Traditional Dental Implant Surgery
If you have missing teeth, it is crucial to replace them. Without all your teeth, chewing and eating can destabilize your bite and cause you discomfort. When teeth are missing, your mouth can shift and even cause your face to look older. Implants are a great way to replace your missing teeth and, if properly maintained, can last a lifetime!
The sudden loss of a tooth for any reason is a traumatic and uncomfortable situation. Dr. Hsu, a periodontist in the Kirkland and Puget Sound areas, is an expert at the immediate replacement of teeth with dental implants. The emergency implant is a procedure where the doctor will remove a broken or decayed tooth and immediately place a dental implant in the area. This implant will be restored with a temporary tooth that looks, feels and functions just like a normal healthy tooth. After a brief healing period your dentist, prosthodontist, or one of our doctors will place your final, natural looking replacement tooth. Dr. Hsu has performed numerous of these immediate dental implants on her patients, many of whom are dentists or doctors themselves who have had the misfortune of losing or breaking a tooth.
