Full Mouth Dental Implants - COLORADO SPRINGS, CO

Dr. Olson will verify whether full mouth dental implants are the right choice for you, or another solution is more appropriate, during your initial consultation. He wants what’s best for you, and you can always count on him to be completely honest about your treatment recommendations.

The process begins with a discussion of your individual smile goals and a thorough examination. Our array of advanced imaging equipment gives us a complete picture of your dental health through panoramic x-rays. Our intraoral camera also allows us to show you visible problem areas in your mouth and more clearly explain your treatment plan. Later it will also prevent the use of messy impressions by capturing precise digital ones in seconds.

If your tooth loss has also caused jawbone recession, Dr. Olson can arrange for a bone grafting procedure to rebuild it. For this he adds a small portion of bone material to areas where the bone has decayed. That bone graft material will eventually solidify and become part of your jawbone, giving it the strength to hold dental implants.

He offers sedation options including oral sedation, IV sedation, and nitrous oxide to make you comfortable during this and other procedures. Keeping you relaxed and pain-free is our number one priority! After your exam, you’ll have your full mouth dental implants placed by your implant specialist at a separate appointment. Dr. Olson works closely with that individual to ensure the best results.

Each dental implant is made of three parts: a screw-like post, a restoration, and an abutment that connects the two. During your dental implant surgery, four or more dental implant posts will be precisely inserted into your jawbone. Replacing your lost tooth roots, each implant post provides the stimulation your jawbone needs to restore proper bone health as well as properly maintain it.

After placement, you may also be able to receive a temporary restoration of natural-looking teeth that will enable you to eat and speak while you heal. During this healing period, which can take three or more months, your dental implants will bond with your jawbone permanently. This process is what allows dental implants to restore nearly complete oral function for years to come!

After your implant insertion sites have healed completely, you’ll come back to our office to receive your final restorations. These will be full arches of bright, attractive, strong replacement crowns that will inspire you to smile proudly again. Each of Dr. Olson’s restorations is customized to fit you and are created to the highest standards of quality by the renowned and specialized lab we partner with. With your new restorations in place you’ll be able to enjoy carefree meals, conversations, laughter, and smiles for decades. Just be sure to brush and floss them regularly like natural teeth.
