Have you ever wished you could turn back time on your missing teeth? While we can't reverse time, dental implants in Aurora, CO, offer the next best thing: a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.

The Process for Getting Dental Implants

At Baller Dental & Ortho, Dr. Holly Baller guides patients through this life-changing journey with expertise and compassion. She ensures each step of your implant journey is carefully planned and you are thrilled with the results. Here's what you can expect:

  1. Initial Consultation and Planning — Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Baller uses advanced 3-D imaging technology to assess oral health and bone structure. This detailed planning ensures optimal implant placement and successful outcomes.
  2. Preparation Phase — Some patients may need preliminary procedures such as bone grafting or tooth extraction. Dr. Baller will explain whether these steps are necessary for your case and incorporate them into your treatment timeline.
  3. Implant Placement — Dr. Baller carefully places the titanium implant into your jawbone using precise surgical guides. We perform this procedure under local anesthesia, and sedation is available for anxious patients. Most people return to work the next day.
  4. Healing Period — Over the next three to six months, the titanium implant post will integrate with your natural bone and tissues. Proper healing is crucial, as the implant post becomes a foundation for replacement teeth. During this time, our dental implant dentist will see you for regular check-ups to monitor your progress.
  5. Final Restoration — When healing is complete, Dr. Baller places your custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture on the implant to blend seamlessly with your smile.
