Missing one or more teeth? Restore your smile with permanent implants at Lee Dentistry! Dental implants offer a stable, natural-looking solution designed to restore both the strength and appearance of your smile.
At Lee Dentistry in Oxford, MS, we partner with trusted local oral surgeons and implant specialists to help you achieve a complete tooth replacement solution from start to finish.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the roots of missing teeth. Once the implant has healed, it can support a custom restoration such as a dental crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture.
Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, dental implants are designed to integrate with your jawbone, providing a strong foundation that closely mimics the stability of a natural tooth.
Dental implants can be used to replace:
- A single missing tooth with an implant crown
- Several missing teeth with an implant-supported bridge
- Multiple or all missing teeth with implant-supported dentures
Dental Implant Restoration
While Dr. Lee does not surgically place dental implants, he provides customized implant restorations to complete your smile after placement. From your initial consultation through the final restoration, our team will work closely with your surgical provider to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience and results that look and feel natural.
The Dental Implant Process with Lee Dentistry
Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant involves several steps and collaboration between specialists. At Lee Dentistry, we help guide you through the restorative portion of your treatment so you feel confident at every stage.
Your implant journey will start with a consultation and surgical placement by a trusted local oral surgeon or implant specialist. They will carefully place the implant into your jawbone and monitor healing as the implant integrates with the surrounding bone.
Once your implant has healed, you’ll return to Lee Dentistry for placement of your final restoration. Dr. Lee will design and place a custom-made restoration that blends naturally with your look, while restoring daily strength and comfort to your smile. Your completed implant restoration is designed to look natural, feel comfortable, and help you enjoy everyday activities like eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several advantages compared to other tooth replacement options, including:
- A stable, secure fit
- Natural-looking results
- Improved chewing and speaking ability
- Preservation of jawbone health
- Long-lasting durability with proper care
- A restoration designed to complement your unique smile
Implant-Supported Dentures
For our patients missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures can provide enhanced stability compared to traditional removable dentures. Instead of resting only on the gums, these dentures are anchored to dental implants for a more secure fit. Dr. Lee works with experienced implant specialists to restore implant-supported dentures that help improve comfort, function, and confidence while reducing slipping and movement.
