Improve Your Quality of Life With Dental Implants in Lafayette
Whether you're missing a single tooth or no longer have any natural teeth, Dr. Gregory Keene can help. You don't have to go through life without all your teeth. Lafayette dental implants can restore your smile and bite while improving your overall quality of life.
Teeth implants help you smile with more confidence in social interactions, eat your favorite foods again, and bite and chew without discomfort. They also support a strong jawbone and good oral health while helping you look and feel younger and more robust. Many people also make better first impressions at work and with peers.

Invest in a Lasting Implant Solution
Implants are the preferred way to replace missing teeth. While traditional bridges work great for filling gaps in your smile, implants offer a better alternative that doesn't require modifying healthy teeth. Instead, implants act as artificial tooth roots that support replacement teeth while protecting the rest of your smile.
Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants stimulate your jawbone to keep it healthy and whole. This helps prevent bone loss and changes to your facial structure over time. While the teeth attached to implants may need periodic replacement, the implants themselves can last for decades, and often for the rest of your life, with proper care.
Implant treatment is carefully planned for comfort and precision. When Dr. Keene places your implants, he uses a custom-crafted surgical guide to ensure each implant goes exactly where it needs to be. This supports precise placement, predictable healing, and long-term success. Advanced imaging and planning help create results that feel secure and natural.
Comfort is also a priority during treatment. Sedation options are available to help you relax throughout the process. Plus, our team will take time to answer all your questions so that you stay fully informed at all times.
If dental insurance isn't part of your plan, options are still available. Our Membership Club and financing solutions can help make implant care more manageable without unnecessary delays.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots used to replace missing teeth. Dr. Keene places them in your jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants feel secure, restore bite function, and look natural. Unlike other teeth replacement options, they help maintain jawbone health and prevent bone loss over time.
Do dental implants feel like natural teeth?
Yes, dental implants are designed to function like natural teeth. Because they anchor directly into your jawbone, they feel stable when eating, speaking, and smiling. Many people report that implants feel more natural and secure than removable tooth replacement options once healing is complete.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last decades with proper care. While the replacement teeth may need maintenance or eventual replacement, the implant itself is designed for long-term use. Good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding harmful habits all help extend the life of your implants.
