Loosing teeth is not as exciting as it was when you were in your childhood. As an adult, you do not get another set of teeth like when you lost your baby teeth. Losing your teeth may be devastating, but technology today has made it possible to replace your permanent teeth with dental implants restoring your beautiful smile. Our dental experts located in Seattle, Spokane, Walla Walla, SeaTac, Clackamas, Oregon and all around Washington can restore your smile and prevent numerous other problems that come from missing teeth with custom fit dental implants.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a titanium implant that acts like a tooth root. The titanium used is the same biocompatible material that has been used for many decades in knee replacement surgeries and hip replacement surgeries. The dental implant is placed into the jaw bone, just like where your natural tooth root is, and the bone fuses with the implant. Dental implants can be used to restore your beautiful smile for one or more teeth.
Can I Get a Dental Implant?
You are a good candidate for a dental implant to replace your missing teeth if you have healthy teeth and gums. Any signs of cavities and decay, and signs of gum disease or periodontal disease must be taken care of first. You also must have enough dense bone tissue to support the dental implant. If you have suffered bone loss, which is very common after you lose a permanent tooth, your dentist may need to rebuild the tissues with a bone graft before dental implants can be used.
Why Should I Get a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are the top choice for tooth replacement. While dentures are a wonderful option, dental implants are permanently anchored into your mouth. Your new restorations will allow you to enjoy speaking, eating, laughing, and your other day to day activities without having to worry about your teeth slipping out of place. Dental implants are made to look and feel like your natural teeth. They give you a natural beautiful smile, as well as stimulate your jawbone to maintain your facial appearance.
