Dental implants are the most advanced, durable, and natural-feeling tooth replacement available. At Oakwood Dental in Castle Rock, CO, Dr. Jones and Dr. Zendig provide comprehensive implant care from consultation through final crown placement.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone where a tooth root once was. Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone through osseointegration, creating an artificial root that is remarkably stable. A custom crown is then attached on top.

What Castle Rock Patients Should Know About Dental Implants

Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that replaces the root as well as the crown. A titanium post is placed into the jawbone where it fuses (osseointegrates) over 3-6 months. Once healed, a porcelain crown is attached to the implant, creating a restoration that looks, feels, and functions identically to a natural tooth. Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering healthy adjacent teeth.

Bone loss begins within months of tooth loss because the jawbone needs root stimulation to maintain density. An implant is the only restoration that restores that stimulation, preventing the bone resorption and facial structure changes that follow extractions. Dr. Jones and Dr. Zendig evaluate bone volume with cone beam 3D imaging right here in Castle Rock to plan implant placement precisely — no referrals, no driving to Denver.

Oakwood Dental handles the full implant process in-house: consultation, 3D imaging, bone grafting if needed, surgical placement, healing monitoring, and final crown delivery. Patients from Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Franktown, and Parker appreciate one-stop implant care without navigating multiple specialists. Most PPO plans cover the crown portion at 50%; the implant post itself varies by plan.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Good candidates have adequate bone density, healthy gums, and no uncontrolled systemic conditions (such as uncontrolled diabetes). Smokers can receive implants but have higher failure rates. Oakwood Dental uses 3D imaging to evaluate bone volume at your consultation — some patients who think they don’t qualify actually do.

How long does the implant process take?

The total timeline from implant placement to final crown is typically 4-6 months, with most of that being the healing period (osseointegration) when no active treatment is happening. If bone grafting is needed, add another 3-4 months for graft healing before implant placement.

Do dental implants hurt?

The surgery is performed under local anesthesia so you feel no pain during placement. Post-operative soreness is typically mild to moderate and managed well with ibuprofen and ice for 2-3 days. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the recovery is compared to their expectations.
