Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants are comfortable and can last a lifetime with with proper care. Whether you have lost a single tooth or a full set of teeth or require multiple dental extractions, you can trust Smile Source South Hill for top implant services in Spokane and beyond! 

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are permanent, natural-looking dental restorations created using titanium posts implanted into the jawbone. These posts serve as the foundation for attaching the dental implants. Implants have an ultra-secure fit and allow patients to enjoy a wide variety of foods.

The dental implant placement process typically involves multiple visits to our Spokane dental office. We start with a consultation to discuss goals and select your ideal treatment plan.

Once we are ready to proceed, the first step is to place the implant into the jawbone. Afterward, a healing period is necessary that allows the implant to fuse with jawbone through osseointegration. The implant will then function just like a your natural tooth and root. Sufficient bone in the jaw is essential for the implant to remain strong and provide the necessary support. If needed, bone grafts can be performed to provide additional support.

We offer the following dental implant systems at Smile Source South Hill:

Single Dental Implants

Each single dental implant is designed to replace a missing tooth and its root, which is sealed with a custom-shaded dental crown that perfectly matches the patient's natural smile.

All-on-4® Dental Implants

All-on-4 implant dentures are a long-lasting solution for patients with removable dentures. This system provides patients with a new, complete set of teeth on the same day as their procedure. It involves implanting four titanium implants into the upper or lower arch, securing them firmly to the jawbone, and attaching custom dentures. All-On-4 dental implants appear natural and realistic, specifically crafted for comfort and fit.

Hybrid Implant Dentures

With hybrid dental implants, dentures are permanently affixed using dental implants. This is a suitable tooth replacement solution for individuals experiencing widespread tooth loss and are concerned about the cost of full-mouth dental implants. 

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures provide secure and comfortable fitting by attaching to dental implants, offering improved stability and a healthier alternative to traditional dentures. These dentures promote healthy bone retention and are a superior alternative to traditional dentures. They are removable and require daily care.

Caring for Your Dental Implants

After healing, the patient returns to our office to complete the implant process. Once the implant is in place, an abutment or connector is attached to ensure stability. This connector acts as a support for the custom-made crown. The crown is crafted to perfectly match the shape, size, and color of the patient's existing teeth, seamlessly blending in with their natural smile. Temporary crowns may be used until the permanent crown is installed. They also stimulate jawbone growth, making them the healthiest choice for tooth replacement.
