Common questions for a dental implants dentist
Drs. Kale Eckland, Alina Tran, and Laura Ma of Eckland Family Dental serve Redmond and Everett, Washington families with general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. This includes the placement and restoration of dental implants. Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth, though they are not right for everyone. If you are looking for a dentist offering implants, we invite you to continue reading some frequently asked questions before contacting our office to schedule a consultation.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. They are surgically placed into your jawbone to support a crown, fixed bridge, or denture, providing a natural-looking, durable solution for missing teeth.
Do dental implants look natural?
Absolutely! Dental implants are specifically designed to blend in seamlessly with a patient’s natural teeth. The crowns attached to the implants are custom-made to match the characteristics of the smile, including the color, shape, and size of the surrounding teeth, so no one will even know they are there!

Are dental implants painful?
While the thought of oral surgery might sound intimidating, most patients are surprised by how little discomfort they feel. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and any post-surgery pain is usually managed with over-the-counter medication. The long-term benefits make the process well worth it.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, your dental implants might last a lifetime! Maintaining proper oral hygiene habits, such as brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, helps your implants remain strong for many years.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most of our patients who have good oral health and enough jawbone density are excellent candidates. Our team assesses your individual case, but even if you have experienced past bone loss, procedures like bone grafting can often make implants possible.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The timeline varies between patients, but on average, the process takes a few months. This includes allowing time for the implant to securely integrate with the jawbone, ensuring long-term durability and stability.
Do dental implants require special care?
Dental implants are cared for just like your natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dental team at Eckland Family Dental regularly; it’s just that simple.
Are dental implants worth the investment?
Definitely! While implants might have a higher initial cost than other tooth replacement options, their longevity, function, and natural appearance make them a smart long-term investment in your oral health and confidence.
