Lexington Dentist Offers Dental Implants

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Dec. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Having the perfect smile has always been a priority in our society.  There was a time when losing a tooth simply meant that you would have a gap in your smile, but modern dentistry has changed that.  Dental implants are a common surgical practice today, allowing our confidence and our smile to recover from the loss of one or more of our teeth.  Paul M. Frazier, DMD now offers both dental veneers and dental implants in Lexington, KY.

Dental implants are used to surgically replace one or more missing teeth.  The implant serves as a replacement for the original "root" of the tooth, and holds the replacement tooth permanently in place.  The implants have high success rates of up to 98%, and if taken care of properly, can last a lifetime.  Among the many advantages of dental implants, some of the most common are:

Improvement in speech:  Missing teeth can have make a difference in how you pronounce certain words, and can create whistling or unintentional sounds when speaking.

Improved self-esteem:  Everyone wants their smile to look as good as possible.  And the better your smile looks, the better you will feel about yourself.  Filling in the gap in your smile can make life feel better overall.

Improved chewing abilities:  Missing teeth can make it difficult, or sometimes even impossible to eat certain foods, some of which may have been your favorite(s) at one time.  Having all of your teeth will allow you to enjoy food, and chew it properly, which also aids in digestion and a healthier digestive system.

Setting up a consultation is the first step to regaining the confidence in your smile.  Most of the time, anyone healthy enough for oral surgery is a healthy candidate for a dental implant.  Certain patients who have pre-existing medical conditions may need to be evaluated further, as a safety precaution.  The caring and highly trained staff at Paul M. Frazier, DMD will set up your consultation, and answer any questions you may have throughout the entire process.  Call toll-free (855) 817-6961 or visit www.LexingtonFamilyDentist.com to set up your consultation with the practice that was voted best dentist in Lexington, KY!
