The Dental Implant Process: What to Expect at Our Federal Way Office

Initial Consultation and Planning

The dental implant journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Federal Way office. During this visit, we’ll assess your oral health, review your medical history, and take detailed X-rays or 3D scans to evaluate your jawbone structure. This information helps us create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Implant Placement Procedure

The next step is the surgical placement of the titanium implant into the jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. After the implant is placed, a healing period of a few months allows the implant to fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong, stable foundation for the artificial tooth.

Restoration and Aftercare

Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, we’ll attach an abutment and a custom-designed crown that matches your natural teeth. After the restoration is complete, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you maintain your implant. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene will ensure the longevity of your new smile.

All consultations and treatment plans are personalized based on individual oral health conditions, medical history, and specific goals. Recommendations provided during your visit will be tailored to ensure the best possible outcomes for your unique situation.
