If you’ve suffered a tooth loss, it can make even the simplest of tasks more difficult, affecting everything from how you enjoy your favorite meals to the way you smile in pictures and laugh with friends.
But with a multiple or single tooth implant in Overland Park, you don’t have to hide your smile anymore. An easy and thorough treatment, implants leave you with results that look and feel just like your natural teeth. And with proper care, your implants can last a lifetime of smiles.
Read on to learn more about what to expect when you get a dental implant with us at Kansas Family Dental.
Free Consultation
Step into our dental office for your free dental implant consultation. During a short chat, we get to know you and your health history so we can outline your procedure.
This involves asking questions, learning about your dental records and health history, and conducting an oral exam where we evaluate your teeth, gums, and the area where the dental implant will go. Then we explain how the dental implant procedure works and develop a treatment plan that fits your smile.
We then review your treatment options, and for most patients, dental implants are a great solution. From there, we can begin mapping out your procedure by taking a 3D X-ray the same day as your consultation.
3D X-Ray
At Kansas Family Dental, our team takes planning your multiple or single tooth implant in Overland Park to the next level.
Every dental implant case is planned with precision. Using advanced digital technology, we design your treatment, create a 3D-printed surgical guide when necessary, and preview your final result before we even begin—helping deliver the most accurate and predictable outcome possible.
Our advanced CBCT X-ray allows for a quick and painless scan. The whole process takes about 10 to 40 seconds and creates a detailed 3D model, giving us an accurate picture of what your procedure needs to look like.
Implant Procedure
Once we’ve completed your 3D X-ray and planned your procedure, we schedule your first appointment.
The dental implant itself has three main components: the threaded post, abutment, and crown. Through two comfortable and quick surgeries, we implement each element of the implant and get you smiling again within just a few months.
Threaded Post
Think of the threaded post like an artificial tooth root. We use local anesthesia to numb the area and then create a small, precise hole in the jawbone. We then carefully screw the post into the hole and close the incision made in the gums. After your surgery, you may feel mild pain, swelling, and bruising. We offer pain medication to help ease the healing process.
After a few months pass and the threaded post merges with the jawbone, a process called osseointegration, you return to our office for the next phase.
Abutment
After we place your dental implant and healing has progressed, we take a digital scan of the implant site. From this, a custom abutment is created to fit securely onto your implant and serve as the foundation for your new tooth.
Crown
Once your abutment is ready, we place your final crown on top. We design the crown to match your natural teeth in both look and function, so your new tooth feels completely natural and restores your smile and bite.
