Missing teeth are an occurrence faced by many people at one time or another during their lives. The Adler Dental Implant Dentistry Practice in Boulder offers dental implants as a solution. They’ve been around and a part of restorative dental practices for about 30 years. Many improvements to implant techniques have been made during that time including placement methods and in implant materials that affect longevity and esthetic quality. For those unfamiliar with dental implants they’re made of ultra-strong titanium formed in a screw-like shape.

Dental implants work especially well for restoration where a single tooth is missing, or when several teeth or a whole arch of teeth are missing. In addition to stabilizing the restoration that’s attached on top of the implant, dental implants stimulate bone growth around the implant. That’s good since when a tooth (or teeth) are missing, the gums and bone it was formerly attached to are no longer stimulated by the blood supply and activity of the missing tooth, leading to further deterioration. The surrounding bone and gums can “reabsorb” or actually melt away. Problems can also occur with the opposing tooth (on the opposite jaw) that no longer has its counterpart to “bite against,” and so may grow in the direction of the missing tooth.

The dental implant process begins with a surgical procedure with an implant (or implants) placed directly in the jawbone and under the guns. The implants then remain in place to allow the bone to grow around the implant. About four to six months later the implant is uncovered from under the gums and an “abutment” or implant post is connected to it. The gums are then given time to heal around the abutment. About a month later the final tooth restoration is custom-made to fit onto it. This restoration can be a crown, bridge or denture.

About Lafayette, Colorado
The City of Lafayette is a Home Rule Municipality located in Boulder County, Colorado, United States. The United States Census Bureau estimates that the city population was 23,884 on 2005-07-01.

Lafayette was founded in 1878 by Mary Miller. She and her husband, Lafayette Miller, had moved to the area to farm land acquired via the Homestead Act in 1871. In 1874 the Millers moved to Boulder. Lafayette Miller ran a butcher shop and was a town trustee. Lafayette Miller died in 1878, after which Mary Miller moved back to the farm with their six small children. In 1884 coal was discovered on the Miller farm and in 1887 John Simpson sank the first shaft, thereby starting the coal mining era. In 1888 Mary Miller designated 150 acres (0.61 km2) of the farm for the town of Lafayette, which she named after her late husband. In July 1888 a second mine, the Cannon, went into operation and the first houses were built. On January 6, 1890, the town of Lafayette was incorporated. As stipulated in the original town deeds, no alcohol was sold east of what is now known as Public Road.

Today Lafayette is a thriving community with the cultural and commercial center still found in the revitalized Old Town District, especially along Public Road.
