Dental Implants

If you're missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the most natural, durable, and long-lasting solution available in modern dentistry. At Sterling Smiles Dental in Sterling, CO, Dr. Cristina Martha Smith helps patients from across northeastern Colorado rebuild their smiles with precision dental implant treatment. A small titanium post is placed in the jawbone to act as a replacement root, then topped with a natural-looking crown that looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth. Call 970-526-6544 to schedule your implant consultation.

A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Unlike removable dentures, implants are permanent and don't slip. They preserve jawbone health, prevent neighboring teeth from shifting, and restore full chewing power. Implants also don't require altering adjacent teeth, as dental bridges do. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime—making them one of the best long-term investments in your smile.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults in good general and oral health are excellent candidates. Adequate jawbone density is important; if bone has been lost after tooth extraction, a brief bone grafting procedure can rebuild the foundation. During your consultation, Dr. Smith will evaluate your health, take 3D imaging, and create a personalized treatment plan.

The Implant Process

• Consultation & planning: a full exam and 3D imaging.
• Implant placement: a gentle, precise, in-office procedure.
• Healing & integration: the implant fuses with your jawbone over several months.
• Crown placement: your custom, natural-looking tooth is attached.
