Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss that restore any missing teeth from root to crown. They look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth and can last up to a lifetime with proper care. Plus, our dental crowns blend seamlessly with your smile so you’ll never have to worry about others noticing your restorations unless you talk about them.

Thanks to our expert dentists, Dr. Steinbach and Dr, Van Gorden, we’re proud to offer zirconia dental implants that allow you to smile with confidence. They’re biocompatible and fuse directly with your jaw, filling the gaps in your smile and protecting your bone structure.

Dental implants offer several benefits that other tooth replacements can’t match, including:

Our Implant Solutions

Dental implants are the only restoration option made to replace the entire tooth from root to crown, restore jawbone density, and prevent bone deterioration associated with tooth loss. These restorations are perfect for people who want to preserve their jawbone strength while restoring their smile to its full glory.

At Elevate Dental Wellness, we take a personalized approach to your dental care. Based on your specific dental situation, we’ll suggest implant solutions that will work best for your needs and your smile goals. We understand each patient is unique and needs customized treatment, so depending on how many implants you need, we can offer different options.

Single Tooth Replacements

For patients missing a singular tooth, a single-tooth implant can be used to fill the gap. Single-tooth restorations can replace one or more teeth by using an individual implant for every tooth. Single-tooth implants can preserve more of your natural tooth as they don’t need to be secured by the surrounding teeth.

Full-Arch Tooth Replacement

If you’re missing an arch of teeth, we may decide to employ a full-arch tooth replacement. This restoration option includes sturdy dentures that we custom-create for you. Using six to eight implants, we’ll support your permanent denture without having to place an implant for every dental crown. We can even use this dental implant solution for your upper or lower jaws, depending on your jawbone density.

Multi-Tooth Replacements

If you’re missing multiple teeth that are adjacent to each other, we may recommend the use of a dental bridge in tandem with a dental implant. Multi-tooth replacements use two implants to support a bridge of replacement teeth. Depending on the number of missing teeth, multi-tooth replacements can be more cost-effective than using multiple single-tooth implants.

Snap-In Implant-Supported Denture

Similar to full-arch replacements, snap-in implant dentures are a unique device that allows you to remove your dental restorations. We’ll place implants to support your dentures, which you can take out for cleaning.

The snap-in device is easy to use but still sturdy, giving you a dependable restoration that looks and feels natural. Many patients prefer implant-retained dentures because they’re more reliable than traditional dentures and adhesives. Your dentures stay firmly connected to your implants, creating a reliable and convenient solution.

The Restoration Process

The dental implant process is completed in three steps that occur over the course of a few months.

Consultation — Your journey to a rejuvenated smile starts with a consultation with one of our qualified implant dentists. We’ll use innovative technology that helps us design a precise treatment plan for you.
Placement — Once our skilled dentists have created your treatment plan, our implant dentist will surgically place your implants. Then, your jawbone will bond with the fixture through a process known as osseointegration. This step typically takes between three to six months.
Smile! — Once your healing is complete, our dentists will place your new, permanent dental crowns atop your implants, which blend seamlessly with your smile. You’ll leave our office that day with the fully functional, stunning smile of your dreams!

Candidacy For Dental Implants

Most people are great candidates for dental implants. A large portion of the implant process is osseointegration, the healing process which involves the zirconia implant fusing to your jawbone.

Dental implants have a success rate upwards of 95% that is dependent on your oral health, immune system, and the strength of your jawbone.

Dental implants may not be right for you if:

Your jawbone is still growing
You have low jawbone density
You have oral health issues such as tooth decay or periodontal disease
You have underlying health conditions that weaken your immune system
You’re taking medication that affects your immune system or blood

Depending on your specific situation, in cases of jaw strength or poor oral health, you may still be eligible for a dental implant with the help of a supplemental procedure.

How long do dental implants last?

Zirconia and titanium dental implants can be a lifelong solution to tooth loss. To ensure the health and extend the lifespan of your implants, we recommend keeping a regular oral hygiene routine. Thankfully, caring for your implants is easy — just brush and floss your implants twice daily to keep them looking and feeling stunning, exactly like you would for your natural teeth.

Additionally, the best way to keep your dental implants healthy is to schedule an appointment at our Basalt office. There, our team of dental professionals will deep-clean your teeth and address any problems you may have with your implants.

How do I care for my mouth after the implant surgery?

After your dental implant procedure, you should take care to eat and drink substances that won’t harm your sensitive gums. Avoid overly hot and crunchy foods and brush your teeth gently in the weeks following your procedure.

Until your gums have fully healed, we recommend eating soft foods, such as:

Smoothies
Broth and soup
Ice cream and milkshakes
Mashed potatoes
Oatmeal
Protein shakes

Additionally, you should avoid sucking from straws and spitting forcefully, since these actions can harm your healing gums. We’ll also provide you with further detailed aftercare instructions when you visit our office for your consultation.

Are dental implants safe?

Yes! Dental implants are one of the most dependable and predictable methods of restoring your smile. Plus, our zirconia dental implants avoid the allergens often associated with titanium dentistry.

Dental implants can prevent bone loss in your jaw and sustain your facial structure. With the appropriate amount of oral hygiene and gentle aftercare, your new smile can last a lifetime. Learn more about the procedure and its benefits at your consultation at Elevate Dental Wellness.

Will my insurance cover dental implants?

Insurance coverage for dental implants depends on your specific provider and plan. Thankfully, our dental team is committed to maximizing the benefits of your insurance. Before your treatment, we’ll discuss the cost and run your insurance to ensure you receive the treatment you deserve at a price that fits your budget.
