We believe in the power of a confident smile. Missing teeth can affect your ability to bite and chew, and can diminish your self-esteem. At Dental Wellness of Lexington, we picture a future where everyone smiles without reservations, and dental implants make this possible. As an advanced solution for replacing lost teeth, implants give you back not only your smile but also your confidence and quality of life.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants mimic your natural teeth in every way, providing a foundation that feels secure and looks authentic.
Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. Once placed, they are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth, restoring not just function but aesthetic appeal.
Preservation of Jawbone: When a tooth is lost, your jawbone can deteriorate over time. Implants help maintain the integrity of your jaw, support your facial structure and prevent the sunken appearance associated with tooth loss.
Long-term Satisfaction: Offering a stable solution, implants are durable, and with proper care, can last a lifetime to provide a truly permanent answer to missing teeth.
What Is The Dental Implant Process?
Dental Wellness of Lexington provides a complete, in-house dental implant experience. You will work with the same trusted team throughout your entire treatment for consistency and comfort.
Consultation and Planning: The journey begins with a thorough consultation where our dental experts create a personalized plan tailored to your needs. We consider factors like your jawbone density and oral health to determine the best implant solution for you.
Implant Placement: Our practice utilizes cutting-edge 3D imaging technology to precisely guide your implant placement. This accuracy guarantees your implant is positioned optimally, increasing the success rate and minimizing your healing time.
Healing and Restoration: Following the placement, your body will undergo a healing process known as osseointegration, where your implant fuses with your jawbone to create a sturdy base. Once integrated, we affix the custom-made crown, bridge or denture, tailored to your aesthetic preferences.
Dental implants dramatically transform your everyday life, making ordinary activities like eating and talking effortless and enjoyable once again. One patient stated, “After getting my implants, I felt like I had gained a part of my life back. Being able to bite into an apple with confidence is a joy I never expected to regain.”
You Deserve To Live Pain Free
Dental implants are small, screw-like posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. They provide a stable foundation for fixed or removable prosthetic teeth, offering a solution that looks, feels and functions just like your natural teeth.
Most adults are potential candidates for dental implants. Key considerations include adequate jawbone density and overall oral health. If these are concerns, preliminary treatments such as bone grafts might be required to prepare you for your successful implant placement.
The timeline can vary depending on your needs. Generally, the process involves an initial consultation, implant placement, a healing phase for osseointegration (where the implant fuses with the jawbone), and finally, the attachment of your new tooth. This entire journey can take several months for complete and lasting results.
Dental implants are often considered a cosmetic procedure by insurers, meaning coverage can be limited. However, your plan might cover certain aspects, such as preliminary treatments. At Dental Wellness of Lexington, we work with you to maximize your benefits and offer financing options to make your implants accessible and affordable.
Implant posts are designed to be a permanent part of your mouth. Only the attached prosthetic teeth might be removable, depending on the type you choose. A professional would be required to remove or adjust your implants if necessary.
