Keeping your teeth in their natural state is always the most ideal, but sometimes teeth need to be removed. Dental implants by Federal Way caring dentist Dr. Lee are an amazing way to replace missing teeth. Dental implants have been in use for more than 20 years and have proven to be a very good option for tooth replacement.
A dental implant:
- Looks just like a natural tooth.
- Will preserve the proper bone levels in the jaw.
- Can replace teeth where a fixed bridge is not an option.
- Can replace several teeth and even be anchors for a bridge.
- Can be placed to make dentures more stable.
During your dental implant procedure, you can expect:
- A periodontist or oral surgeon will place the implant in the jaw and monitor the healing.
- Once healed, you will see us for two appointments for the fabrication of the custom crown.
Once dental implants are placed, excellent home care is essential to ensure the longevity of the implants. Dr. Lee advises patients with implants to visit our office no less than two times per year to ensure the health of the teeth and implants. With proper care, dental implants from Federal Way dentist Dr. Lee can last for decades!
