Get the Best Cosmetic Dental Implants in Kansas City

Dental implants are made up of small, root-like posts made from biocompatible titanium with a custom-made dental crown on top.

During a simple oral surgery, the titanium post is inserted into your jawbone, which heals to become a permanent part of your jaw. Your oral surgeon will then adhere a dental crown that looks exactly like your natural teeth to the titanium post.

With proper care, your cosmetic dental implants can last for life and have a success rate of more than 90 percent – take a look at two of our many success stories.

Before and After: Our patient lost a portion of his lower jawbone to oral cancer, but after defeating his disease, he wanted to restore his smile. Our oral surgeons created a permanent prosthetic supported by multiple dental implant posts to rebuild his smile.

Arranging a Pre-Surgical Evaluation Before Receiving Dental Implants

Before you can receive cosmetic dental implants, our oral surgeons must determine if you qualify. The pre-surgical evaluation is a vital step in the process of restoring your smile. During your evaluation, our dentist will:

First Look

Examine your oral structures.

Broad Scan

Take a 3-D CBCT scan to map bone and soft structures in and around your mouth.

Precise Scan

Perform an intraoral scan.

Set Expectations

Plan a dental restoration plan just for you.
When you commit to moving forward with dental implants at our practice, we’ll apply the fees from your pre-surgical evaluation to the remaining cost of your treatment.

Dental Implant FAQs

Are Dental Implants Painful?

During your implant procedure, your mouth will be medically numb, or you can receive IV sedation, so you won’t feel anything. Afterward, most patients report oral tenderness relieved by over-the-counter medications and other home care. Before and after your oral surgery, our team will educate you on pain-reduction options.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

Dental implant costs vary, depending on the preparation work necessary (such as extracting unhealthy teeth to be replaced) and the number of implants you need. During your consultation, our team can calculate an estimate for you.
