One Stop Dental Implants
Dr. Kimmelman’s high-tech dental implants are affordable, quick, and efficient. Patients of our downtown Colorado Springs dental office are amazed at how easily and quickly artificial teeth can be placed and are pleased to know they usually do not need a new set of upper or lower dentures. The financial investment necessary to regain chewing and speaking ability with added confidence costs much less, with only two dental implants needed.
What are dental implants used for?
Dental implants are perfect for loose dentures or people wanting to remove the palate cover on upper dentures. Your denture will snap in and out when you want, saving you the embarrassment of your teeth popping out in public. Being able to get rid of the acrylic covering the palate of the mouth improves how you speak and how you taste foods. Dental implants also improve patients’ chewing ability. Better chewing and proper nutrition can dramatically improve one’s life.
Advantages of dental implants
- Quick and easy one-step surgery
- You can eat immediately; no downtime necessary
- Placing the implants in the upper allows you to get rid of the palate, improving your speech and the way you taste foods.
- Laugh or sneeze without your teeth popping out
- No more messy adhesives needed
- Only local anesthetic is necessary (just like having a filling done)
- Artificial teeth help to stop bone resorption
Dentures are firmly snapped into place with Mini dental implants, and your existing dentures can be used in most cases. Unlike other dentists, who handle only a portion of the implant, Dr. Kimmelman personally performs the entire implant procedure- from inserting a titanium tooth root to fitting the dentures, with Cat Scan precision. To ensure the best possible placement and results, he invested in a 3D CT scanner, regarded as state-of-the-art for implant procedures.

Chewing ability with dentures is not the same as natural teeth; many people find eating some of their favorite foods difficult. Dental implants make it possible to eat nuts, fruits, and vegetables again without pain and irritation.
Speaking is also a problem for denture wearers. Pronouncing words with “L,” “Th,” and “S”, like “life,” “things,” and “seventy-seven,” is more difficult due to the palate being covered with acrylic. Mini Dental implants make it possible to remove the upper palate and speak clearly again easily.
Confidence is lost when Dentures loosen or fall out while speaking, laughing, or sneezing, causing many to cover their mouths if they laugh or smile. Mini Dental implants give you confidence to go ahead and show your smile in any situation.
Lower dentures are hard to keep in for some people due to bone loss and tongue movement. Implants can be placed to solve this problem. Dental implants are placed in the lower jaw so that the denture “snaps” onto the implants, holding the denture firmly in place.
For difficult areas in the mouth, multiple implants, and patients with little bone, cat scan-assisted implant planning is an option. The cat scan allows the implants to be placed virtually in the jaw to achieve the ideal placement in the mouth.
