Dental Implants in Georgetown, KY

Dental implants are a transformative solution for restoring missing teeth. These implants serve as artificial roots, providing a solid foundation for replacement teeth. They are made of biocompatible materials like titanium and are meticulously designed to integrate with your jawbone, offering unparalleled stability and support for dental restorations.

Dental implants are durable and long-lasting. They preserve bone tissue, maintain facial structure, and ensure long-term stability for your dental restorations. Unlike traditional bridges, implants stand independently, promote overall oral health, and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.

Dental implants offer a superior solution for a complete, healthy smile. If you have any questions about dental implants in Georgetown, KY, please call our office using the button below.

  • What is the procedure for dental implants? Are dental implants safe?

    The process of acquiring dental implants involves several steps. Initially, your dentist will visually examine the area in your mouth where the implant is being considered. Subsequently, our oral surgeon will assess the need for extracting any teeth and determine which type of bone graft is necessary. These procedures are carried out in advance, and we give you ample time to recover to ensure that the bone at the implant site is robust and healthy.

    We place the implant in the bone and cover it with a healing cap. Regular check-ups and aftercare are recommended to ensure proper healing and implant placement. Our team is dedicated to providing the best care and answering any questions you may have. We’re excited to help you achieve a beautiful smile with dental implants.

  • What types of dental implants exist?

    There are two types of dental implants that are commonly used – endosteal implants and all-on-4 implants. Endosteal implants are the most popular implant option. They consist of a titanium metal rod that is inserted into the jawbone along with a supporting post that holds either a dental crown or a dental bridge in place. All-on-4 implants are an innovative dental implant system where only four implants support a complete top or bottom denture. Each implant is strategically placed to ensure the replacement teeth remain stable and secure. The benefit of using four implants is that it helps the patient recover faster and reduces the likelihood of complications from implant failure.

  • What are the benefits of dental implants?

    Tooth loss can cause a lot of difficulties for a person, such as problems in chewing and speaking clearly. If left untreated, it can also lead to serious issues like tooth shifts, jawbone deterioration, facial structure loss, and bite imbalances. These problems usually develop over time when there is no root system to maintain bone health and alignment. However, dental implants can provide an artificial root system to maintain order and keep the remaining teeth aligned. They are not only effective in overcoming short-term challenges but also prevent long-term problems linked to tooth loss. Dental implants serve as an artificial root system for supporting a prosthetic tooth and allow replacement teeth to feel more natural. They are the most effective method for treating tooth loss.
