Dental Implants in Lexington, KY
If you're missing one or more teeth, dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement—providing a strong, natural-looking, and long-lasting solution.

FAQs
Have questions about restorative dentistry? We’ve got answers.
The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and most patients experience minimal discomfort—comparable to getting a filling or extraction. Post-procedure soreness can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, and most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
With proper care and regular checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a reliable, long-term solution. The crown (or visible part of the implant) may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear.
Most patients with good oral health and sufficient jawbone density are great candidates. If you have bone loss, a bone graft may be required to strengthen the area before implant placement. Certain conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking can impact healing but don’t necessarily rule out implants. We recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. White for more personalized advice.
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, attend regular dental checkups, and avoid smoking to ensure longevity. Unlike dentures, implants don’t require special soaking or adhesives.
