Our Periodontal Procedures

The best way to learn about our periodontal treatment offerings is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ryan Clagett, who will ensure you are a good candidate for a safe and successful procedure. Some of our most popular treatment options include:

Dental Implants

Tooth loss can happen for any number of reasons, including traumatic accidents and tooth decay. When teeth are lost or extracted, it is crucial to replace them promptly, averting further bone and tissue degradation. One of the most effective ways to replace lost teeth is through dental implants.

Dental implants are tiny metal posts Dr. Clagett inserts into the jawbone to serve as artificial roots. On those roots, your dentist can place artificial prostheses that are made to look and behave just like your natural teeth. Dental implants provide a long-lasting way to address tooth loss and restore your confident smile.

Implant Dentures

Implant dentures are very similar to traditional dental implants, with one key difference. Whereas dental implants replace individual teeth, implant dentures replace an entire arch of teeth. In other words, this is a viable solution at Derby City Dental Specialists for patients faced with extensive tooth loss. You can even use implant dentures to completely replace your smile.

Like traditional implants, implant dentures are safe, comfortable, and convenient. And, assuming proper upkeep, they are designed to be long-lasting. We are happy to offer this tooth replacement option to our patients from Hodgenville, KY.
