Dental Implants
Dental implants are one of the most dependable options for replacing missing teeth. Whether you’ve lost a single tooth or several, they offer a permanent solution that looks natural and functions just like real teeth.
Dental Implants in Wichita, KS
At Humlicek Dental, we specialize in dental implants to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even dentures. Implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone to support artificial teeth, providing a secure, natural feel without slipping or affecting neighboring teeth. They restore stable biting and chewing, protect your oral health, and with proper care can last a lifetime.
Untreated tooth loss can cause teeth to shift, jawbone loss, and changes to facial structure. Schedule a consultation at Humlicek Dental to see if dental implants are the right solution for you.

The Dental Implant Process
Dental implant treatment usually takes 4–8 months and a few appointments, though timing depends on each patient.
- Consultation & exam: A full evaluation to confirm candidacy and plan treatment.
- Tooth extraction & bone graft (if needed): Prepares the site for implant placement.
- Implant placement: A titanium post is surgically placed in the jaw.
- Healing phase: The bone fuses with the implant (osseointegration), usually over 3 months.
- Abutment & crown: A connector (abutment) is attached, and a custom crown is crafted and placed for a natural, functional smile.
Dental Implant Cost
At Humlicek Dental, we work to make dental implants affordable for our patients. The total cost typically ranges from $4,000 to $4,500, which includes a flat fee estimate, X-rays, and extractions if needed. Final costs may vary depending on your individual treatment plan.
Because cost can be a concern, we offer several financial options. While some insurance plans cover implants, coverage varies, so we can submit a pre-authorization on your behalf. We also accept CareCredit, which allows you to pay for treatment in smaller, manageable installments.
After-Procedure Care
After your implant procedure, Dr. Humlicek will review proper brushing and flossing techniques to keep the implant healthy. For the first few days, stick to soft foods and avoid brushing directly on the implant site for about a week. If you had an extraction, sutures will dissolve on their own. Be sure to complete any prescribed medications and avoid spitting forcefully, using straws, or smoking, as these can disrupt healing. Following these steps will support a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.
