Amazing Kansas City Area Dental Implants

Dental implants are a wonderful way to replace a missing tooth. They look, feel and act more natural than any other type of restoration. They replicate your original tooth from the root up. They prevent your bone from losing density. They don’t require any modification of adjacent teeth to achieve full function.

Dr. Richard Dervin is a strong proponent of dental implants for Kansas City area residents, having performed them for more than 15 years. Dental implants are a great option for anyone who needed an extraction because of excessive decay, for anyone who has lost a tooth due to a sports injury or for those who are tired of wearing dentures.

Although dental implants are incredibly successful, they aren’t quite as well-known as crowns or bridges by our Kansas City dentist. So Dr. Dervin takes the time to field every question you may have about them: from process to function, pros and cons, durability, look and feel, cost, etc.

Our dentist office is ready to explain everything and anything you want to know about dental implants around Kansas City. Why? We want to you to be completely comfortable with this fantastic dental option. Call us today.

A Process that Offers You Ownership

Dr. Dervin begins the implant process with pre-planning: panoramic X-ray and diagnostic models. Then we spend time conferring with you, our lab and a long-time friend and colleague of Dr. Dervin’s — our expert oral surgeon who places the posts for your dental implants, near Kansas City.

Once all four parties agree on the look, feel and feasibility of the procedure, Dr. Dervin designs the restoration and determines the ideal location for your implants. Once the models return, you’ll meet with our oral surgeon to devise the operative aspect of your treatment.

Dr. Richard Dervin and our oral surgeon share a close professional relationship of more than a decade. This partnership allows us to work together to maximize the potential benefits of your implants. After that, the procedure commences, your mouth takes the time it needs to heal around the new implant, and we maintain the beauty, form and function of your mouth.

“After getting implants, many of my patients can’t hold back their excitement. Their family notices the difference it has made in their personality. This is very rewarding for me.” — Richard Dervin, Dentist in Shawnee, KS
