Dental Implants in Spokane WA
If you have missing teeth, replacing them with dental implants is almost always the recommended course of therapy. Not only are implants strong, they also mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth more closely than any other modern restorative treatment.
What Are Dental Implants?
Implants are made of biocompatible materials to recreate the function of a natural tooth root. Once the titanium implant is placed inside of the bone, new bone grows around it to secure it permanently into the jaw. Dr. Molgard places some dental implants here in our Spokane office using our advanced Cone Beam X-ray technology to ensure precision. He works with a local Oral Surgeon or Periodontist to coordinate surgery on more involved cases.
Once the artificial roots are placed, Dr. Molgard restores the implants with realistic prosthetics that give you the smile you’ve always wanted. No detail is left untouched. From the precise fit and function to the shade and texture of each tooth, your new smile will be as dazzling as you had hoped it would be.
What Are The Benefits of Dental Implants?
With implants, you benefit from:- Increased stability throughout the jaw
- An artificial tooth that looks like the real thing
- The ability to replace as few or as many teeth as needed
- Not having to reshape adjacent teeth (as with a traditional bridge)
- Treatment that can last for the rest of your life
All-on-4 Dentures
If you need to replace all of your teeth at one time, the All-on-4 denture uses a streamlined prosthesis that can be anchored on top of just four implants. The slim design mimics the feel and appearance of real teeth. Plus, it never comes out of your mouth!Teeth in a Day
Depending on the complexity of your case, it may be that Dr. Molgard can perform an entire All-on-4 treatment in just one day (even with extractions). For these cases, a temporary denture is worn over the implants until the bone is fully healed, and then a permanent denture is fixed into place a bit later on.Implant Supported Removable Dentures
Take a step up from removable dentures with our implant supported option. Using as few as two locator implants, these dentures snap in and out of place for easy maintenance. They’re more comfortable to wear than conventional dentures as they do not shift out of place when you eat or talk.Single or Multiple-Tooth Replacement
Due to the integrity of implants, they are perfect for supporting a single crown, or for using in pairs to support a dental bridge. When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants make it easier than ever to choose the option that’s right for your personal needs.
