✓ Feel secure with a stable, non-removable solution
✓ A permanent solution built to last
The Three Parts of a Dental Implant
Post
The implant post is a small, screw-like titanium root placed beneath the gumline. It integrates with the jawbone to provide a strong, stable foundation.
Abutment
The abutment is a connector that attaches to the implant post. It supports the final restoration and connects the implant to your new tooth.
Prosthesis
The prosthesis is the visible replacement tooth, typically a crown, bridge, or denture, designed to look and function like a natural tooth.
Dental Implant Options

Single Dental Implant
Replace a single missing tooth with a permanent, natural-looking solution. A dental implant restores function, protects your surrounding teeth, and helps preserve bone for long-term oral health.

Multiple Dental Implants
If you’re missing several teeth, multiple implants provide strong, stable replacements without relying on adjacent teeth for support. This approach offers improved comfort, durability, and long-term bone preservation.

Full-Arch Dental Implants (All-on-X)
Replace an entire upper or lower arch with a secure, implant-supported solution. Options include removable snap-on dentures or fixed, screw-retained teeth for maximum stability and confidence.

Am I a Candidate?
Most healthy adults are candidates for dental implants. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Adequate bone structure (or a candidate for bone grafting)
- Healthy gums
- No medical conditions that would compromise bone health, such as uncontrolled diabetes or osteoporosis
The Dental Implant Process
Dental implant treatment begins with a comprehensive exam and 3D imaging to carefully plan your care.
If needed, we gently remove the damaged tooth and often place the implant the same day. The implant then integrates with the bone, creating a strong, stable foundation. If bone grafting is required, additional healing time may be needed before placement.
Once healing is complete, we restore the implant with a custom crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration designed to look and function like a natural tooth.
Technology for Safe and Predictable Results
We use advanced 3D imaging and digital planning tools to ensure your implant is placed accurately and safely.
CBCT 3D Imaging
Provides detailed, three-dimensional images of your bone structure for precise planning.
Primescan Digital Scanning
Creates a highly accurate digital model of your mouth without messy impressions.
Digitally Guided Implant Placement
We digitally plan your implant placement and create a custom surgical guide using our in-house CEREC technology. This guide ensures precise positioning for strength, stability, and long-term success.
Meet the Doctors Behind Your Implant Care
At Longmont Dental Loft, dental implants are about more than replacing teeth. They are about restoring confidence and quality of life. In this video, Dr. Hedrick and Dr. Ryan share their approach to patient care, precision treatment planning, and what inspires our team to help patients smile again.
Our Approach to Dental Implants
When patients are concerned about implant surgery, we reassure them that modern implant treatment is highly predictable and typically involves minimal discomfort.
Our approach is known as a crown-down technique. Using advanced CBCT 3D imaging and CEREC-guided planning, we determine exactly where the implant and final restoration should be placed for long-term strength and stability.
All three of our doctors place and restore dental implants right here in our office. As the only all-female team in Longmont currently placing implants in-house, we take great pride in delivering precise, compassionate surgical care in a calm, supportive environment.

Medical-Grade Titanium Implants
We use dental implants made from medical-grade titanium, a biocompatible material that naturally integrates with bone. Titanium is extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and designed to last for decades with proper care.
Are Dental Implants Covered by Insurance?
Dental insurance coverage for implants varies by plan. Some plans may cover a portion of the implant, crown, or related procedures, while others may not.
Our team will review your benefits, explain your coverage clearly, and help you understand all financial options before treatment begins.
How to Care for Your Dental Implant
Caring for a dental implant is similar to caring for your natural teeth, with a few important considerations:
- We recommend using a water flosser with a plaque-seeker tip, designed specifically for implants, crowns, and bridges. Learn more in our guide to Waterpik tips.
- If you have a bridge or All-on-X, specialized types of floss can help clean around the restoration and gum tissue.
- Interdental brushes and other implant-friendly toothbrushes can also improve daily maintenance. Learn more in our guide on toothbrush types.
Common Questions About Dental Implants
How much do dental implants cost?
Dental implants at our office typically range from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on your needs, from a single implant to full-arch All-on-X treatment. The total cost can also vary based on factors like bone grafting and the type of sedation used. Your treatment plan is fully customized, and we offer flexible payment options to make care more accessible.
How do I know if I’m a candidate for dental implants?
The best way to get started is by filling out the 60-second quiz on this page as it helps us understand your needs and guides your next step. Ideal candidates are generally in good health, have adequate bone structure (or qualify for bone grafting), and are looking for a long-term solution. We’ll cover everything in detail during your consultation, including any medical or health-related concerns.
Does getting dental implants hurt?
We use local anesthetic to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible and most patients are surprised by how little they feel. If you’re anxious, we offer sedation options including IV sedation, so you can relax completely during your visit.
What are my sedation options?
We offer oral conscious sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia so you can choose the level of comfort that’s right for you. The best option depends on your medical history, anxiety level, and the length of the procedure. We’ll go over everything with you before treatment to make sure you feel completely at ease.
How long does the dental implant process take?
Many implant procedures can be completed in a single day. A single implant typically takes about an hour, while a full-arch procedure like All-on-X usually takes around four hours. If bone grafting or other prep is needed, we may plan for multiple visits, but we’ll walk you through everything up front.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are made from medical-grade titanium and can often last a lifetime with proper care. Longevity depends on factors like your age, health, and habits. However, for many patients, they’re a strong, lasting solution that doesn’t need to be replaced.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for implants is a lot like caring for natural teeth, brush daily, use a water flosser, and keep up with regular checkups. If you have bridges or full-arch restorations like All-on-X, we’ll show you how to use special flossing tools to keep everything clean and healthy. It’s all straightforward, and we’ll make sure you feel confident about it.
What are dental implants made from?
Dental implants are made from medical-grade titanium, the same material used in many surgical-grade devices. It’s strong, biocompatible, and designed to bond naturally with your bone for long-term stability.
What technology does Longmont Dental Loft use for implant treatment?
We use advanced in-house technology to plan, design, and place your implants with precision. That includes 3D imaging with CBCT, Primescan digital scanning instead of impression material, and CEREC milling for crowns, bridges, and full arches. We even print your temporary teeth on-site, so everything stays under one roof for faster, higher-quality care.
Why should I choose a dentist instead of being referred to a specialist for implants?
At Longmont Dental Loft, all three of our doctors place and restore implants in-house, so you don’t need to be referred out for surgery. Your entire treatment is planned and completed by one trusted team, from consultation through final restoration.
Because we handle both the surgical and restorative phases, your care is designed with the end result in mind. Comprehensive training in advanced procedures means you’re seeing a dentist capable of managing complex cases, even when your needs are straightforward.
