At Smart Dental in Richland, WA, we believe everyone deserves a smile from which they can be proud. Under the skilled guidance of
Dr. Petersen, we specialize in transforming smiles and lives with dental implants. Our approach combines the latest in dental technology with personalized care, aiming to give you a reason to smile brighter.
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for anyone looking to replace missing teeth. They offer a blend of durability, aesthetics, and functionality that closely mirrors natural teeth. Here's how they are placed:
The journey to a new smile begins with the implant itself, a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth “root.” This post is expertly placed into your bone, where it integrates with the bone over time, creating a strong foundation for the artificial tooth.
Once the implant has bonded with your jawbone, an abutment is attached. This component links the implant and the replacement tooth, emerging just above the gum line.
The final piece of the puzzle is the crown. Custom-designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size, the crown is attached to the abutment, completing your transformation.
Choosing dental implants offers several advantages:
Implants mimic the appearance and function of your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution.
Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants stimulate and preserve natural bone growth, helping to maintain your facial structure.
Implants don't require altering adjacent teeth, which preserves more of your natural tooth structure.
Smart Dental, led by the experienced Dr. Petersen, is your premier destination for dental implants in Richland, WA. We offer a range of implant solutions tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. Our dental implant services include:
Our traditional dental implants provide a sturdy, permanent base for individual crowns, bridges, or dentures. They're the closest you can get to natural teeth, offering unparalleled stability and confidence.
Snap-in dentures represent a significant upgrade from traditional dentures. Anchored by implants, these dentures snap securely into place, eliminating common issues like slipping or discomfort. They're removable for easy cleaning, blending convenience with the benefits of implant technology.
For those in need of a full arch restoration, the All-on-X procedure offers a comprehensive solution. This technique involves placing four or more implants in the jaw, which support a full set of prosthetic teeth. The result is a fixed, non-removable set of teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth, dramatically improving quality of life.
Dr. Petersen and the team at Smart Dental are passionate about helping our patients achieve their dream smiles. We understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your life, and we're here to provide solutions that look fantastic and stand the test of time.
