Question 1

How much do dental implants cost in Arvada, Colorado?

Accepted Answer

Monthly financing starts as low as $253 per month through partners like Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, PatientFi, Proceed Finance, and LendingClub. We accept most dental insurance plans and verify your benefits before treatment begins.

Question 2

How long do dental implants last?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. The titanium implant post itself typically never needs replacing because it fuses directly with your jawbone and becomes a permanent part of your anatomy. The ceramic or zirconia crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 15 to 20 years due to normal wear. Regular cleanings and checkups at Arvada Dental Center & Implants are essential for long-term implant health, which is why our 5-Year Assurance Warranty includes two annual maintenance visits to keep your implants in optimal condition.

Question 3

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

Accepted Answer

No. Implant placement is performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation, so you feel no pain during the procedure itself. Most patients experience mild soreness and swelling for 3 to 5 days afterward, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Dr. Bennett is Moderate IV Sedation Certified with annual ACLS renewal, which means even anxious patients and complex full-arch cases stay completely comfortable throughout treatment. Many patients tell us the procedure was far more comfortable than they expected.

Question 4

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Most adults with missing or failing teeth are candidates for dental implants, including patients who have been told elsewhere that they have no bone. At Arvada Dental Center & Implants, we use 3D Cone Beam CT imaging to map your jaw in precise detail and identify the right solution for your case. For patients with severe bone loss, we offer bone grafting, sinus lifts, and zygomatic implants that bypass the jaw and anchor into the cheekbone. Age is not a barrier, and we have placed successful implants for patients in their 80s and beyond. The only way to know for certain is a consultation and 3D scan.

Question 5

Does insurance cover dental implants?

Accepted Answer

Coverage varies by plan. Most dental insurance plans classify implants as cosmetic and offer limited direct coverage for the implant itself, but many plans do contribute toward tooth extractions, bone grafting, the final crown, and routine cleanings during your treatment journey. We submit insurance claims electronically on your behalf, verify benefits before treatment, and help you maximize coverage. Most patients pair partial insurance with our 12+ financing partners to make the total cost manageable. You will never be surprised by unexpected bills.

Question 6

Can I get teeth the same day as my implant surgery?

Accepted Answer

For most full-arch cases, yes. With same-day implants, also called teeth-in-a-day or immediate-load implants, Dr. Bennett places your implants and attaches a temporary fixed bridge in a single appointment, so you leave with a complete, functional smile. The temporary is worn during the 3 to 5 month healing period while the implants fuse with your jawbone. Your final zirconia restoration is then fabricated in our in-house dental lab and placed once integration is complete. About 99.9% of full-arch patients qualify for same-day teeth at Arvada Dental Center & Implants.

Question 7

What is the difference between All-On-4, All-On-X, and zygomatic implants?

Accepted Answer

All-On-4 uses 4 implants per arch to support a fixed bridge. All-On-X is a broader term covering full-arch restorations using 4 to 8 implants, with the number customized to your bone quality and bite forces. Dr. Bennett often places 5 or 6 implants for upper-arch cases or patients who want maximum long-term durability, with no extra charge for additional implants. Zygomatic implants are reserved for patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss who cannot receive traditional implants, and they anchor in the cheekbone rather than the jaw, bypassing missing bone entirely and avoiding years of bone grafting.

Question 8

How long does the full dental implant process take?

Accepted Answer

For a single tooth implant, the full process typically takes 4 to 8 months from placement to final crown, including the 3 to 6 month osseointegration period when the implant fuses with your jawbone. For full-arch All-On-X, you leave your surgery day with a complete temporary bridge, and the final zirconia restoration is placed approximately 3 to 5 months later. The process is faster than most patients expect because you never have to go without teeth at any point during treatment.

Question 9

What if I am afraid of the dentist or have dental anxiety?

Accepted Answer

You are in the right place. Dental anxiety affects nearly 60% of adults, and it is one of the most common reasons patients delay implant treatment for years. At Arvada Dental Center & Implants, we offer 4 levels of sedation, from local anesthesia to nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation, all customized to your comfort level. Dr. Bennett is Moderate IV Sedation Certified and our team monitors your vital signs continuously throughout sedation. IV sedation is included in All-On-X, Zirconia Fixed Bridge, and Zygomatic implant treatment. Most patients describe the experience as going to sleep and waking up with new teeth.

Question 10

What makes Arvada Dental Center & Implants different from other implant practices?

Accepted Answer

Three things set us apart. First, experience. Dr. Gregory Bennett has placed over 5,000 dental implants in 24+ years and is recognized as a Top Dentist by 5280 Magazine. He performs zygomatic, pterygoid, and trans-sinus techniques that very few dentists in the country offer. Second, in-house everything. We handle every stage under one roof, including 3D CBCT imaging, surgery, IV sedation, and final restoration fabrication in our on-site dental lab. No outside referrals, no waiting on outside labs, no surprise costs. Third, pricing transparency. Our prices include the implants, IV sedation, temporary bridge, and final zirconia restoration. We do not charge extra for placing 5, 6, 7, or 8 implants instead of 4. Your case is backed by our 5-Year Assurance Warranty and extended Zirconia Warranty.
