At Butterman Dental PC, we believe everyone deserves a confident, healthy smile. If you’re missing teeth or struggling with ill-fitting dentures, dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution. Located in the heart of Centennial, CO, our dental practice combines advanced implant technology with personalized care to restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, implants are permanent, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
Understanding the different types of dental implants can help you make an informed decision about your oral health.
The most common type, endosteal implants are placed directly into the jawbone. They are typically shaped like small screws and made of titanium. This type is ideal for patients with a healthy, strong jawbone.
Instead of being placed into the jawbone, subperiosteal implants rest on top of the bone but under the gum. This option is suitable for patients who don’t have enough healthy jawbone and prefer not to undergo a bone graft.
The least common type, zygomatic implants are anchored in the cheekbone rather than the jawbone. They are used when there is severe bone loss in the upper jaw.
Ideal for patients needing a full arch replacement, the All-on-4 technique uses four strategically placed implants to support an entire set of upper or lower teeth. This method often eliminates the need for bone grafting.
Smaller in diameter than traditional implants, mini dental implants are often used to stabilize lower dentures. They are less invasive and can be placed in a single visit.
