At **Collective Health Society** in Centennial, CO, we offer advanced, metal-free (Zirconia) and biocompatible options to restore not just your smile, but your ability to chew nutrient-dense foods properly. Serving the entire **Denver Metro** area, we help you regain confidence and health. ## Stability Restored ## 300% Increase in bite force compared to traditional adhesive dentures. ## 98% Success rate of guided implant placement for denture retention. ## 0 Slips or movement while eating, speaking, or laughing. ## Digestion Starts Here Loose dentures restrict your diet to soft, processed foods, leading to nutritional deficiencies and systemic decline. In biological dentistry, we know that proper chewing is the first step of digestion. Implant-retained dentures allow you to eat fibrous vegetables, nuts, and proteins again, supporting your gut health and immune system. They also stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss and facial collapse associated with missing teeth. - Eat apples, steak, and salads again - Prevent “sunken” facial appearance - Improve digestion and nutrient absorption - Eliminate messy, toxic adhesives - Boost confidence in social situations We serve patients from across Denver who want to reclaim their lifestyle and nutritional health. ## Benefits of Implant Stability ### Unmatched Security Your dentures snap securely onto the implants. You can speak, laugh, and sneeze without fear of embarrassment or the need for denture glue. ### Biocompatible Options We specialize in metal-free Zirconia implants for patients with metal sensitivities. These ceramic implants are white, aesthetic, and completely inert in the body. ### Taste Your Food Because the implants hold the denture in place, we can often remove the plastic that covers the roof of your mouth (palate), allowing you to taste food fully again. ## Advanced Solutions We offer a range of options tailored to your bone health, budget, and biological needs. ### Zirconia (Ceramic) Implants The premium biological choice. These metal-free implants are hypoallergenic, promote healthier gum tissue, and will not corrode or release ions into the body. ### Snap-On Overdentures A cost-effective solution where your denture “snaps” onto 2-4 implants. It provides excellent stability while still being removable for easy cleaning. ### All-on-X Fixed Arch A permanent, non-removable solution where a full bridge of teeth is screwed onto 4-6 implants. It feels and functions closest to natural teeth. ### Computer-Guided Surgery We use 3D CBCT data to create surgical guides, ensuring implants are placed with sub-millimeter accuracy for faster healing and optimal long-term support. ### PRF Healing Therapy We use Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) derived from your own blood to concentrate growth factors at the surgical site, accelerating bone integration and tissue healing. ### Ozone Disinfection Before placing any implant, we sterilize the bone site with ozone gas to kill bacteria and ensure a clean, pathogen-free environment for integration. ### Biocompatible Resins For the denture/bridge itself, we select high-quality, dense materials that resist staining, bacterial absorption, and release fewer monomers than cheap acrylics. ### Sedation Dentistry We offer various sedation options to ensure your implant procedure is completely comfortable and anxiety-free. ## Your Path to ## Stability 1 ## 3D Planning & Consultation We take a CBCT scan to evaluate your bone volume and nerves. We plan the exact position of every implant digitally before surgery. 2 ## Implant Placement Using the surgical guide, Dr. Katie Lee places the implants. This is often minimally invasive and done under sedation for your comfort. 3 ## Healing & Integration The implants need 3-6 months to fuse with your jawbone (osseointegration). You will wear a temporary denture during this time so you are never without teeth. 4 ## Final Restoration Once healed, we attach your custom-designed final denture or bridge. You’ll leave with a secure, beautiful smile ready for a steak dinner. ## Structured data ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": [ "Dentist", "MedicalClinic" ], "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/#organization", "name": "Collective Health Society", "url": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/", "logo": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/main_logo-600.avif", "image": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/main_logo-600.avif", "telephone": "+1-303-223-2343", "email": "patients@collectivehealthsociety.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "6886 S Yosemite St. Suite #100", "addressLocality": "Centennial", "addressRegion": "CO", "postalCode": "80112", "addressCountry": "US" }, "hasMap": "https://maps.app.goo.gl/nbQTQFPU5avF18s36", "openingHoursSpecification": [ { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": [ "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday" ], "opens": "08:00", "closes": "17:00" }, { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": "Friday", "opens": "07:00", "closes": "13:00" } ], "medicalSpecialty": [ "Dentistry", "DietNutrition", "Gynecologic" ], "isAcceptingNewPatients": true, "areaServed": [ "Centennial CO", "Denver Metro Area" ], "description": "Biological dentistry and functional healthcare practice in Centennial, Colorado (Denver metro): whole-body dentistry, functional wellness, sleep & airway therapy, and advanced diagnostics under one roof.", "sameAs": [ "https://www.linkedin.com/company/collective-health-society", "https://www.facebook.com/people/Collective-Health-Society/61575273032928/" ], "founder": { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/about/#person-katie-lee" }, "employee": [ { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/about/#person-katie-lee" }, { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/functional-wellness/#person-jaci-salley" }, { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/functional-wellness/womens-health-care/#person-kristina-schieferecke" }, { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/sleep-airway/myofunctional-therapy/#person-jessica-cordell" }, { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/cosmetic-dentistry/#person-jay-ohmes" } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/#website", "name": "Collective Health Society", "url": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/", "publisher": { "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://www.collectivehealthsociety.com/about/#person-katie-lee", "name": "Dr. Katie Lee", "alternateName": "Katie Lee, DDS", "givenName": "Katie", "familyName": "Lee", "honorificSuffix": "DDS", "jobTitle": "Founder & Dentist", "description": "Dr. Katie Lee is a dentist, author, and the founder of Collective Health Society.
