Dental Implants
It's bad enough that missing teeth erode your confidence, but they can also start a cascade of new dental problems.
Let dental implants from Colorado Dental Arts in Littleton, CO, restore life’s simple pleasures and avoid future regrets.
Our highly trained team is happy to work with you to make sure cost doesn’t get in the way of your dental health.
Dental Implants Can Change Your Life What Makes Implants Special
While other solutions for missing teeth may look like natural teeth, they lack one feature that safeguards your future oral health: tooth roots. When you replace a missing tooth using a dental implant, you completely restore the tooth from the root to the crown.
Why are tooth roots so important?
Maintain Your Jaw
An implant acts like a tooth root, which has an important role in encouraging new bone growth. Without stimulation from the root, your jaw can weaken and recede, which can lead to a new round of dental problems.
Strong & Secure
Because dental implants fuse with your jawbone, they provide an incredibly secure foundation for your restoration, whether it is a single tooth or a full denture.
Better Function
Dental implants not only restore your smile but they also let you talk and eat confidently, a benefit especially treasured by our patients who have tired of dentures that continually slip and slide around in their mouth.

For a single-tooth implant, a titanium post is inserted into the jaw. After the post has fused with the bone, the abutment is attached so that the dental crown can be secured to the implant.
What Is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are the most dependable and stable way to restore your smile as well as your bite. The implant itself is a small post made from titanium, a biocompatible material. This titanium rod serves as a replacement for your tooth's root. During surgery, the screw-like post is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. In a few months, it will fuse with the bone to offer decades, or even a lifetime, of secure support for your restoration.
Modern dental implants have been used successfully since the 1970s and are continuously being improved. Dr. Krendl is committed to staying in step with the latest innovations in dentistry so that he can offer his patients in Littleton the most up-to-date and proven innovations in dental implants.
Types of Dental Implants
If you are missing just one tooth, a single-tooth crown on one implant can be used to fill the gap and restore your smile and bite. Dr. Krendl will ensure the crown blends in with your natural teeth.
If you are missing most or all your teeth, implants can be used to support dentures. Unlike dentures that simply rest on your gums, implant-supported dentures will never slip and slide around in your mouth.

It may be necessary to extract a tooth that is too damaged to repair. We typically refer extractions to a trusted outside specialist.
Bone graft surgery replaces recessed tissue to restore a foundation for implants. This is also referred to a specialist.
A sinus lift is performed to prevent the implant from disturbing the sinuses. A specialist lifts the sinus membrane and fills the empty space with a bone graft.
