Dental implants in Lexington are by far the best option for permanently replacing missing teeth. In just one year, over 5 million dental implants are placed in patients’ mouths to restore their smiles, making them one of the most popular tooth replacement treatments available. Using cutting-edge technology and techniques, our team at Lexington Smile Studio can help provide you with a smile that looks and feels 100% natural. Call us today to schedule a consultation and learn more.
Dental implants are titanium posts that are designed to replace the missing root structure of teeth, a feat that no other restorative dental treatment is able to do, allowing patients to enjoy results that are beneficial for their health and confidence. Due to their biocompatibility, dental implants are able to fuse with the jawbone to keep it from deteriorating over time, helping preserve the facial structure and even prevent further tooth loss.
Dental implants offer a host of benefits that makes them a top choice among patients dealing with tooth loss in Lexington. In addition to offering an average lifespan that’s four times longer than traditional restorations like dentures, dental implants are as close as you can get to having your natural teeth back. They can restore up to 80% of your original bite power and provide unmatched stability that makes it easier to eat and speak, among other advantages.
Depending on the location of your missing teeth, Dr. Gatti and our team at Lexington Smile Studio may recommend any of the following treatment pathways to restore your smile.
For a single missing tooth, we can secure one dental implant below the gumline and into the jawbone. This will act as an anchor for a customized free-standing dental crown to be attached to, filling the space in your row of teeth.
If you’re missing several teeth, depending on their locations, our team may recommend either one implant bridge or a combination of implant bridges and implant crowns. As opposed to traditional dental bridges, implant bridges are anchored within the mouth to two dental implants placed at either side of the gap in your arch.
If you’re missing an entire row of teeth, our team can anchor a full denture to anywhere from four to eight dental implants surgically placed below the gumline. This means that you’ll no longer have to worry about instability or shifting restorations because they will be permanently affixed within your mouth.
The cost of dental implants in Lexington can vary quite a bit. At your initial consultation, once our team has determined how many implants you need and what type of restoration you require, we will provide you with a cost estimate.
