Cosmetic Dental Implants

That Restore Your

Natural Smile in Lakewood


Cosmetic Dental Implants

Missing teeth affect more than just your ability to chew food properly. They impact your confidence when you smile, laugh, or speak in social situations. As a cosmetic dentist practicing in Lakewood for over a decade, I've witnessed countless patients transform not just their smiles, but their entire outlook on life through cosmetic dental implants. These aren't just replacement teeth – they're your pathway back to eating the foods you love, speaking with clarity, and smiling without hesitation.

Life-Changing Benefits of Modern Implant Technology

Cosmetic dental implants represent the gold standard in tooth replacement because they address the root of the problem – literally. Unlike dentures that sit on your gums or bridges that rely on adjacent teeth for support, implants integrate directly with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a foundation as strong as your natural tooth roots.

The titanium post acts like an artificial root, stimulating your jawbone and preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. This preservation of facial structure means you maintain that youthful appearance while gaining a tooth that functions exactly like the original. The custom-crafted crown matches your existing teeth in color, shape, and translucency, creating a seamless blend that even your closest friends won't be able to detect.

My patients consistently tell me they forget which tooth is the implant because it feels so natural. You can bite into an apple, enjoy corn on the cob, or confidently give a presentation at work without worrying about loose dentures or gaps in your smile.


What Sets Our Lakewood Implant Practice Apart

My approach to cosmetic dental implants goes beyond simply replacing missing teeth. I consider the entire harmony of your smile, facial proportions, and long-term oral health. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, I can precisely plan your implant placement before we even begin the procedure. This digital planning allows me to show you exactly how your new smile will look and function.


The process typically unfolds over several months, allowing your body time to heal and integrate with the implant at each stage. During the initial consultation, I evaluate your jawbone density, gum health, and overall oral condition. If bone grafting is needed to create adequate support for your implant, we address this first. The American Dental Association emphasizes that proper planning and patient selection are critical factors in implant success rates, which exceed 95% when performed by experienced practitioners.

Once your jawbone has integrated with the titanium post, I attach a custom abutment and crown designed specifically for your mouth. Every detail matters – from the way light reflects off the surface to how the new tooth contacts your opposing teeth when you bite down. This attention to detail ensures your implant not only looks natural but functions properly for decades to come.

FAQs 

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do cosmetic dental implants last?

With proper care and regular dental visits, cosmetic dental implants can last 25 years or even a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself typically remains stable indefinitely when maintained properly.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants in Lakewood?

Most adults with adequate jawbone density and healthy gums make excellent implant candidates. Age isn't typically a limiting factor – I've successfully placed implants in patients from their twenties to their eighties. A comprehensive evaluation determines your candidacy.

What's the difference between regular and cosmetic dental implants?

Cosmetic dental implants emphasize aesthetic outcomes alongside function. This involves careful attention to gum shaping, crown design, and color matching to create the most natural-looking result possible, especially important for visible front teeth.

How much do cosmetic dental implants cost in Lakewood?

Investment in cosmetic dental implants varies based on your specific needs, including whether bone grafting or gum treatment is required. During your consultation, I provide transparent pricing and discuss financing options to make your treatment affordable.

Does dental implant surgery hurt?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during implant placement, which is typically less than what they expect. I use local anesthesia during the procedure, and most patients return to normal activities within a day or two with only mild soreness managed by over-the-counter medication.

How do I care for my cosmetic dental implants?

Implant care mirrors natural tooth care – regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. Special floss or interdental brushes may be recommended around the implant site, but the maintenance routine remains straightforward and familiar.

While maintaining good oral hygiene through practices like brushing, flossing, mouthwash, and regular cleanings is crucial, they may not always address the underlying reasons for problems such as tooth decay, misaligned teeth, and bad breath. These issues can often be traced back to airway obstructions, overcrowding in the mouth, and narrow dental arches resulting from habits like mouth breathing and sleep-disordered breathing.
