The Permanent Tooth Replacement That Looks and Functions Like the Real Thing

Dental implants at Black Diamond Dental are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth in Pagosa Springs.

What Are Dental Implants?

Looking for dental implants in Pagosa Springs? At Black Diamond Dental, Dr. Justin Nylund provides implant restorations that deliver the most natural-looking, longest-lasting tooth replacement available in modern dentistry. A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a stable, permanent anchor for a custom-crafted crown.

 

Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and do not require removal for cleaning. They stimulate the jawbone just like a natural tooth root, preventing bone loss and helping maintain the structure of your face. For patients who qualify, implants are often the closest thing to growing a new tooth.

Why Consider Dental Implants

Permanent and Stable
Once healed, an implant feels and functions exactly like a natural tooth.

 

Preserves Jawbone
The titanium root stimulates the bone, preventing the deterioration that follows tooth loss.

 

Does Not Affect Neighboring Teeth
No healthy teeth need to be altered or relied on for support.

 

Easy to Maintain
Brush and floss normally — no special soaking solutions or removal required.

 

Designed to Last a Lifetime
With proper care, a dental implant can last for decades.

 

Natural Appearance
The custom crown is matched precisely to the color and shape of your surrounding teeth.
