Restore your smile with dental implants in Spokane Valley

For years we have depended on dentures and bridges to replace missing teeth. And for those of you that have dentures you understand how difficult it is to speak, eat, and even smile with dentures. Implants can fix this. On this page I hope to help make implants easier to understand and what we can do with them. In the past, for one or two missing teeth you would get a bridge, which involves the grinding away of good tooth structure. Implants can fix this.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium screw that is placed in your mouth that holds a crown or a denture in place. This has changed the lives of many of our patients at Spokane Family Dental. We no longer have to rely on adhesives or suction to hold dentures. We no longer have to grind good teeth down to stubs to replace a tooth.

The Dental Implant Process

The process involves minimal discomfort and downtime. Most patients have no discomfort during or after the procedure.

There are three parts to the implant: the titanium implant screw that is placed, the abutment, which holds the crown onto the implant and then the crown. On the side there is another illustration that shows how closely the implant replicates our real teeth and the three parts of the implant.

Implant Options at Spokane Family Dental

At Spokane Family Dental we know how frustrating dentures can be. Generally we can get the upper dentures somewhat comfortable with the suction of the pallet. For some dentures, upper and lowers, can just be very uncomfortable. Our team can place implants and a denture that stays in.

We offer many options for implant-retained dentures including: hybrid dentures, all on 4 dentures, and locator-supported dentures. All have different costs, pros and cons. Come in for a complimentary exam to evaluate your case and we will answer any questions you have.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Another reason implants are a great option for tooth replacement is it holds the bone in the jaw. As you remove teeth the supporting bone is lost. This has 2 major consequences. 1. You lose supporting bone for teeth surrounding the tooth that was lost. This can cause sensitivity issues, loose teeth and esthetic concerns. 2. It makes our cheeks ‘sink in’ and make us age more as you can see in the picture below. Implants have revolutionized the way we replace teeth. Implants help retain the bone and bone loss is minimal was the implant is placed and stable. If you are thinking about implants please call us today.

  • "Came here for a dental emergency and was greeted warmly and seen the same day! I was given a tour of the office and love how clean and welcoming it is. Loved how through the dentist was in making sure I knew what was going on with my dental health and what I could do to keep my smile looking great!"

    Peter K.

  • "This is the best dental office I’ve been to in my 50+ years! The doctors and staff love their job and it shows. They are especially attentive to patient comfort and individual needs/preferences/priorities. I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes once I’ve checked in. Appointments are easily available to schedule. They are also much more affordable than the last couple of dental offices I’ve been to, so I don’t feel like good dental care is an unattainable luxury. Please give them a try! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the difference you experience there."

    Tina F.

  • "Gratitude abounds for the exceptional team at Spokane Family Dental. Their commitment to going above and beyond creates an atmosphere where patients, like myself, truly feel like part of the family. It's not just dental care; it's an experience rooted in genuine care and kindness."

    Lukas K.

  • "The dentist has always been a struggle for me and my daughter who is on the spectrum. The office walls are covered with green leafy plant stuff which dramtically reduces the echo and noise, they showed my daughter around the entire place before putting her in the chair. Then they asked her what they could do to help her. Most importantly...they listened and they heard her. Before she told them she is on the spectrum they were explaining things before they did it. Something as simple as telling her they were going to raise and lower her chair before they did. For those that know how critical these things are YOU KNOW. I cannot thank this team enough. You truly are phenomenal!!!!!"
