(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 29, 2011 ) Woodinville, WA -- A dazzling smile can do wonders for a personÂ’s confidence. On the other side of the coin, those who have missing or broken teeth often suffer from poor self-esteem, and might also experience difficulty chewing or speaking normally. For many people, dental implants offer a reliable, long-term solution. In Bothell WA dental implants are frequently recommended by the experienced dentists at Signature Smiles as the best way to regain a beautiful smile that looks and feels like the patientÂ’s own teeth.
The procedure consists of two parts: first, the root the root of the tooth is removed before a small titanium post is embedded into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone, which typically takes up to six months. Once the post is firmly attached, the family dentist Redmond Washington residents trust attaches a crown that has been shaped and color-matched to blend in perfectly with the existing teeth. A temporary crown can be fitted in the interim.
In addition to their natural look and feel, dental implants and crowns have several advantages over bridges or dentures. They usually last for many years, especially when the patient makes sure to brush and floss well, and visits his dentist for regular checkups. The bone loss and recurrent decay often associated with bridgework or dentures are not present with implants. Since a crown is affixed to its own implant, there is no damage to adjoining teeth. The lips and cheeks are supported and the face appears more youthful. The patient regains the ability to chew using his whole mouth and speak normally, and his confident smile returns.
At Signature Smiles, Drs. Wu and Dowd can install an implant to replace a single tooth that has been knocked out or lost to periodontal disease or caries, or that never grew in. The dentist Kirkland families recommend can also fit dental implants to support a bridge that fills a gap left by several missing teeth, and can even replace a whole set of teeth with an implant-supported full bridge. When it comes to dental implants Kirkland Washington families can rely on Signature Smiles to deliver long-lasting result.
