Struggling with failing dental health can feel overwhelming and discouraging. Missing teeth and severely damaged can make it hard to bite and chew, limit your food choices, and leave you with constant discomfort. Tooth problems can affect how you speak and your social and professional life. You may want to hide your smile or shy away from photos, feeling self-conscious about how your teeth look.
You deserve a full set of strong, stable, beautiful teeth. With dental implants, you can start living life to the fullest with the comfort and confidence of a fully functional smile. As an oral surgeon, Kenneth Carey, DMD, OMFS, has advanced expertise and experience to rebuild your smile with dental implants in Kearney, NE, and Grand Island, NE. At Heartland Oral Surgery and Dental Implants, you’ll get compassionate, judgment-free care to enjoy a better quality of life with your dream smile.
The first step in your dental implant process is a simple conversation. The main goal of your consultation is to understand how your teeth affect you and how you hope dental implants can improve your life.
We’ll perform a thorough examination and collect diagnostic images. Our advanced Cone Beam CT scans and digital X-rays will be the foundation for precision planning your dental implant procedure to ensure the best possible outcome.
These images also let us determine if dental implants are right for you, what approach will be best for your dental implant procedure, and whether you’ll need other treatments, such as bone grafting.
Feeling confident about your dental implant procedure means fully understanding our recommendations and what to expect through every phase of your treatment. We’ll always take the time to carefully explain your treatment options and help you make the best decision for your needs, lifestyle, and budget.
Your tooth implant process is performed with meticulous care, prioritizing optimal outcomes and your comfort throughout. We’ll begin your procedure by administering your chosen sedation, ensuring your procedure is comfortable. Dr. Carey follows our surgical guide based on your treatment plan to place 4-6 dental implants in preplanned positions within your jawbone.
As the implants settle, abutments are attached to each implant, and a temporary restoration is provided, granting you immediate access to your revitalized smile. We rely on cutting-edge techniques and surgical technology, prioritizing precision and minimal invasiveness for efficient implant placement.
The superior strength and stability of dental implants start with a strong foundation. During the next 4-6 months, your implant posts will fuse to the bone tissue during osseointegration. Good healing is the key to a successful dental implant process. Once your dental implants have fused with your jawbone, we’ll place your final restoration.
This final restoration is designed with your face shape, skin tone, and personal smile goals in mind. We use the most advanced techniques and technology to mold and design a perfect smile so you can enjoy the aesthetics of your brand-new smile but the functional benefits of it as well.
Once your final prosthesis is complete, we’ll replace your temporary teeth with your custom-crafted final prostheses so you can enjoy a permanent smile for decades!
As a surgical specialist, Dr. Carey has nearly two decades of experience and years of additional education beyond dental school to ensure successful outcomes for your dental implant procedure. Heartland Oral Surgery and Dental Implants uses fully guided surgical techniques with NSequence®, a sophisticated dental software that can streamline your surgical process and guarantee the best accuracy and ideal outcomes.
With compassionate care as our guiding principle, you’ll have our total support throughout your entire dental implant process. We can’t wait to help you love your smile!
