Dental Implants in Salida, CO

At Relaxation Dental, we offer high-quality dental implants to replace missing teeth with a durable, natural-looking, and permanent solution. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch, dental implants restore your smile, function, and confidence.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a lifelike tooth replacement consisting of:

• A titanium post that functions like a tooth root and fuses with the jawbone.
• A custom crown, bridge, or denture that looks and feels natural.
• An abutment that securely connects the implant post to the restoration.

Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are permanent, stable, and help preserve jawbone health.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Long-Lasting & Durable – Designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
• Natural Look & Feel – Blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Restores Full Function – Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
• Prevents Bone Loss – Stimulates jawbone to prevent bone shrinkage.
• No Slipping or Discomfort – Unlike removable dentures, implants stay securely in place.
• Protects Nearby Teeth – Doesn’t rely on adjacent teeth like a traditional bridge.

With dental implants, you regain a strong, beautiful smile that looks and functions just like natural teeth.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer

1. Single Tooth Implant

• Replaces one missing tooth with a custom implant and crown.
• Preserves jawbone structure and prevents shifting of nearby teeth.

2. Implant-Supported Bridges (For Multiple Missing Teeth)

• Replaces several missing teeth without affecting healthy adjacent teeth.
• Provides more stability than traditional dental bridges.

3. Implant-Supported Dentures (For Full-Arch Tooth Replacement)

• Securely anchors full or partial dentures to the jawbone.
• Eliminates the need for messy adhesives or slipping dentures.

4. All-on-4® Implants (Full Smile Restoration in One Day)

• Uses four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth.
• Provides immediate function with same-day temporary teeth.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth.
• Have sufficient jawbone density to support an implant.
• Are in good overall health and don’t smoke.
• Are looking for a permanent alternative to dentures or bridges.

If you’ve experienced bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary to strengthen your jaw before implant placement.

The Dental Implant Process

Dental implant treatment typically involves several steps over a few months to ensure a strong, lasting foundation.

Step 1: Consultation & Digital Imaging

• We use 3D imaging to assess your jawbone and plan implant placement.
• We discuss treatment options, sedation choices, and timeline.

Step 2: Implant Placement Surgery

• The titanium post is precisely placed into the jawbone.
• The area heals over 3-6 months, allowing the implant to integrate with the bone.

Step 3: Abutment Placement

• A small connector (abutment) is attached to the implant to support the new tooth.

Step 4: Final Restoration

• A custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture is placed for a natural finish.

Once complete, your new teeth function just like natural teeth!

Dental Implant Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients experience minimal discomfort and recover within a few days. To ensure proper healing:

• Take prescribed pain medication as needed.
• Stick to soft foods for the first few days.
• Practice good oral hygiene to prevent infection.
• Avoid smoking as it can slow healing.
• Attend follow-up visits to monitor healing progress.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
