The kind of surgical training most dentists around here simply don't pursue.
Cases requiring comprehensive planning.
Every implant starts with a full CBCT scan. No guessing.
And he still takes time with every single patient.
An implant isn't a quick fix. It's a piece of titanium that's supposed to stay in your jaw for the rest of your life. So yeah, I want to know exactly what's going on in there before I place anything. That's why we scan everything first.
Dr. Benjamin Baranes
We take a 3D scan of your jaw, look at bone density, check your gums. You walk out with a plan and a price. No cost, no strings.
Titanium post goes into the jawbone. Local anesthesia. Takes about an hour, sometimes two. Sedation available if you'd rather not be fully aware.
The implant fuses with your bone over 3 to 6 months. We put a temporary crown on so you're never walking around with a gap.
Custom-made, color-matched. Clicks into place. From this point, it's basically a natural tooth that you brush and floss like everything else.
Not sure where you stand? The consultation is free. Dr. Baranes checks bone, gums, health history, and gives you a straight answer on what's realistic for your situation.

Surgery sounds intense. We know. Here's the thing: most patients say the anticipation was way worse than the actual procedure. Sedation available. We go at your speed. And you can stop us at any point.
Learn about Sedation DentistryHonestly? Most patients say no. You're numb the whole time. Afterward, there's some soreness, nothing ibuprofen can't handle. And if you'd rather not feel anything at all, sedation is on the table.
The whole thing takes about 4 to 8 months, start to finish. The surgery itself is an hour or two. The wait is mostly your bone fusing with the implant. We put a temp crown on so you're covered in the meantime.
That happens. Bone grafting can rebuild what's missing. Dr. Baranes does it in-house. It adds some time, but it makes the implant possible when it otherwise wouldn't be.
With basic upkeep (brushing, flossing, regular checkups), we're talking 20 years or more. Plenty of patients keep theirs for life. The crown on top might need a swap after 10–15 years, but the implant itself holds.
Short answer: yes. Dentures need replacing every 5–7 years and come with a pile of maintenance. An implant is a one-time investment that, with care, outlasts everything else by a wide margin.
He holds an Implantology Fellowship: advanced surgical training that most general dentists in Centennial don't have. He places the implant, follows your healing, and does the crown. One doctor, one office, start to finish.
Free consultation. Honest pricing. No pressure to decide on the spot.
