Implants

Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO offers many dental services, even implants. Dental implants are replacements for natural teeth that are missing or have been removed. They are a better alternative to dental bridges because other teeth will not be affected. Dr. Kattaura is dedicated to helping you achieve the smile you deserve with dental implants. 

The process for dental implants will take place over a few appointments, spanning over a couple of months. The first part of the process is installing the implant itself. You will be placed under general anesthesia for the procedure. Dr. Kattaura will make an incision in the gums, placing the titanium screw into the jaw. After, the gums are sutured shut. The entire procedure itself takes around twenty minutes to complete. 

It takes between 3-6 months for the implant to completely heal. During this time the jaw bone will form around the implant in a process called osseointegration and you will be given crowns during the healing process. This will let you continue to eat and speak normally throughout. Once the implant is fully healed, an abutment is placed. This will serve as the base for your new tooth. An impression is then created from this and sent to a dental laboratory. There, your permanent restoration will be created. At your final appointment Dr. Kattaura, she will attach the final restoration.
