Dental Implants

Dental implants represent the gold standard in tooth replacement technology, offering a durable, long-lasting, and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. At Yakima Valley Dentistry, we specialize in providing high-quality dental implant services, designed to restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile. Here’s what you need to know about our dental implants:

What Are Dental Implants? Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. These posts serve as a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, allowing for a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution for tooth replacement.
• Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence.
• Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure. They also help prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.
• Enhanced Functionality: Implants restore chewing efficiency and eliminate the discomfort often associated with removable dentures.

The Dental Implant Process:

1. Consultation and Planning: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation to assess your oral health and determine if you are a candidate for dental implants. We use advanced imaging techniques to plan your treatment precisely.
2. Surgical Placement: The implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone. We ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, using the latest techniques for pain management.
3. Healing and Osseointegration: Following the placement, a period of healing is required for the implant to integrate with the bone, a process known as osseointegration.
4. Restoration: Once the implant has bonded with the jawbone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant post, completing your smile restoration.
