A gap in your smile can affect more than just your appearance. It can impact your confidence, your ability to chew properly, and even the health of your other teeth. If you’re looking for a permanent and natural-feeling solution, it’s time to consider dental implants. At Dental Designs of Owensboro, we specialize in restoring smiles and confidence for our community in Owensboro, Philpot, and Whitesville.
Led by our expert team of Dr. Wes Booker, Dr. Katie Higdon, and Dr. Whitney Thompson, we provide state-of-the-art dental care designed to last. Let’s explore how dental implants can bring back the full look and function of your smile.
How Dental Implants Restore Your Smile
Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are a comprehensive tooth replacement solution that mimics the structure of a natural tooth. The process involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a new tooth root. This post fuses with the bone over time, creating an incredibly strong and stable foundation.
Once the implant is secure, a custom-made crown is attached. This crown is meticulously crafted to match the color, size, and shape of your surrounding teeth, blending seamlessly into your smile. The result is a replacement tooth that not only looks real but feels and functions like one, too. You can eat your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile without hesitation. Implants also help preserve jawbone health, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for many people, but they may not be suitable for everyone. This treatment could be the perfect choice for you if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth.
- Possess adequate jawbone density to support the implant post.
- Maintain good overall oral health with healthy gums.
- Are a non-smoker or are willing to stop smoking during the healing process.
- Are looking for a long-term, permanent solution to tooth loss.
- Want to restore your ability to chew and speak with ease.
The best way to determine your candidacy is through a personal consultation. At Dental Designs of Owensboro, Dr. Booker, Dr. Higdon, and Dr. Thompson will perform a thorough examination, including digital imaging, to assess your unique needs. We are dedicated to creating a personalized treatment plan that helps you achieve a healthy, complete smile.
