Cosmetic Dentistry The best permanent tooth replacement treatment available to Boulder County people who are missing teeth are dental implants.

A dental implant is a metal (ideally titanium) rod implanted into the bone to replace the missing root. The crown and supporting structure are securely and permanently attached to the rod. Titanium is amazingly strong and extremely well tolerated by the human body. There are very few instances of rejection. In fact, most Boulder County implant dentists are not familiar with any such cases.

Tooth implants offer a long-term solution to tooth loss. Are you a good Boulder County candidate for dental implant surgery?
