Our Periodontal Procedures

At Derby City Dental Specialists, we provide patients with a range of treatment options to restore beautiful, confident smiles. Here are some of the most common procedures we perform.

Dental Implants

Dental implants represent one of the most popular options to restore missing teeth. Basically, an implant is a tiny titanium post. Dr. Ryan Clagett surgically inserts the post into the jawbone, then gives it several weeks to heal in place. Once it is stable and secure, the implant can function as an artificial tooth root. Dr. Clagett can then place a crown or bridge on top of it. These replacement teeth are made to look and feel just like your naturally grown teeth. Dental implants are comfortable, convenient, and long-lasting, and we are pleased to provide them to patients from Bardstown, KY.

Implant Dentures

Derby City Dental Specialists also provides implant dentures to patients from Bardstown, which are similar to traditional dental implants. The biggest difference is that, while dental implants are used to replace individual teeth, implant dentures can be used to restore an entire arch of teeth. In other words, implant dentures can be a good option for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth, or who need to have many of their teeth extracted. As with traditional dental implants, implant dentures provide a comfortable, long-lasting form of tooth replacement.
