If you're dealing with missing teeth and want a long-term solution, permanent dental implants might be exactly what you need. At Georgetown Sedation Dentistry in Georgetown, Kentucky, we help patients from across the Georgetown and Lexington area restore their smiles with natural-looking, long-lasting dental implants. Our approach is simple, effective, and focused on helping you feel comfortable throughout the process.
What Are Permanent Dental Implants?
Permanent dental implants are small titanium posts placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Once the implant heals and fuses with the bone—a process called osseointegration—it becomes a strong base for a crown, bridge, or denture. Unlike removable options like dentures, implants are fixed in place, providing a more secure and realistic solution.
Whether you're missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants can be customized to meet your specific needs. Many patients choose implants because they offer stability and function similar to natural teeth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
There are several reasons more people are turning to dental implants over traditional bridges or dentures. Here are just a few of the benefits:
Long-Term Reliability
Dental implants are designed to last for many years. With good oral hygiene and routine dental visits, they can last decades without needing to be replaced.
Natural Look and Feel
Implants are carefully crafted to blend in with the rest of your teeth. Most people won’t even know you’ve had dental work done.
Improved Function
Since implants are anchored to your jawbone, they won’t shift or slip. You’ll be able to eat and speak with ease—without worrying about your teeth moving around.
Supports Jaw Health
Tooth loss often leads to bone loss in the jaw. Implants help prevent that by stimulating the jawbone, keeping your facial structure intact.
What to Expect at Georgetown Sedation Dentistry
When you visit Georgetown Sedation Dentistry, our team will take the time to understand your situation and goals. Here's a general overview of the implant process:
Consultation and Evaluation – We’ll examine your mouth, take digital X-rays, and determine if you’re a good candidate for implants.
Implant Placement – The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. This procedure is done in-office and is usually easier than people expect.
Healing and Integration – Over the next few months, the implant bonds with the bone, creating a solid foundation.
Final Restoration – Once healed, we place a custom-made crown or denture that matches your natural smile.
We also offer sedation options to make the process more relaxing. Whether you feel a little nervous or experience dental anxiety, we have solutions to help you feel at ease.
