🦷 DENTAL IMPLANT FACTS: DID YOU KNOW?

Dental implants do more than replace a missing tooth. Here are a few things you may not know:

🔩 An implant replaces the tooth root—not just the tooth.
The implant is placed into the jawbone, where it acts as an artificial root for the new tooth.

🦴 Your bone can actually bond with the implant.
This process is called *osseointegration*. Over time, bone grows closely around the implant surface, creating a strong, stable foundation.

🦷 Missing teeth can lead to bone loss.
Without stimulation from a tooth root, the jawbone in that area can gradually resorb. An implant can help preserve functional loading of the bone.

⏳ The process takes time for a reason.
While some patients may qualify for immediate placement or restoration, others need time for bone grafting and healing before the final tooth is placed.

😁 Implants can replace ONE tooth—or many.
They can support a single crown, a bridge, or a full-arch restoration.

🪥 Implants can’t get cavities—but they still need care.
The gum and bone surrounding an implant can develop inflammation and disease, making brushing, flossing, professional cleanings, and regular exams essential.

A dental implant isn’t simply a replacement tooth. It’s a replacement designed to function from the root up.

Interested in dental implants? Give our office a call to schedule a consultation: 719-264-6070. We would love to help!

🦷 Thinking about wisdom teeth removal? Sooner is usually better than later.

Most people don't realize that wisdom teeth are often easier to remove BEFORE they become a problem.

As the roots continue to develop and the jawbone becomes denser with age, extraction can become more complex and recovery may take longer.

Removing impacted wisdom teeth at the right time can help prevent:

• Pain and swelling
• Damage to neighboring teeth
• Infection and cyst formation
• Crowding and difficult-to-clean areas that increase the risk of decay and gum disease

Many wisdom teeth never fully erupt, making them difficult to clean and allowing bacteria to hide beneath the gums long before symptoms appear.

The good news? A consultation and panoramic X-ray can determine whether your wisdom teeth need to come out now—or if they're best left alone.

Every patient is different, and the right decision starts with an expert evaluation.

If you or your teen has wisdom teeth coming in, now is a great time to schedule a consultation and make a plan before they become an emergency.

This is your sign.

Stop putting off your wisdom teeth! Summer is the perfect time—school is out, schedules are more flexible, and let's be honest...it's probably too hot to do much else anyway.

The procedure is over before you know it, recovery is just a few days for most patients, and then you never have to think about those wisdom teeth again.

You've got this. 💙

📞 Give us a call at 719-264-6070 to schedule your consultation. We'll walk you through every step and help make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Behind every great dad is a camera roll full of proud moments, silly memories, family adventures, and probably a few eye rolls from their kids.

Today, we're celebrating two amazing fathers who spend their days caring for others—whether that's their patients in the office or their children at home. Being a dad means showing up, leading by example, offering a steady hand when it's needed, and creating the kind of memories that last a lifetime.

To Dr. Kunkel and Dr. Listello, thank you for all you do for your families, our team, and our patients. We love seeing this side of you and the special bond you share with your kids.

And to all the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures in our community: thank you for the lessons, the support, the dad jokes, the encouragement, and the unconditional love.

Wishing you a Father's Day filled with family, laughter, and the moments that matter most.
