Get Your Smile & Self-Confidence Back With All-on-4

We offer a unique dental solution called All-on-4 therapy. This innovative dental treatment involves the placement of four dental implants in the jawbone to support a full arch of teeth. It works well if you have lost most or all of you teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and may require adhesives, All-on-4 implants provide a secure and natural-looking restoration.

An All-on-4 procedure:

  • Offers Improved Stability – The dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a solid foundation for your replacement teeth. This ensures stability and prevents the denture from slipping or moving.
  • Enhances Chewing and Speaking – All-on-4 therapy restores the full functionality of your teeth, allowing you to chew and speak with confidence. You can enjoy a wider variety of foods without discomfort or limitations.
  • Gives a Natural Look – The replacement teeth used in All-on-4 are carefully crafted to match your natural teeth, creating a beautiful smile. This can significantly improve your self-esteem and confidence.
  • Preserves Your Jawbone Health – The dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure. This helps maintain your appearance and prevents the sunken look often associated with tooth loss.
  • Uses a Minimally Invasive Procedure – All-on-4 treatment can often be completed in a single appointment, minimizing the need for extensive procedures and reducing your recovery time.

If we need extra stability to anchor your new teeth, we may use additional implants. This is known as an All-on-X procedure.

Call our dental practice today at 859-356-2000 to find out more about All-on-4 dental implants in Independence.

Ease Your Worries With Our Independence Sedation Options

Modern dental sedation is one of the greatest advances in dentistry. Independence sedation options allow nervous patients (perhaps you’re one of them) to lie back comfortably in our dental chair and receive the care they need. In fact, sedation provides you many benefits:

  • A pain-free, stress-free dental visit every time
  • Care that will catch and treat small oral problems before they worsen
  • Peace of mind about your oral health, without worry about the unknown
  • Helping you avoid painful and costly dental emergencies

Call Independence Family Dentistry today at 859-356-2000 to schedule your next checkup or appointment. Come in and get the dental sedation you need to relax.

Take Your Pick of Soothing Sedation Options

Your comfort and relaxation are our top priorities. We understand that visiting the dentist can cause anxiety or even fear for some patients. That’s why we offer TVs, movies, and headphones to help you feel at ease during your procedure or exam. If you still need a little extra help relaxing, our sedation choices include:

  • Inhaled Sedation with Laughing Gas – Inhaled sedation is a safe and effective method to help you relax during your dental treatment. Laughing gas induces a calming and euphoric feeling, allowing you to remain conscious and responsive while feeling more at ease. It takes effect almost immediately and wears off quickly too.
  • Oral Conscious Sedation in Pill Form – Oral conscious sedation involves taking a prescribed pill before your dental procedure. This medication helps reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. With oral sedation, you will remain conscious but deeply relaxed throughout your treatment. You’ll remain groggy for a few hours, so you will need to arrange a ride home.
  • IV Sedation – Intravenous (IV) sedation is a deeper level of sedation administered through an IV line. This method allows the sedative medication to be delivered directly into your bloodstream, inducing a state of deep relaxation. IV sedation is closely monitored by our experienced team to ensure your safety and comfort. As with oral sedation, you’ll need a ride home.

If you’re looking for sedation options in Independence, you’ve come to the right place! Call our caring dental office today at 859-356-2000 to schedule an appointment.

Testimonials

What Our Patients Say About Us

  • "Very thorough exam and explanations. Conservative approach taking into consideration my age, etc. Good follow up plan with no pressure. Did not feel I was being ‘sold’ something. Highly recommend this practice. Was back again for my second crown today (5/11/2023). These people are nothing short of amazing. Pleasant, accommodating, informative. Casual but professional individuals who can hold a conversation like real people."
    Larry Heuser
  • "Dr Sam and the staff are great never been to dentist office more pleasurable in my life"
  • "Kim, Madison, Julie and Kevin get the shoutout, Dr Masters is awesome as well. I’ve actually enjoyed going to the dentist since coming to this office"
  • "From the front desk to the doctors, and everyone in the back, these people are the absolute best. You're treated as family. I couldn't ask for a better dentist office, and definitely recommend them to everyone. Whether you're looking to switch to a new dentist or you're a first timer, go see them. In my opinion, price is fair too."
    Mo K
  • "Always a great experience! They found issues others didn’t (and showed me the areas of concern without knowing I have dental x-ray knowledge). Dr Sam’s helped me anytime I needed (even after hours multiple times) after my implant surgery."
  • "I am a new patient and saw Dr. Masters for a broken tooth today. I have had a fear of the dentist for a long time and my experience today was wonderful. They were VERY calming, explained everything in detail, and made me as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. I would highly recommend them!"
  • "Excellent staff and modern dental equipment - X-rays and amazing cameras. Everyone professional and very friendly. Dr. Masters is my dentist and he discovered I had a cracked tooth during a routine cleaning. Preventive treatment was to crown it before it actually broke in half so I had it done. They create permanent crowns in their facility - was there about 1.5 hours and it was done. Highly recommend Independence Family Dentistry and Doctor Josh Masters - and his assistant Kim."
