Dental Implants

As a practicing dentist and owner of Southwest Family Dentistry in Littleton, Colorado, Robert Madden provides an array of preventive,

cosmetic, and remedial dental services. For patients with missing teeth, Robert Madden may

provide dental implants.

● Implants serve as an alternative to dentures and bridges.

● By replacing a missing tooth root with a titanium implant, Dr. Madden is able to attach a strong, durable artificial crown that functions and looks like a real tooth.

● As the name implies, dental implants are placed surgically in or on the jawbone.

● Along with providing a durable and efficient chewing surface, dental implants can prevent jawbone loss associated with missing teeth.

● Dental implants also have cosmetic advantages.

● Replacing missing teeth with dental implants may improve facial contour and prevent premature wrinkling.

● Likewise, crowns can be matched in color and shape to existing teeth.

● Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth.

● The procedure results in less damage to surrounding teeth than traditional bridgework.
