Dental Implants

Welcome to Ascent Dental Group, where we offer comprehensive dental care and implant services in Denver, CO. Our experienced and compassionate team, led by Dr. Jeff Johnston, is dedicated to helping you achieve optimal oral health and a beautiful smile. One of our specialties is dental implants, a highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed into your jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. They are a long-lasting and durable option that can improve oral health and quality of life.

All-on-4s, All-on-5’s, and All-on-6s Implants

At Ascent Dental Group, we offer several types of dental implants, including All-on-4s, All-on-5, and All-on-6s implants. These unique implant solutions can replace an entire arch of teeth in just one procedure, providing you with a complete and functional smile.

All-on-4s implants use four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of teeth. This procedure is minimally invasive and requires less bone density than traditional implants. All-on-5s and All-on-6s implants are similar but use five or six implants to provide additional support and stability.

These implant solutions are ideal for those who have lost most or all of their teeth or are facing extensive tooth extractions. They can help restore your confidence, ability to eat and speak properly, and overall quality of life.

 

Zirconia Implants

In addition to traditional titanium implants, we also offer zirconia implants. Zirconia implants are metal-free and ideal for patients who have metal sensitivities or allergies. Zirconia is a biocompatible, durable ceramic with a natural-looking tooth replacement option.

Zirconia implants are an excellent option for those wanting a more natural-looking, metal-free solution to replace missing teeth. They are also ideal for those concerned about the long-term effects of metal implants on their body.

 

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer several benefits over tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges. Some of these benefits include:

  1. Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, providing a more natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
  2. Improved Speech: Dentures or missing teeth can cause slurring or mumbling when speaking. Dental implants help improve your speech and pronunciation.
  3. Improved Comfort: Dental implants are designed to fuse with your jawbone, providing a stable and comfortable fit. They don’t slip or move like dentures, which can cause discomfort or pain.
  4. Improved Eating: Missing teeth or dentures can make it difficult to eat certain foods. Dental implants provide a strong and durable bite force, allowing you to easily eat your favorite foods.
  5. Long-Lasting: Dental implants are a durable solution that can last many years with proper care and maintenance.

 

What to Expect During the Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant procedure involves several steps, including consultation, implant placement, and crown placement. Our team will evaluate your oral health during the consultation and determine if dental implants suit you. We will take x-rays and impressions of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan.

Next, we will place the implant into your jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia; you will not feel pain or discomfort. After we put the implant, it will need time to fuse with your jawbone, which can take several months.

Once the implant has fused with your jawbone, a crown, bridge, or denture will be attached, providing you with a functional and natural-looking tooth replacement.

At Ascent Dental Group, we use state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure your dental implant procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible. We use digital X-rays and computer-guided implant placement, which helps us to place the implant and ensure the best possible results accurately.

How to Care for Your Dental Implant After the Procedure

After the procedure, we will provide detailed instructions on caring for your dental implant. It is essential to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly and attending regular check-ups with our team to ensure the long-term success of your dental implant.
