Affordable Dental Implants Kirkland, WA

Problems a Missing Tooth Can Cause

A missing tooth rarely stays a one-tooth problem. Nearby teeth can shift into the gap, your bite can change, and chewing on one side becomes second nature without you even noticing.

Over time, the jawbone under the missing tooth starts to lose density since it no longer gets the stimulation a natural root provides. This can affect the shape of your face and make future treatment more involved the longer it’s left alone.

Dental implants in Kirkland replace both the tooth and its root, so your bite, your jawbone, and your smile stay supported the way they were before.

How Dental Implants Help

This treatment replaces your missing tooth from the root up. Dr. Hedayati places a titanium post into your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over the following months in a process called osseointegration.

Our dental implants in Kirkland restore what a missing tooth affects, including:

Shifted neighboring teeth that moved into the gap
Bite problems caused by uneven chewing pressure
Jawbone loss from the missing tooth's root
Teeth gaps left by a missing tooth
Chewing difficulty on the affected side

Once healed, we attach a custom crown to the post, which matches the color and shape of your natural teeth. This missing tooth replacement in Kirkland functions like a real tooth, so you can chew, speak, and smile without worrying about it shifting or coming loose. Most implants take 3 to 6 months from placement to final crown, though healing time varies by patient.
