A Permanent Solution for a Confident, Healthy Smile

Missing teeth can impact not only your appearance but also your ability to eat, speak, and maintain overall oral health. At Midtown Dental Center in Paducah, KY, we offer state-of-the-art dental implant solutions to restore your smile with strength, stability, and a natural look. Whether you need to replace a single missing tooth or require a full-arch solution, Dr. Adam Perry and our team are here to help you regain confidence in your smile.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard for tooth replacement because they:

✔ Look, feel, and function like natural teeth
✔ Prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone
✔ Provide a secure, long-lasting solution
✔ Improve overall oral health by preventing shifting of surrounding teeth
✔ Restore confidence by creating a complete, natural-looking smile

Single Tooth Implants: The Closest Alternative to Natural Teeth

If you’re missing a single tooth, a dental implant provides the most natural and durable replacement. This process involves surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a custom-made dental crown is placed on top, completing your smile.

Benefits of a Single Tooth Implant:

• No need to alter or rely on neighboring teeth, as with a traditional bridge
• Preserves bone structure and prevents facial sagging
• Offers superior durability compared to dentures or bridges

Implant-Supported Dentures: A Secure, Comfortable Alternative to Traditional Dentures

For patients missing multiple teeth or an entire arch, implant dentures provide a stable and functional replacement. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and may shift or slip, implant-supported dentures are anchored securely to dental implants, offering enhanced stability and comfort.

Types of Implant Dentures:

• Fixed Implant Dentures (All-on-4 or All-on-X) – A full set of teeth attached permanently to implants, offering a non-removable, natural-feeling solution.
  
  
• Snap-In Dentures (Overdentures) – These dentures snap onto implants, providing added stability while remaining removable for easy cleaning.

Advantages of Implant Dentures:
✔ No slipping, shifting, or discomfort from ill-fitting dentures
✔ Improved ability to eat and speak naturally
✔ Reduces bone loss and maintains facial structure
✔ Long-term durability compared to traditional dentures

The Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants is a multi-step process designed to ensure long-term success:

1. Consultation & Evaluation – Dr. Perry will assess your oral health, bone density, and overall candidacy for implants.
   
   
2. Implant Placement – The titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone and left to heal and integrate with the bone.
   
   
3. Healing Period (Osseointegration) – Over a few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone to create a stable foundation.
   
   
4. Abutment & Restoration Placement – A small connector (abutment) is placed, followed by a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

Most patients with good oral health and sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. If you’ve been considering an alternative to traditional dentures or bridges, we invite you to schedule a consultation to discuss your options.
