A titanium implant is placed in the bone to anchor the future crown. The implant serves as the root for the future crown. After allowing up to 6 months for the bone around the implant to integrate, the implant is ready for crown placement. It's just like having a natural tooth. And like natural teeth, implants are fixed in the bone and do not require daily removal for hygiene.
Maintenance involves brushing and flossing, like any other tooth. With good home care and regular examinations, implants can function well for a very long time. The best results with dental implants in Woodinville are reached with the combination of proper dental procedures and a high level of care from the patient at home.
