Dental Implants in Bellingham, WA

Dental implants are one of the best ways to replace missing teeth.

At Northside Dental Care in Bellingham, Washington, our dentists use dental implants to restore both the function and appearance of your smile.

If you have lost one tooth or several teeth due to injury, decay, or disease, dental implants can help you smile, eat, and speak with confidence again.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant acts like an artificial tooth root.

The implant is a small post placed into the jawbone. It is usually made of titanium, a strong metal that safely bonds with bone.

Once the implant heals, a replacement tooth is attached to it.

The replacement tooth may be:

• A dental crown (for one missing tooth)
• A dental bridge (for several missing teeth)
• A denture supported by implants

Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Advantages of Dental Implants

Dental implants can fully restore the strength and stability of a missing tooth.

Because the implant acts as the root of the tooth, it allows the replacement tooth to feel strong and secure while eating and speaking.

Implants are also designed to look very natural. The crown attached to the implant blends into your smile so well that most people cannot tell it is a replacement tooth.

Our dentists use high-quality ceramic materials to create crowns that match the color and shape of your natural teeth.

– Protecting Your Jawbone –

Dental implants also help protect your jawbone after tooth loss.

When a tooth is lost, the bone that once supported the root can begin to shrink. This process is called bone loss.

An implant signals to the body that the bone is still needed to support a tooth. This helps maintain bone strength and facial structure.

– Implant-Supported Dentures –

For patients who have lost many or all of their teeth, implants can support a full denture.

Even a small number of implants can:

• Help stop bone loss
• Provide strong support for dentures
• Improve comfort and stability

Implant-supported dentures fit securely and help restore both function and confidence when eating and speaking.
