Discover the Life-Changing Benefits of Dental Implants at Skees Family Dentistry in Jeffersonville, Indiana

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are essentially artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed, replacement teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, offering a strong and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

Why Choose Dental Implants at Skees Family Dentistry?

When it comes to dental implants, not all providers are created equal. At Skees Family Dentistry in Jeffersonville, Indiana, we combine years of expertise with personalized care to ensure you get the best outcome possible. Here’s what sets us apart:

  • State-of-the-Art Technology
  • Personalized Treatment Plans
  • Commitment to Patient Comfort and Care

Benefits of Dental Implants

1. Long-Lasting Solution

Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a long-term investment in your oral health.

2. Enhanced Appearance and Confidence

Dental implants are custom-made to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. Say goodbye to feeling self-conscious about gaps or ill-fitting dentures.

3. Improved Speech

Unlike dentures that may slip, implants are securely placed, allowing for clearer and more confident speech.

4. Better Chewing and Comfort

Implants function like real teeth, which makes eating your favorite foods easy and comfortable.

5. Bone Preservation

Implants help prevent bone loss in the jaw, maintaining your facial structure and appearance.

Types of Dental Implants We Offer

1. Single Tooth Implants

Ideal if you’re missing one tooth, a single implant supports a single crown.

2. Implant-Supported Bridges

Great for multiple missing teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a strong, reliable solution.

3. Full-Arch Implants

Need a replacement for all your teeth on the upper or lower jaw? Full-arch implants could be the answer.

The Dental Implant Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We start with an in-depth consultation to assess your oral health and determine if you’re a good candidate.

Step 2: Treatment Planning

Your customized plan includes details like the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and treatment timelines.

Step 3: Implant Placement Surgery

During this procedure, our skilled dentist will surgically place the implant post into your jawbone.

Step 4: Healing Period (Osseointegration)

The implant and jawbone bond during this stage, providing a strong foundation for the artificial tooth.

Step 5: Placing the Abutment and Crown

Once healed, we attach the abutment and place a custom-made crown to complete the restoration.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Health Considerations

  • Good oral hygiene and a healthy jawbone are critical.
  • Conditions like diabetes may need special care.

Bone Density Matters

If you’ve suffered bone loss, we may recommend a bone graft before implant placement.

Why Dental Implants Are Worth the Investment

1. A Natural Look and Feel

No one will know you have implants unless you tell them!

2. Durability That Pays Off

Unlike bridges and dentures, implants won’t need frequent replacements.

Caring for Your Implants

  • Regular Brushing and Flossing
  • Routine Dental Check-Ups
    Just treat them like your natural teeth.

They were polite while setting the appointment for me to come in for a first visit to meet Mrs. Skees and the office assistants. Upon arrival, the ladies were all cheerful, polite, respectful, and did not make me feel like I was burdening to them. Once I, was in the chair to review the treatment plan. Dr. Skees went over great details, allowed me to process what was being conveyed, left a warm, and secure impression to move forward with. The team at Skeets Dentist, is AMAZING! I actually feel like I am safe, respected, and they are professionals! My advice is, "GO TO SKEES!".

The staff and everyone were AMAZING. Working in the medical field for 36 years I can say they are top notch. I called today having pain after a broken tooth, they got me right in. Needed the dreaded root canal and they worked me into another doctor to get it done today. Working me in tomorrow to get the crown all before the end of the year so I can use my benefits.
