The Life-Changing Power of Permanent Tooth Replacement
At Arvada Dental Center, we provide dental implants to patients from Westminster and across the Denver metro. Whether you are replacing a single tooth or preparing for a full-arch restoration, our team has the expertise, technology, and in-house surgical capabilities to handle every step of your treatment under one roof.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed directly into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the bone through osseointegration, a custom crown is attached on top to complete the restoration. The result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Unlike bridges or dentures, an implant replaces both the visible tooth and the root beneath it. This is what makes implants the only tooth replacement option that also preserves jawbone. They are designed to last for decades and require no special maintenance beyond normal brushing and flossing.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants outperform every other tooth replacement option in both long-term function and oral health outcomes. Here is what sets them apart from bridges, dentures, and other alternatives.

  • Looks and Feels Like a Natural Tooth: The crown is custom-matched to your surrounding teeth. Most people will never know the difference.

  • Preserves Jawbone: Implants are the only replacement that stimulates the bone the way a natural root does, preventing the deterioration that follows extraction.

  • Protects Neighboring Teeth: A traditional bridge requires grinding down healthy adjacent teeth. An implant stands independently and leaves neighbors untouched.

  • Permanently Fixed: No removal, no adhesives, no slipping. An implant stays in place around the clock just like a natural tooth.

  • Long-Lasting Investment: With proper care, dental implants are designed to last decades. Most patients consider them a once-in-a-lifetime solution.

  • Easy to Maintain: Brush and floss normally. No special cleaning products or routines are required beyond standard oral hygiene.

For Westminster patients who want a solution that genuinely restores their smile rather than working around its limitations, dental implants are the gold standard of modern tooth replacement.

Consider Your Tooth Replacement Options

Not every tooth replacement is equal. Here is how implants compare to the alternatives so you can make the most informed decision for your smile and your long-term health.

Single Tooth Implant

One implant and one crown replace a single missing tooth independently. No healthy neighboring teeth are altered. The most conservative and complete solution for individual tooth loss.

Implant-Supported Bridge

Two implants support a bridge spanning a gap of two or more missing teeth. More stable than a traditional bridge and does not require altering adjacent healthy teeth.

 Implant-Supported Dentures

A removable denture that snaps securely onto implants. Far more stable than a conventional denture and can be upgraded to a fixed restoration in the future.

Full Arch Fixed Restoration

Four or more implants support a permanently fixed full-arch prosthetic. The closest option to a natural set of teeth in both function and appearance for patients with full-arch tooth loss.

Implant Restoration and Replacement

Beyond single tooth replacement, Arvada Dental Center offers the full range of advanced implant solutions for Westminster patients with more complex needs. All treatments are performed in-house by Dr. Bennett from consultation through final restoration.

What to Expect: The Dental Implant Process

1

Consultation and Planning

Your treatment begins with a full evaluation and 3D CBCT imaging at our Arvada office. We assess your bone density, bite, and oral health and build a customized treatment plan. Westminster patients leave this visit knowing exactly what their treatment involves, the timeline, and the total cost.
2

Implant Placement

The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Sedation is available for patients who prefer it. The procedure is straightforward and most patients return to light activity within a day or two.
3

Osseointegration

Over the following three to six months, the implant fuses with the jawbone. A temporary restoration may be placed during this period to maintain your appearance and function while healing progresses.
4

Abutment Placement

Once the implant has fully integrated, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the top of the post. This is what the final crown will be secured to.
5

Final Crown Placement

Your custom crown is fabricated to match the size, shape, and color of your surrounding teeth and permanently secured to the abutment. Dr. Bennett checks the fit and bite before you leave to ensure everything feels completely natural.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults in good general health who have one or more missing teeth are candidates for dental implants. Adequate jawbone density is needed to anchor the implant, and gums should be free from active disease before treatment begins. Patients with well-controlled systemic conditions such as diabetes can often qualify with appropriate medical coordination.
Patients with bone loss may need a bone graft or sinus lift before implant placement. Smokers are strongly encouraged to quit as smoking significantly raises the risk of implant failure. Westminster patients with severe upper jaw bone loss may be candidates for zygomatic implants, which bypass the need for grafting entirely. A consultation with 3D imaging is the most accurate way to confirm what applies to your situation.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients experience mild soreness and some swelling at the implant site for the first few days. Prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication manages discomfort effectively. A soft diet is recommended for the first one to two weeks while the site heals.

Long-term care is simple. Brush twice daily, floss normally, and schedule routine checkups at Arvada Dental Center every six months. With consistent oral hygiene and regular professional care, your implant is built to last for decades.

FAQs

Have questions about dental implants near Westminster, Colorado? Here are answers to our most common patient questions.

How much do dental implants cost in Arvada, Colorado?

  • A single dental implant at Arvada Dental Center typically ranges from $3,000 to $5,000 including the post, abutment, and crown. Cost varies based on bone preparation needs and case complexity. We provide a full itemized breakdown at your consultation. Financing is available through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, PatientFi, and others.

How far is Arvada Dental Center from Westminster, Colorado?

  • Our office at 6693 Wadsworth Blvd Unit A in Arvada is just minutes from Westminster. We offer Monday through Friday scheduling to make each appointment as convenient as possible for Westminster patients.

How long does the dental implant process take?

  • From placement to final crown, most patients complete the process in three to six months. The osseointegration phase takes the most time as the implant must fully fuse with the bone before the crown is placed. Patients who need bone grafting may add additional months to their timeline.

Is the implant procedure painful?

  • Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Mild soreness and swelling for a few days afterward are normal and managed effectively with medication. Most patients find the experience much more comfortable than expected.

How long do dental implants last?

  • With proper care, the implant post is designed to be a permanent solution. The crown may need replacement after 15 to 20 years depending on wear. Routine checkups at Arvada Dental Center help extend the life of your restoration.

What if I don't have enough bone for an implant?

  • Bone grafting can rebuild the volume needed for implant placement in most cases. A sinus lift may be needed for upper jaw implants when the sinus sits too close to the ridge. In cases of severe upper jaw bone loss, zygomatic implants can bypass grafting entirely. Your 3D scan at consultation will clarify which path applies to you.

Does insurance cover dental implants near Broomfield, Colorado?

  • Coverage varies by plan. Some insurance policies provide partial benefits for implants. Our team reviews your policy before treatment and helps you apply every dollar of coverage available. Multiple financing options cover the remaining balance.
