Benefits of Dental Implants![]() Dental Problems Caused by Missing TeethWhen missing teeth are not replaced, several different dental problems can occur:
For all of these reasons and more, your best option when you are missing a tooth is to replace it with a dental implant as quickly as possible, before too much bone loss renders an implant impossible to place. If you have experienced too much bone loss for implants to be successful, Cooley Smiles also offers dental bridges as an alternative treatment option. The Dental Implant ProcedureThanks to modern dental technology, the dental implant process today is safer, more efficient, and more reliable than ever. Dental implants have a 95% success rate, and the dental crown restorations used by our Seattle implant dentists Dr. Aaron and Dr. Brandon are virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Since implants are bonded to your living bone - a process called osseointegration - they are also highly durable and functional, becoming a natural part of your smile. It takes anywhere from 3-6 months for dental implants to anchor themselves to your jaw bone and heal. Once an implant is installed, the final crown restoration will be placed, and you can enjoy a new smile that not only looks and feels great, but protects your mouth from the many dental problems caused by missing teeth. Caring for your dental implants is simple. Establishing good dental hygiene habits and scheduling regular implant dentistry check-ups with Dr. Aaron or Dr. Brandon will help ensure your implants last for decades to come. If you live in the Bellevue or Seattle areas of Washington and need to replace one or more missing teeth, please contact the experienced implant dentists at Cooley Smiles today to find out if you are a candidate for dental implants. |
