Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Implants with Lexington, Kentucky Dentist Anthony Feck, DMD
Randy Alvarez, host of The Wellness Hour, interviews Lexington, Kentucky General and Cosmetic Dentist, Anthony Feck, DDS about dental implants.
Dental implants are the best option for replacing missing teeth and can, with minimally-invasive techniques, restore your smile, your confidence and your oral health. There are 3 parts to a dental implant: the titanium implant that fuses with the jawbone; the abutment that fits over the implant; and the final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture).OsteoReady implant techniques, unlike traditional implant techniques, require fewer instruments and rarely require surgical procedures, therefore resulting in less healing time. Some advantages of the implants placed at Corporate Center Dental Care are:
- Implants are placed in as little as seven minutes per implant.
- The general healing time is three months.
- There is little to no post-operative pain.
- Fewer appointments are required.
- Implants improve your oral health and you can enjoy your favorite foods again.
Implant-retained teeth never slip, make embarrassing noises or decay. Implants can look like natural teeth and perform the same role: allowing you to chew, smile and laugh freely. Whether it is one tooth you are looking to replace or to help your denture fit and feel better, implants are a permanent solution.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
Single Tooth ImplantsDental implants start at about $1,800 for a single-tooth implant with a crown. Pricing varies and depends on the materials being used.Look for a dentist that has a lot of experience with dental implants. When they recommend options for replacing missing teeth with dental implants, make sure you ask them how many times they have performed the procedures on others, how often they do it and if they teach the subject. Ask them how many continuing education hours they have dedicated to taking dental implant training courses and when was the last time they attended one.Full Set of Dental ImplantsTo replace a full set of upper or lower teeth, the cost can start from $15,000 to $35,000 per arch of teeth. Financing is available for these procedures. The goal is to get it done right the first time. Choose a dentist with a great bedside manner and a lot of experience with dental implants. This is an expensive procedure, but worth every penny, according to patients. You use your mouth all day, every day. It’s much more important than any new car or truck.
