Beautiful Teeth, Outstanding Results
Dental implants are considered the most sophisticated and comprehensive solution for missing teeth. Dr. Jones is proud to offer this treatment to her Seattle / Bellevue dental implants patients. Unlike outdated restorative dentistry treatments, dental implants are securely rooted in the jaw, just like your natural teeth. This allows for results that look and feel as realistic as possible. Patients who receive dental implants at our Bellevue / Seattle practice experience significant oral health benefits, as well as increased self-confidence thanks to their restored smile. If you are searching for a permanent solution to tooth loss, contact our practice to learn more about dental implants.
The dental implant restoration process at our Bellevue / Seattle dental implants practice can be completed in two steps. During the first appointment, the dental implants will be inserted into the jaw bone. During the recovery process, the dental implant will fuse with the bone in a process known as osseointegration. Once this has occurred, Dr. Jones will fix an artificial tooth to the implant to finish the restoration process.
Fixed Implant Supported Dentures
For many patients who wear dentures, the lower denture can be a cause for discomfort. With advanced dental implants techniques, Dr. Jones is able to alleviate this problem with implant-supported dentures. This involves placing a few dental implants in the bottom jaw, and fixing the denture to the titanium framework. This process actually restores nearly 90% of the function of the lower natural teeth, helping patients feel more comfortable and confident on a daily basis.
Imagine what life would be like without denture problems. You will feel younger, chew better, be more comfortable and have more confidence. This solution to denture problems is only a phone call away!
Other Implant Dentistry Options for Bellevue / Seattle Dental Implants Patients
While dental implants are an excellent treatment option for many patients, they may not be for everyone. Dr. Jones is committed to helping all patients sustain positive oral health and comfort, and offers a variety of other treatment options to replace missing teeth. One other treatment option is removable dentures with implant supports, which require fewer implants and are held in place by precision attachments. This allows for added strength and comfort while chewing, laughing and speaking. If you are missing teeth and are searching for a durable, natural-looking solution, you are probably a good candidate for implant dentistry.
