If you have missing teeth, you know that the problem can be addressed by using dentures. But there is a more natural-looking way to achieve results. You teeth can be replaced using dental implants.
The first step in the dental implant procedure involves your Seattle dentist installing an artificial tooth root into your jaw. This root is used to secure a replacement tooth. In traditional bridgework, the teeth surrounding the missing tooth are often compromised, as they are used to support the bridge. This is not an issue with dental implants. Each implant operates independently; as a result, dental implants provide a solution for missing teeth that's easier on your mouth's remaining natural teeth.
Choosing the Right Dentist to Perform Dental Implants in Seattle
The best candidates for dental implants enjoy good oral health. You'll need to have enough bone in your jaw to serve as a root for the implant. Also, your gums will need to be in good condition and gingivitis-free.
