Dental Implants in the Tri-Cities, WA, Area

No matter how well you take care of your oral health, you smile won’t look its best if you have missing or misshapen teeth. Luckily, dental implants from Mid-Columbia Dental in the Tri-Cities, WA, area can help. These permanent tooth replacements are natural-looking and durable, enabling you to talk, chew, and smile with confidence and ease.

The Dental Implant Process

While the dental implant process can take many months to complete, it is often the best solution for a mouth that has misshapen or missing teeth. The exact process will vary depending on your situation, but in general, you can expect the following steps to occur:

1. Removal of the tooth
2. Preparation of the jawbone, followed by a period of waiting while the jawbone heals
3. Placement of the dental implant post, followed by a period of waiting for the soft tissue to heal
4. Placement of the abutment (an extension of the dental implant post), again followed by a period of waiting
5. Creation of molds of jawbone and teeth
6. Placement of the tooth or teeth

We will discuss the exact steps and schedule for your dental implant treatment during your initial consultation with us.
