Dental Implants
Bellevue and Seattle, Washington
At Cooleysmiles, we are committed to providing our patients with the most suitable and effective solutions for all of their cosmetic dental needs. When you are missing one or more teeth, the associated discomfort, loss of function, and impact to your appearance can affect every aspect of your life. Knowing this and being keenly aware of the importance of high quality, functionally superior results, we work with a group of local specialists when doing dental implant procedures.
Bellevue cosmetic dentists Dr. Aaron Cooley and Dr. Brandon Cooley only perform the restoration part of your dental implant procedure. They will have local specialists and oral surgeons install the implant. Dr. Aaron and Dr. Brandon find that working with specialists on such a complex procedure enables them to achieve the best functional and aesthetic results for your dental implant.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium screws secured directly into your jaw. A dental crown is then placed on top of your implant to serve as a prosthetic tooth. Dental implants provide you with the most durable and functional replacement for your missing tooth.
Dr. Aaron and Dr. Brandon will perform a thorough examination to make sure you are an ideal candidate for dental implants. In order to undergo this procedure, you must have sufficient bone structure in your jaw to support the implant. If you are not a suitable candidate for dental implants, Dr. Aaron and Dr. Brandon may recommend dental bridges as an alternative.
Dental Implant Considerations
When you are missing a tooth, the neighboring teeth may begin to shift in order to fill in the gap. You may also notice a loss of chewing ability as your mouth adjusts pressure, placing a heavy burden on the rest of your teeth. Missing teeth can impact your ability to speak clearly and may also cause your jaw to collapse, resulting in additional functional and aesthetic concerns.
Dental implants offer an ideal solution for missing teeth. Secured directly into your jaw, they work to prevent jaw collapse. Using the highest quality porcelain crowns, we are able to match the color, shape, and size of your false tooth exactly with the natural teeth in your mouth. In this way, functionality is restored and cosmetic imperfections are alleviated, leaving you with a seamless, beautiful smile.
