Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants provide a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. At Silver State Smiles in Durango, we specialize in advanced implant dentistry using the latest 3D imaging and surgical techniques to ensure optimal results.

Our implant procedure typically involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to serve as an artificial root. This post integrates with your bone over several months, providing a stable foundation for a custom-made crown. The result is a tooth that's virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth and can last a lifetime with proper care.
What to Expect During Your Visit
The implant process begins with a thorough evaluation and 3D imaging to plan your treatment precisely. We may perform bone grafting if needed to ensure adequate bone structure. The surgical placement typically takes 1-2 hours, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. After osseointegration (3-6 months), we'll place your permanent crown.
