Dental Implants

When a missing tooth starts to affect your daily routine—from enjoying meals to speaking clearly—it’s time for a solution that goes beyond temporary patches. At Central Kentucky Dentistry, we specialize in dental implants that rebuild your smile from the roots up.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as replacement roots for missing teeth. Once placed in the jawbone, they provide a secure base for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Because they mimic the structure of natural teeth, implants offer a reliable and lasting solution.

The Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants begins with a consultation to assess your oral health and discuss your goals. Once we determine you’re a good candidate, we’ll gently place the implant post into the jaw. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone and creates a stable foundation.

After healing, we make and attach a custom-made crown to the implant to bring back the look and feel of a natural tooth. Throughout the process, we use advanced technology to keep your care precise, gentle, and comfortable.

Why Patients Choose Dental Implants

  • Built to Last: When cared for properly, dental implants can remain strong and functional for many years, often a lifetime.
  • Looks Like Your Own Teeth: The replacement teeth are custom-made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless smile.
  • Preserves Jaw Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss. They also keep surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap left by a missing tooth, which preserves your bite.
  • Feels Comfortable Every Day: Because implants are securely anchored in your jaw, they won’t shift, slip, or cause discomfort like dentures sometimes do.
  • Keeps Your Other Teeth Healthy: Unlike dental bridges, implants don’t require grinding down nearby healthy teeth.
