Dental Implants can be an excellent solution for patients who are missing teeth. Dental implants can help restore your ability to eat, chew, and speak comfortably. Your Lexington dentist, Dr. Morgan Chambers, offers dental implants at his office as a durable, natural-looking option for patients with missing teeth.
Dental Implants are an innovative addition to the world of dentistry. Affordable dental implants can be used to secure dental bridges, modern dental crowns, and dentures, providing a stable foundation for your missing-teeth replacement. Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. Restorative dentist, Dr. Chambers, requires patients to have a strong jawbone to be a good candidate for dental implants, so during your consultation, she will thoroughly examine your mouth, teeth, gums, and jawbone to determine if dental implants are right for you.
Affordable Dental Implants
Dr. Chambers is an experienced dentist, committed to providing patients with complete, comprehensive dental treatments. Patients can lose teeth due to gum disease, trauma, poor oral hygiene, and tooth decay. It is imperative that patients find a tooth replacement option as soon as possible because missing teeth can cause patients to feel less confident in their smile, have difficulties eating and chewing, and may result in further bone loss in the jaw.
Some patients may use dentures or dental bridges as replacement options, which can be an excellent choice for some. For others, dental bridges and dentures don’t give them the durability and natural look they desire. Dental implants preserve the jawbone, aren’t prone to decay, and look and function like your regular teeth. Dental implants allow patients to function normally and help restore the confidence they once had in their smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
- convenience
- durability
- cost effective

How It’s Done: Dental Implants
Receiving a dental implant takes time, skill, and expert treatment planning. Dr. Chambers takes the time to examine your smile and develop a treatment plan that is right for you. If you a good candidate for dental implants, Dr. Chambers may surgically implant you dental implant or work in close collaboration with a local oral surgeon to ensure your dental implant is attached properly. Each patient is different and may require a different kind of implantation process. Either way, patients can expect beautiful, natural-looking results.
Once the dental implant fuses with your jawbone, which can take anywhere from 3-6 months, your final restoration will then be attached to your dental implants. Dr. Chambers may suggest implant-secured dental bridges, implant-secured dentures, or crowns. Dr. Chambers will discuss which option is right for you before the dental implant fuses with your jawbone. With proper care, your dental implant restoration can last a lifetime.
