What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants can be thought of as artificial tooth roots that are placed in your jawbone and become a base for supporting one or more artificial teeth, called crowns. A connector, known as an abutment, is placed on top of the dental implant to support the crowns. Dental implants are made from medical-grade titanium which provides a more durable and natural-looking root form. Given the numerous benefits and aesthetic qualities dental implants offer, they have become the preferred method of tooth replacement today.

The team at Northwest Implant Center is able to diagnose, plan, place, and restore your implants from beginning to end.

What are the benefits of Dental Implants?

Modern Solution

Dental Implants are a more modern solution for tooth replacement than dentures or bridges. They are actually the only dental restoration option that preserves natural bone and helps stimulate bone growth.

Long Lasting

Dental implants look, feel and function like a real tooth. They will not decay and are designed to last for the rest of your life.

Comfortable

There is no slippage or discomfort that commonly happens with dentures. They also make eating and speaking easier, while improving your overall oral health.

Who is a good candidate for Dental Implants?

Those likely to benefit from dental implants include people who have been experiencing problems with conventional dentures or simply people who have lost a tooth or teeth. They make life easier for those that have been finding it difficult to chew and enjoy meals and can slow down the process of tissue and bone loss in the jaw. What’s more is that implants can even provide a more youthful appearance due to the way that they will give your facial structure a lift. Furthermore, they will help you to speak more clearly.

However, for this implant procedure to work, there must be enough bone in the jaw. The bone has to be strong enough to hold and support the implant. If there is not enough bone, it may need to be added with a procedure called bone grafting. In addition, natural teeth and supporting tissues near where the implant will be placed must be in good health.

How do I get started?

Start with a Free Consultation with Dr. Le. At this consultation, the doctor will create a customized treatment plan just for you. You’ll learn exactly how much the procedure will cost without having to worry about any surprise fees. And remember: a free consultation is a conversation. It’s not a commitment. You have nothing to lose and a beautiful smile to gain.

The staff here is so amazing, so caring and amazing at what they can accomplish. My teeth were deteriorating drastically after taking an oral medication for over a year that basically rotted my teeth away. This place is saving my smile one surgery at a time I just completed phase 1 Of four surgeries that I am required to have in order to get implants and veneers. Going under general anesthesia was scary, but they helped me through the process and I had very little pain after having seven extractions and many bone graphs and oral surgery. I feel like if I would’ve gone anywhere else it would’ve taken weeks to recover.
