Dental Implants Seattle

If you’re missing a tooth, you know that distinct shock of pain that a tortilla chip can cause. Ouch. There are a variety of options for replacing that missing tooth. Bridges and dentures all work, at least in the short-term, but a dental implant is a gold standard for solving the problem.

The way an implant works is one of our doctors will insert a screw into your jaw bone(s). The screw attaches to your jawbone, which might not sound neat, but actually, it helps prevent it from deteriorating. The bone attaching itself to the implant is called “osseointegration”. A dental crown is then attached to the implant. The result is a permanent, securely attached, tooth, that will function much like all of your natural teeth. With regular brushing and flossing, you can expect this new tooth to last for the rest of your life. If you are experiencing tooth loss, call our dental office in Seattle for dental implant surgery.

We’re the dentists where other dentists send their toughest cases. There’s a good reason for that, and that’s because we’re the experts. This is not a side gig for our doctors, but our specialty. We have the advanced training and knowledge that’s necessary to be good at this specialty. More importantly, we have the experience of doing tens of thousands of dental implants.

You only have one mouth, and no one thinks dental work is fun. You want the work done right the first time. You want a dental implant dentist to do the job. The result will be a new tooth that looks just exactly the way you want. We are also able to provide sedation dentistry when you are in the process of getting your artificial tooth.
