Dental Implants Provider in Wichita, KS
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution that restores both function and confidence. At Mid Kansas Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, our board-certified oral surgeons have helped patients across Wichita regain full, healthy smiles with implant treatment that is built to last.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the bone, a process called osseointegration, a custom crown is attached on top. The result looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Dental implants can replace:
- A single missing tooth
- Multiple missing teeth (implant-supported bridges)
- A full arch of teeth (All-on-4 or full-arch restoration)
Why Choose an Oral Surgeon for Dental Implants?
Placing dental implants is a surgical procedure that requires specialized training in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Our surgeons complete years of hospital-based residency training beyond dental school, giving them the skills and clinical experience to manage complex cases, including patients with bone loss, systemic health conditions, or prior failed implants. Choosing a qualified oral surgeon for your implant placement means:
- Precise implant positioning for long-term success
- In-office IV sedation for a comfortable experience
- Management of any complications with surgical expertise
- Coordination with your restorative dentist for a seamless treatment plan
The Dental Implant Process at Our Wichita Office
Every implant case begins with a thorough consultation and 3D imaging to evaluate your bone structure and plan the ideal implant position. From there, your treatment typically follows these steps:
Consultation and imaging: We review your health history, take CBCT scans, and create a custom treatment plan.
Implant placement: The titanium post is placed under local anesthesia or IV sedation for your comfort.
Healing period: The implant integrates with your jawbone over several months.
Crown placement: Your restorative dentist attaches the final crown, completing your new smile.
Dental Implants vs. Other Tooth Replacement Options
Compared to dentures or bridges, dental implants offer distinct advantages:
- They do not rely on adjacent teeth for support
- They preserve jawbone and prevent bone loss over time
- They do not slip or require adhesives
- With proper care, they can last a lifetime
