Dental Implants

Do you struggle with gaps caused by missing teeth? Are you tired of wearing either partial or complete dentures? Looking for a permanent solution? Then, consider our implant dentistry options here at Ley Dentistry in Indianapolis.

Dental Implants can be used in a variety of ways to improve your oral health and quality of life:

• Implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth, acting as the root in which a porcelain crown is attached to look and feel like the original tooth.
• If you have a removable partial denture, dental implants can replace multiple teeth in order to eliminate the need for your partial denture.
• Implants can attach a partial or complete denture to stabilize a poor fitting denture. Your partial or complete denture will snap onto the implants, giving you more chewing power as well as more confidence in social situations so that you don’t have to worry about your denture moving around or falling out.
• They can create a fixed denture in which multiple implants will be placed and your denture will be permanently attached to the dental implants to eliminate the need for a removable denture.

Dental implants consist of a small, durable titanium rod that is surgically placed in the jaw bone, acting much like the root of a healthy tooth as well as an attached artificial tooth. Dental implants are a permanent tooth-restoration solution, giving you a natural-looking smile for years to come. With a 99% success rate, dental implants are strong, durable, and prove the test of time. Dental implants can last a lifetime, needing only small adjustments at our Indy office from time to time.

Here is what you can expect from the process of implant dentistry:

• First, the implant dentist will take X-rays and impressions of your jaw and teeth to determine the best fit for your dental implants and develop your individual treatment plan.
• Next, the dental implant will be placed in your jaw.
• After the implant is placed, the implant dentist will then permanently attach the artificial tooth to the implant, completing your dental implants procedure.
• Before you leave our Indianapolis office with your new dental implants, we will also give you detailed instructions on how to best clean and care for your new tooth restoration.

If you reside in the Carmel or Indianapolis area, you can begin your implant dentistry journey by setting up an appointment to discuss dental implants. An implant dentist can help you decide whether dental implants are the right decision for you.
