Frequently asked questions about the dental implant procedure for replacing missing teeth.
Wooth loss can occur for a variety of reasons, including trauma, decay, and disease. Regardless of how teeth are lost, patients must speak to a dental professional about replacement options. One common restoration is the dental implant, a tooth root replacement fabricated from titanium that can replace one, several, or all teeth in the dental arch at Eckland Family Dental, Drs. Kale Eckland, Alina Tran, and Lauren Ma are available to help patients in the Redmond and Everett, Washington, area restore their smiles with these restorations and can answer questions about the dental implant procedure.
Why should I visit a dentist for missing teeth to learn more about dental implants?
Our team provides restorative dentistry solutions for patients who need to repair their smiles. We are well-versed in dental implants and other alternative treatments like dentures and dental bridges, and can help you select the right treatment for you.
What are the steps involved in the dental implant process?
First, we start with an initial evaluation and consultation appointment to discuss your dental needs. If you are a candidate for dental implants and decide to move forward, we will schedule a minor surgical procedure appointment during which titanium posts are placed into the jawbone. Once the fusing process is complete (roughly 3-6 months), the titanium post is then covered using a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on the current situation and the number of teeth missing from the smile.
Are dental implants a good option for my smile?
Quality dental implants are an excellent solution for many patients with missing teeth. During your consultation appointment at Eckland Family Dental, we evaluate your oral health and determine if you have sufficient bone mass in the jaw to hold the implant securely. We’ll also review any existing conditions, such as gum disease or tooth decay, that may affect the success of dental implants.

How do I take care of my dental implants after they are placed?
Caring for our dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, routine dental check-ups, and cleanings are necessary to maintain your implants’ health. It is also important to avoid habits like smoking cigarettes or chewing on very hard objects that might damage the implant.
