Dental implants in Leavenworth, KS

A missing tooth does not have to stay that way

We place the implant and fit the final crown here at our Shawnee Street office, so you stay with the same team from the first appointment to the last rather than being sent across town partway through.

  • Placed and restored in house
  • One dentist, start to finish
  • A clear estimate first

Not sure an implant is the right answer for you? That is exactly what a consultation is for.

What an implant consultation covers

A conversation and an examination, so you leave knowing what your actual options are and what each one would involve.

  • An examination of the gap, the neighboring teeth and your gum health
  • Digital x-rays taken here at the practice
  • The realistic options, including the ones that are not implants
  • A clear estimate of cost before anything is agreed

An implant is not the right answer for everyone, and we will say so if a bridge, a denture or simply leaving the gap alone would serve you better.

Why people have their implants done here

At a lot of practices the implant is placed by one person and the crown is fitted by another, at a different address, months apart. That is not how it works here.

One practice, one dentist

Dr. Warya places the implant and fits the final crown. Nobody hands your case over halfway through, and there is no second practice to coordinate with.

Fewer trips

Because the surgical and restorative parts happen in the same building, you are not driving to a second office for the appointments in between.

You know the cost first

We explain what you need, why you need it, and what it will cost before treatment starts, so you are deciding with the numbers in front of you.

An honest answer about suitability

Implants need enough healthy bone and settled gums. If that is not where you are today, we will tell you what would need to happen first.

We say when to refer

Where a case genuinely calls for an outside specialist, Dr. Warya will say so plainly and help arrange it rather than stretching beyond what we do well.

Your other dental care too

Cleanings, fillings, crowns, gum treatment and the rest all happen here, so the implant is looked after as part of everything else.

What an implant actually is

An implant is a small post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. A crown is then fitted on top of it, and that is the part you see and chew with.

It stands on its own

Because the implant supports its own crown, the healthy teeth either side are left alone rather than being filed down to carry a bridge across the gap.

It replaces the root, not just the tooth

That is the difference between an implant and the alternatives, and it is why the jawbone is involved and why healing takes the time it does.

Missing more than one tooth?

There are several ways to approach a larger gap, and which one suits you depends on your own jaw and gum health. Call and we will go through the options with you.

What actually happens, step by step

Implant treatment is spread over months rather than weeks, mostly because healing cannot be hurried. Here is the shape of it.

1

Consultation and x-rays

We examine the area, take digital x-rays, and talk through whether an implant is realistic for you, along with the alternatives.

2

Placing the implant

The post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthetic. Most people find this more straightforward than they expected.

3

Healing

The bone needs to bond to the implant before anything is loaded onto it. This takes a few months and is the part that cannot be rushed.

4

Fitting the crown

Once it has healed, the final crown is made and fitted here, matched to your existing teeth. That is the appointment where it starts to feel normal again.

Who will be looking after you

Dr. Navkiran Warya, DDS, general dentist at Family Dental Care in Leavenworth, KS

Dr. Navkiran Warya, DDS

General dentist

Dr. Warya earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at the University of Southern California. She provides general, family, cosmetic and restorative dentistry at our Leavenworth office, and places and restores dental implants here rather than referring that work out.

She believes patients make better decisions when the reasoning is explained clearly rather than assumed, which with implants usually means walking through the alternatives properly before anyone commits to anything.

Common questions about implants

Do you place the implant here, or send me somewhere else?
Both parts are done here. At Family Dental Care in Leavenworth, Dr. Navkiran Warya places the implant and fits the final crown at our Shawnee Street office, so you stay with the same team throughout instead of being referred out partway through treatment and coordinating between two practices. Where a particular case genuinely calls for an outside specialist, she will tell you plainly and help arrange it. To talk through your own situation, call (913) 651-2115.
How much does a dental implant cost?
It depends on how many teeth are being replaced, what goes on top of the implant, and whether any preparatory treatment is needed first, so an honest figure is only possible after an examination. What we can promise is the process: we explain what you need and why, and give you a clear estimate before treatment starts rather than afterwards. We accept most major dental insurance and will check your benefits, and flexible payment options are available. For a figure specific to you, call (913) 651-2115.
Does getting an implant hurt?
The implant is placed under local anesthetic, so the area is fully numb while the work is done, and most people tell us afterwards that it was more straightforward than they had expected. There is usually some soreness and swelling for a few days once the anesthetic wears off, which is normal healing and is generally manageable with ordinary pain relief. We will go through exactly what to expect beforehand, and you can call us afterwards if anything concerns you. Call (913) 651-2115.
How long does the whole thing take?
Implant treatment is usually spread over several months rather than weeks. The reason is healing: the bone needs time to bond to the implant before a crown can be loaded onto it, and that part cannot be rushed without risking the result. The appointments themselves are relatively few and mostly short, with waiting time in between. At your consultation we will give you a realistic timeline for your own case. To book one, call (913) 651-2115.
Am I even a candidate for an implant?
Implants need enough healthy bone to hold them and gums that are in good condition, and some medical conditions and habits affect how well they heal. Plenty of people who assume they are not suitable turn out to be, and some who expect to be need preparatory treatment first. The only way to know is an examination and x-rays. If an implant is not right for you, we will say so and go through the alternatives honestly. Call Family Dental Care in Leavenworth on (913) 651-2115.
What are my options if I do not want an implant?
A bridge, which uses the teeth either side of the gap for support, and a denture, which can be partial or full, are both well established alternatives, and in some situations leaving a gap alone is a reasonable choice too. Each has trade-offs in cost, how long it lasts, and what it does to the neighboring teeth. We will walk through all of them rather than steering you towards the most expensive option. To discuss what would suit you, call (913) 651-2115.

Find out what your options actually are

One conversation and an examination is usually enough to turn a vague worry into a clear choice.
