Dental Implants In Centennial, CO
Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as stable anchors for custom restorations like crowns or bridges. At Holly Family Dentistry, we provide customized dental implant solutions that are carefully planned to meet your functional and aesthetic goals.
Under the experienced care of Dr. Robertson, patients receive highly personalized treatment that prioritizes comfort, long-term results, and excellent oral health outcomes. Whether you're missing one tooth or several, dental implants offer strength, stability, and a smile you can feel confident in for life.
Why Should I Get Dental Implants?
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. Tooth loss can also lead to shifting teeth, bone loss, and difficulty eating or speaking. That’s why many people turn to dental implants for a reliable, long-lasting solution. Implants not only restore the look and feel of your natural teeth but also support the health of your jaw and surrounding teeth.
At Holly Family Dentistry in Centennial, CO, Dr. Robertson carefully evaluates each patient to ensure implants are placed with precision and care. Every treatment is tailored to your comfort and goals, so you can feel confident from consultation to final placement.

The Benefits Of Dental Implants
Restores Full Function and Confidence
Dental implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile just like you would with natural teeth. Their stable fit eliminates the slipping or discomfort associated with dentures.
Preserves Jawbone and Facial Structure
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that can occur after tooth loss. This helps maintain your facial contour and overall oral health long-term.
Durable and Long-Lasting
With proper care, dental implants can last 20-30 years or even a lifetime, making them a worthwhile investment for lasting oral function and appearance.
The Best Labs For Better Long-term Outcomes
We partner exclusively with the nation's top-rated dental laboratories, ensuring your implants are crafted from premium materials with exceptional precision for superior durability and natural aesthetics.
Bone Grafting
Our specialists are extensively trained in advanced bone grafting techniques, allowing us to successfully place implants even for patients who have been told they lack adequate bone structure.
The Dental Implants Treatment Process
Personalized Consultation and Evaluation
Dr. Robertson begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital imaging to assess your bone structure, gum health, and overall suitability for implants. Our warm, attentive team ensures you feel informed and comfortable at every stage while crafting a treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.
Implant Placement Using Modern Technology
Our practice uses advanced imaging and guided placement techniques to ensure precise implantation. During the placement procedure, the titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone under local anesthetic. Most patients report minimal discomfort, and healing occurs gradually over the weeks following the procedure.
Restoration and Follow-Up Care
Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the post. We take time to perfect the fit, function, and aesthetics of your restoration. Because Holly Family Dentistry emphasizes continuity of care, you'll work with the same team throughout for a truly personalized experience.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.
A single tooth implant is a modern solution for replacing a missing tooth. It consists of a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone and a custom-made crown attached to it. Unlike removable options like partial dentures, implants are permanently fixed, offering stability and comfort that feels just like your natural teeth.
Dental implants combine precision engineering with customization. The implant post is made from medical-grade titanium and comes in various standard sizes. The crown, however, is custom-made specifically for you. We either create it in-house using advanced technology or work with a specialized lab. The crown is typically made from porcelain for its natural appearance and strength. Once ready, we carefully attach it to your implant, completing your restoration.
With proper placement and care, dental implants can last for decades. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement over time due to normal wear and tear, but the implant itself often lasts a lifetime. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor everything and address any issues early.
While uncommon, dental implants can develop an infection called peri-implantitis. This typically happens if proper oral hygiene isn't maintained. To minimize this risk, it's important to follow post-operative care instructions and maintain good oral hygiene practices.
Yes! When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area starts to deteriorate from lack of stimulation. An implant acts like an artificial tooth root, transmitting chewing forces to the jawbone. This stimulation maintains bone density and strength, much like a natural tooth would.
In some cases, you can receive a dental implant and temporary restoration in a single day. This depends on your specific situation and the type of implant best suited for you. The temporary restoration allows for normal function while your implant heals. We'll schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and create your permanent crown. A consultation will help us determine the best approach for your needs.
