Dental Implants

Sometimes, our natural teeth fail us and we either lose them or need to have them extracted. But that doesn’t mean you need to live with missing teeth forever. When you’re missing teeth, you often find yourself missing out on the things you used to enjoy, like eating favorite foods, laughing or smiling with confidence, or talking with ease. Seattle dentist Dr. Chung can replace your missing teeth with dental implants to complete your smile and get you back to enjoying a full life again.

Dental implants are a reliable and long-lasting solution that can restore both your smile and your quality of life. Unlike traditional dentures, implants are securely anchored in your jawbone, providing a stable foundation that feels just like natural teeth. This means you can eat your favorite foods without worry, smile confidently, and engage in conversations without hesitation. Dr. Chung will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan, ensuring that your dental implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful, functional smile.

What Are Dental Implants?

If you are missing one or more teeth, we can use dental implants to replace the teeth and give you back a full, healthy smile. The dental implant itself is actually a small titanium post that we surgically place into your jawbone in the space left behind by a missing tooth. The titanium fuses with the bone to create what essentially functions as a new tooth root. Once the implant has healed, we place an abutment onto the post and top the whole thing with a restoration like a crown or bridge. This is the part of the structure that sits above the gum line and looks like your surrounding teeth. If you’re missing many teeth, we can even use implants to support a denture and replace an entire arch of teeth! Implants are versatile and strong, so we can use them to get your smile back in shape.
