View On GoogleWhy Choose Dr. Gillette to Provide My Implants?
Dr. Christopher Gillette is a board-certified dentist who can both place your implants and restore them with a custom crown, bridge, or denture. This is a unique benefit of being our patient - most practices must refer the placement or restoration of the implant to an outside practice. However, if you have an especially complex case, Dr. Gillette can coordinate with an area specialist.
Our comprehensive practice provides patients in the greater Denver area a complete dental implant treatment, from planning to the placement of your final restoration. If you are ready to rehabilitate your smile, health, and confidence with dental implants, Dr. Christopher Gillette and the team at Ward Road Dental are here to help you.
A Closer Look at How Dental Implants Work
Dental implant-supported restorations consist of three parts: an implant, a restoration, and a connection device called an abutment that joins the restoration to the implant. The implant fuses to the bone tissue in a process called osseointegration. This fusion ensures that the replacement tooth attached to the implant will remain firmly in place while you chew, speak, or smile. It also allows the implant to provide the stimulation needed to retain bone tissue in the jaw.
We Are Here to Rebuild Your Smile At Ward Road Dental
Dr. Gillette is here to educate you about the state of your oral health, any potential problems that may be on the horizon, and your treatment options. The amount of time you have been suffering with gaps in your smile and the extent of any related damage will guide Dr. Gillette in how to proceed with your unique dental implant treatment.
Dr. Christopher Gillette and his dedicated team of dental professionals are here to help you reach optimal oral health. If dental implants are the best solution, he will take all the time necessary to answer your questions and help you make an informed decision. If another treatment is a better fit, you and Dr. Gillette can explore alternatives. To make the treatment you need affordable, Ward Road Dental accepts all major dental insurance plans as well as CareCredit® financing options.

Our practice works with the state-of-the-art PDA Dental Laboratory in Lafayette, Colorado, to craft all of the biocompatible zirconia dental restorations we offer. This lab takes a number of extra steps, including polishing the ceramic replacement tooth or teeth before and after the glazing process to create a restoration that won't damage the enamel of your surrounding natural teeth. Dr. Gillette provides these world-class restorations in conjunction with implants to help patients with a range of needs:
Implants are especially beneficial for those who need to replace a full dental arch because of the stability they provide. Meanwhile, since implants help retain bone tissue, you can expect to need far fewer adjustments to your dentures.
Do I Qualify for Dental Implants?
During a consultation at our Arvada, CO, office, our dentist can determine your candidacy for dental implant treatment. He will assess your current state of dental health, review your personal medical history, and answer any questions you may have regarding the dental implant process. Your candidacy will depend on:
Bone Density
If you have been missing a tooth or several teeth for a long time, the density of the bone tissue in your jaw may not be able to support an implant. In these cases, Dr. Gillette can perform a bone graft to replace the lost tissue and restore your candidacy.
Smoking
Smoking increases the risk of experiencing implant failure because it inhibits your body's ability to properly heal following surgery. Smokers interested in dental implants need to quit permanently several months before implant surgery.
Healthy Gums
Dental implants require a healthy foundation, and the condition of your gums is a major factor. If you have any extent of gum disease, our Arvada, CO, dentistry practice can provide you with the necessary periodontal treatment using sophisticated laser technology.
Overall Health
Health issues such as uncontrolled diabetes can increase the risks associated with dental implant surgery and inhibit the healing process. Fortunately, patients with their diabetes under control can experience similar success rates to those who do not have diabetes.

View On GoogleAll-on-4®: Restore an Entire Arch in Less Time
Patients in need of a full-arch denture may be candidates for the expedited All-on-4 implant treatment system. This innovative solution for patients missing an entire arch of teeth uses just four strategically placed titanium dental implants that can support a denture immediately following placement. While the front two implants are placed vertically, the back two implants are placed at angles, maximizing contact with the remaining bone tissue. As a result, All-on-4 implants can function with less bone tissue than traditional implants require, so this solution can often eliminate the need for a bone graft.
As with any full-arch treatment, Dr. Gillette works closely with PDA Dental Lab to produce life-like permanent All-on-4 dentures that look and perform like natural teeth. During your private consultation with our dentist, he can help you determine if All-on-4 or traditional dental implants are the best way to rebuild your bite.
Transforming Smiles with Dental Implants
This patient achieved improved oral health and an enhanced appearance thanks to custom-crafted implant-supported dentures provided by Dr. Christopher Gillette.
The Latest Technology For World-Class Results
Dr. Gillette uses the latest technological innovations during each phase of treatment to ensure that your titanium implants provide you with the absolute best benefits. For example, using digital imaging during the planning phase allows our dentist to find the optimal placement positions for your implants. Determining the right locations and angles for these devices minimizes risks while maximizing the likelihood of many decades of healthy smiles. Our entire team, from our office manager to our dentist, is dedicated to helping you experience stellar oral health and a beautiful smile through this landmark treatment.

Will Insurance Cover Dental Implants?
In the vast majority of cases, insurance does not contribute to the cost of dental implants themselves. However, your insurance plan will likely contribute to the cost of your crown, bridge, or denture, as well as any preparatory procedures such as periodontal therapy or tooth decay treatment you may need.
Fortunately, Dr. Gillette and the staff at Ward Road Dental believe in making this potentially life-changing solution accessible to those who need it the most. If you cannot afford to pay for treatment out-of-pocket, our practice can help you coordinate financing through CareCredit®. This third-party lender has helped many patients afford dental implants and other premium treatments through low-interest and interest-free payment plans. During your visit to our office, our friendly staff will be glad to explain this option and help you determine a way to make dental implants a comfortable fit for your budget. Meanwhile, you can count on us to help you achieve maximum coverage of applicable services through your insurance provider.
