What Are Dental Implants?
The implant itself is a cylinder made out of high-quality, biocompatible titanium. This piece is surgically implanted into the patient’s jawbone by an oral surgeon and over time it heals and fuses to the bone, the same way a natural tooth root would. Once the implanted component has healed, a porcelain crown is fabricated to match the size, shade, and shape of your other teeth for a seamless look. This crown anchors to the implant and creates a natural feeling and fully functional, beautiful new tooth.
Who Are Dental Implants for?
This procedure may be applied to correct the following issues:
- Broken or Cracked Teeth
- Poor-fitting Dentures
- Collapsed Facial Appearance
- Old, Deteriorated Dental Work
- Missing Teeth
- Severe Periodontal Disease
- Difficulty Biting, Chewing, and Eating
Dental implants are most ideal for individuals who are missing teeth, because not only does this procedure restore the appearance of a patient’s smile, but it also fully restores the natural function of the mouth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Appears and functions like natural teeth
- Supports the teeth and stabilizes the bite
- Allows you to eat what you want
- Allows for worry free chewing
- Enhances your appearance, smile, and confidence
- A solution that can last for decades or a lifetime
What Are the Steps in Dental Implants?
Creating beautiful implants that can last a lifetime takes planning, expertise, and a team of experienced professionals. The team at Signature Dentistry Centennial, has been successfully replacing missing teeth with dental implants for over twenty years. While the process takes a few months to complete, the end result and benefits make it well worth it. The process of having a dental implant done has two distinct steps:
Surgical – This step consists of planning your customized dental implant solution to fit your unique situation. You then see a dentist with a high degree of specialized training in the placement of dental implants to perform the implant surgery. If a temporary is needed during this time the doctor would create one custom for you.

Restoration – After a few months, once your dental implant has fused to the jawbone, you will return to have an impression taken of the implant. This will be used by the dental laboratory technician to create a precise connector and crown for the implant, matching your natural teeth’s color, shape, size, and bite. When you return to our office a few weeks later we anchor the final prosthesis to the implants and complete restoration of the natural teeth. Our doctors take time at this appointment to get the fine details of your bite and smile feeling and looking great . Implants, if maintained properly, can last for decades or even a lifetime.
