Dental Implants in Fort Collins, CO

Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance—they affect your speech, bite alignment, and long-term oral health. At Foothills Family Dental, we provide advanced dental implant solutions in Fort Collins to help you smile confidently again. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or support a full arch, dental implants offer unmatched durability and a natural look and feel.

Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with bone tissue. This creates a secure foundation for crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures—restoring not only the look but also the function of your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Permanent, long-lasting tooth replacement
• Preserve jawbone health and facial structure
• Eat and speak without discomfort or shifting
• No need to alter or rely on adjacent teeth
• Natural aesthetics and confidence boost

Most adults with good overall health and sufficient jawbone density are excellent candidates for implants. We evaluate your oral condition through digital imaging and a comprehensive exam. If you’ve experienced bone loss, bone grafting or ridge augmentation may be recommended to prepare the site for implant placement.

Common candidates include:

• Patients missing one or more teeth
• Individuals struggling with loose dentures
• People seeking a long-term, fixed solution
• Non-smokers or those committed to quitting

Under the skilled care of Dr. Richard J. Pass, your implant journey is guided with precision, experience, and compassion. Here’s what to expect:

1. Consultation & Exam: We evaluate your oral health, take digital X-rays, and review your goals.
2. Treatment Planning: If necessary, we’ll recommend bone grafting before placing the implant.
3. Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone.
4. Healing & Osseointegration: Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone.
5. Restoration: A natural-looking dental crown or bridge is placed to complete your smile.
