Dental Implants In Wichita, KS

The easy and permanent solution for missing teeth you've been looking for!

What Are Dental Implants?

The most advanced way to regain and maintain a healthy smile.

Dental implants are the modern, conservative solution for the age-old problems of missing teeth and loose, unstable dentures.

Replacing missing teeth is very important for protecting the health of your teeth, gums, and jaw. If missing teeth are not replaced, it can cause surrounding teeth to drift out of place and deterioration of the underlying bone.

Unstable dentures are uncomfortable to wear and make it hard to eat or speak – sometimes resulting in embarrassing slippage. Dental implants are the perfect solution.

Here’s how they work:

  • Titanium post: Our Wichita implant dentist places a durable titanium post securely within the jawbone. After this post has integrated with the bone, which usually takes from three to six months, he can place the abutment.
  • Abutment: Dr. Farmer will put on the abutment, which is a short metal cap that serves as the foundation that holds the crown restoration.
  • Crown: A beautiful and durable crown restoration is attached to the abutment. Your new tooth will look and function just like your natural teeth!

Why Our Patients Love Dental Implants

And why we know you will too!
Conservative

Dental implants keep a one tooth problem - a one tooth problem! There's no need to modify surrounding healthy teeth to place it, which a dental bridge would require.

Saves Time

Placing dental implants takes only a few visits to our office and prevents the need for further procedures. We do the entire procedure right here, so need to bounce around to other offices.

Look and Feel Natural

Dental implants restore your teeth to full function again. The crown restoration is custom designed to match the shape and color of your natural teeth. Your implant will look and feel very natural.

Long-Lasting

Titanium is extremely durable, and dental crowns are not subject to decay, unlike natural teeth. With a good oral hygiene routine, you will be able to enjoy your implants for decades.

Prevent Bone Loss

When you lose a tooth, it is also common to lose bone density. Implants replace the missing tooth root and protect the bone from further deterioration and additional tooth loss down the road.

Look Younger

Missing teeth and eventual bone loss affect the support of facial muscles, causing a "sunk-in" look and wrinkles. Implants ensure continued facial support and a more youthful appearance.

  • Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

    Just about anyone who has missing teeth can use dental implants to restore their smile.

    The requirements for a successful implant procedure include:

    The patient has generally good health
    There is no presence of periodontal disease
    Sufficient healthy bone tissue exists to support an implant
    Our dentists will perform a thorough exam and let you know if dental implants are the right option for you!

  • Are dental implants safe?
    Yes, they are.

    Dental implants are made of a biocompatible material that does not degrade, and dental crowns are not vulnerable to decay like natural teeth are.

    Additionally, dental implants are the only restorative procedure that stimulates the growth of healthy bone tissue, protecting the health of your teeth and gums.

  • Is the procedure painful?

    A numbing agent is used throughout your procedure to keep your treatment pain-free.

    The procedure itself takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes, and we will monitor your comfort closely the whole time. Our patients report they experience very little post-surgical discomfort, which can usually be cared for with over-the-counter medication.

  • Are dental implants expensive?
    As a dental treatment that completely replaces a missing tooth from root to crown and offers years of use, implants are very cost-effective!

    We accept most dental insurances and will file claims on your behalf. We also accept CareCredit financing – an independent financing company that allows you to make affordable monthly payments.

    We want you to get the best treatment possible and we will work with you to help you get it!
