What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium or zirconia post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. After it fuses with the bone, a crown, bridge or denture is attached on top. Implants need enough healthy bone and gum to support them.

Dental implants: specialist or general dentist?

Implants are placed by oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dentists with extra implant training. Specialists are often recommended when bone grafting, sinus lifts, or full-arch cases like All-on-4 are involved. The crown is often made by a general dentist or prosthodontist.

None of Lexington's 41 clinics offering dental implants list an oral surgeon on staff in our data yet. See oral surgeons in Lexington

Do general dentists in Lexington do dental implants?

Coverage for implants varies widely. Some dental plans cover part of the cost as major care, often subject to waiting periods and annual maximums; many do not. Medicaid rarely covers implants for adults. Ask for a written estimate.

Do dental implants hurt?
