmont, Colorado, can restore your health and breathe life into your smile.
Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.

What is a dental implant?
Whether you have lost your tooth to injury, decay, or gum disease, a dental implant is the next best thing to the natural tooth you just lost. An implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the natural tooth root. Since titanium is well-tolerated by the body, it fuses with the jawbone after some months to become part of your dentition.
The implant links with the final restoration using an abutment. An abutment is a small metal connector attached to your implant to give it height and connect with replacement teeth, which can be a dental crown, bridge, or denture. With a precise eye for aesthetics, Dr. Farmer will ensure your implant restoration feels and looks like the natural tooth you lost.
Benefits of dental implants
Whether you have lost one or more teeth, Dr. Farmer offers solid and functional implant-based restorations. These innovative tooth loss solutions provide the following unique benefits.
- Natural appearance: We replace your lost teeth with implant restorations that blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth for undetectable results. Whether we restore your implants with a crown, bridge, or denture, the results are lifelike, closely mimicking your natural teeth.
- Optimal stability: We understand how frustrating it is to wear ill-fitting teeth replacements. Loose appliances can slip, move, and even fall out when talking, smiling, or eating! Dental implants are firmly secured in the jawbone, offering incredible stability when using your teeth.
- Stabilizes nearby teeth: Implant restorations fill the gap left missing teeth, preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting.
- Jawbone preservation: Untreated tooth loss leads to jawbone deterioration. However, implants provide functional stimulation like your natural teeth to preserve the density and volume of your bone.
- Long-term solution: Dental implants are designed to last for life. Once the implant biologically fuses with the jawbone, it becomes part of your dentition. The final restoration attached to the implant requires replacement after some time, but this happens after many years, and no surgery is needed since the implant is already in place.
