Bellevue patients choose dental implants because they want a lasting and hassle-free solution to tooth loss. They want to brush, floss, and visit the dentist as usual without added steps or products to buy. They want a solution that is so similar to their natural teeth that they may forget which tooth is the implant.
Of course, many Bellevue patients know that dental implants are the only option that offers the following benefits:
- Preservation of the Jawbone: When the jawbone deteriorates, you’re left with a sunken and prematurely aged appearance in the lower face.
- Restored Bite Function: Dental implants allow for unrestricted eating. You can easily chew complex foods.
- A Maintenance-Free Solution: Implants require the same care as natural teeth.
- A Long-Term Solution: Dental implants can last for decades or even a lifetime.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Your initial consultation with the dentist determines your candidacy, outlines the costs, and informs you of what to expect. Some patients are immediate candidates, others require pretreatments, such as bone grafting or a sinus lift.
If you are not a candidate for dental implants in Bellevue due to poor gum health, jaw insufficiency, or other issues, your dentist will explain why and discuss alternatives, such as a dental bridge —a fixed solution that connects restoration teeth to healthy teeth via dental crowns.
If dental implants are a suitable solution, we schedule your implant surgery and place the implant using powerful anesthesia. After the implant posts integrate into the jawbone, we top them with crowns or an implant-supported bridge.
