Dental Implants in Boulder, CO
Find Healthier, More Confident Smiles
Dental implant surgery is a revolutionary replacement technique for artificial teeth that can restore a single tooth, several teeth, or even an entire upper or lower arch of teeth at once. Patients are selecting dental implants as their tooth replacement option of choice for their durability, permanence, and natural appearance compared to adjacent teeth.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a popular, permanent solution for patients looking to restore the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Whether a patient is missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch of teeth, implant treatment can be an ideal option for many successful candidates. Our oral surgeons at Boulder Oral Surgery specialize in tooth loss restorations and can formulate a treatment plan with your oral health, preferences, and aesthetics in mind.

Dental implants provide many benefits for patients, such as:
A long-lasting, versatile solution.
Whether you're missing a single tooth or an entire arch, implant dentistry restores the look and function of real teeth. With proper dental hygiene, artificial teeth can last a lifetime.
A natural-looking feel and function.
Dental implants offer a complete tooth replacement solution, including the entire tooth root. Because the implant post securely fuses with the jaw bone, artificial tooth roots will not slip or fall out like traditional dentures. In addition, the visible part of the implant is custom-made to blend in with the rest of your adjacent teeth to replicate the appearance of natural teeth.
Preserves oral health.
When teeth have been missing in the mouth for a long time, bone loss is common. Bone loss can affect oral health by causing complications such as dental shifting, jaw misalignment, speech and eating difficulties, gum disease, and more. Because dental implants replace the entire tooth, including its root, they can prevent bone loss and preserve facial aesthetics.
Many patients are candidates.
In general, patients who are healthy enough to receive a tooth extraction or another kind of minor dental procedure are healthy enough to undergo a dental implant procedure. Some patients may require additional procedures beforehand, such as a bone graft.

Dental Implant Surgery
During the surgical placement of dental implants, your oral surgeon will place the dental implant post into the jaw bone. This post is made of a medical-grade titanium alloy and is ideal for fusing with the surrounding bone for a secure foundation through a process called osseointegration. While the surgical procedure of placing the implants can be relatively brief — as little as 30 minutes for a single implant — it can take several weeks for the implant to successfully and completely fuse with the jaw bone.
When you come to Boulder Oral Surgery for placement, our dental professionals will make every effort to ensure you feel safe, comfortable, and informed throughout your treatment. Dr. Nedbalski and Dr. Luter specializes in creating beautiful smiles and ensuring every procedure results in implant success. From a single implant to a complete All-on-4 restoration procedure, we can design a treatment plan to restore your smile.
At Boulder Oral Surgery, Dr. Nedbalski and Dr. Luter are committed to providing the highest standard of care. The use of the X-Guide system assists in the surgical planning and placement of your implants by combining the advancements of cone beam 3D imaging with powerful navigation software. This digital system also allows patients the ability to receive their personalized treatment plan and implant procedure on the same day.
The X-Guide will be used during your surgical procedure. The X-Guide can produce 3D images of your unique anatomy to assist your oral surgeon in the optimal placement of your implants, resulting in a safe, accurate, and aesthetically pleasing placement of your implants.
Benefits of the X-Guide include:
- Less postoperative discomfort
- Faster healing
- Accurate functional and aesthetic results

Denture Replacement With Dental Implants in Boulder, CO
There are several options to consider when looking to replace missing teeth. Removable dentures and bridges are quick solutions that do not require surgery. However, they do not prevent jaw bone loss, and many patients find them inconvenient to clean or eat with. Removable dentures must be taken out during meals, which can lead to feelings of embarrassment.
Dental implants are the ideal solution for missing teeth. Many patients who wear full or partial dentures or dental bridges turn to dental implants for long-lasting tooth replacement. All-on-4® treatment concept is ideal for patients who wear full dentures and would like a functional, natural-looking alternative. Dental implants are secure and prevent jaw bone loss, unlike dentures or bridges. If you are looking for a denture replacement in Boulder, CO, contact our office today for a consultation.
