Dental Implants Near Lakewood, Colorado
Replacing a missing tooth is a long-term decision, so Lakewood, Colorado patients should know the plan and the price up front. At Vivid Smiles in Parker, Dr. Bryce Richardson maps each case on a CBCT scan, places implants with robotic guidance, and restores them in-house, with all-inclusive pricing published before your first visit.
Published prices, before your first visit
Dental implants replace the tooth root as well as the visible tooth, which is why they help preserve the jawbone in a way bridges and dentures can’t. Vivid Smiles lists all-inclusive pricing so Lakewood patients can budget before making the trip.
Single tooth implant
Replaces one missing tooth without altering the teeth beside it.
Full mouth implants
Four to six implants per arch supporting a fixed, non-removable bridge.
All-on-4 single arch
A full arch on four implants, with same-day provisional teeth and a milled zirconia prosthesis.
Financing is available through Proceed Finance, CareCredit, and Cherry. Uninsured patients can also use the in-house membership plan. Implant-supported bridges are priced at consultation.
Four phases, one provider
Consult & 3D planning
A CBCT scan maps your bone, and Dr. Richardson sets exact implant positions before surgery.
Robotic placement
Robotic guidance carries out the planned position. Sedation options are available.
Healing
The implant fuses with the jawbone over 3 to 6 months. Temporary teeth are available for visible sites.
Final restoration
Your crown, bridge, or arch is scanned and milled in-house, then secured. See the full implant process.

Dr. Richardson’s implant trainingImplant questions from Lakewood
Does Vivid Smiles have an office in Lakewood?
No. Vivid Smiles has one office, at 17167 Cedar Gulch Pkwy Ste 102 in Parker, Colorado. Lakewood patients travel to Parker for implant care and can start with a complimentary virtual consultation.
What is robotic implant placement?
Dr. Richardson plans each implant on a CBCT scan, then robotic guidance places it in that exact position. That precision matters most in full-arch cases, where small errors add up across the jaw.
Are implants better than a bridge?
A bridge fills the gap but doesn't replace the root, so it can't prevent bone loss, and it requires grinding down healthy neighboring teeth. Implants replace the root and leave adjacent teeth alone.
Is there an age limit for dental implants?
No. Candidacy depends on bone density, gum health, and overall health, not age. Well-controlled conditions such as diabetes don't rule you out.
Will insurance cover dental implants?
Coverage varies. Many plans cover the crown even when placement isn't covered. The team verifies your benefits before treatment, and uninsured patients can use the in-house membership plan.
